Topanga's big chop was an iconic moment in the *Boy Meets World* universe — and Danielle Fishel said her mom kept a memento of it after all these years.

Fishel, who played Topanga, previously discussed sharing her locks with in-studio audience members after she snipped her hair during the season 4 episode "Hair Today, Goon Tomorrow."

But to her surprise, Fishel discovered that she hadn't gotten rid of all the strands. On the most recent episode of *Pod Meets World,* the actress said her mother, who kept all of her *Boy Meets World *memorabilia, recently gave her a chunk from that nearly 30-year-old episode.

"I have the biggest chunk," she said.

On the show, Topanga tries to make a statement about vanity by chopping off her beautiful, long hair, but it backfires as the teen spirals out of insecurity.

In real life, Fishel had wanted to get her "first adult haircut" for months before the episode, but the producers wouldn't let her touch her head until they could write it into the show. Even after the producers agreed to let her cut her hair, Fishel said they argued over the length.

"It was an actual negotiation," she said in a previous episode of the podcast. "And there was a lot of stress about whether or not I was gonna listen because [they] knew I had all the power with the scissors in my hands."

The audience gasped when she snipped her real hair, but they were eager to get a piece after the taping ended.

Now, Fishel is uninterested in sharing the rest of the loot with others. After costar Will Friedle suggested auctioning off the hair for charity, Fishel shut down the idea.

"Whoever buys that, what do they do with it?" she asked.

Instead, Topanga's iconic chopped hair will remain in her garage for the rest of her life — or until Fishel's kids clean it out of the house.
