First, let's put the data in order from least to greatest:

8, 10, 11, 11, 11.4, 12.3, 12.5, 12.5, 13, 14, 14, 14.1, 26

Since there is an even number of data points (13), the median will be the average of the two middle numbers: 13th and 14th data points.

(12.5 + 13) / 2 = 12.75

So, the median hair length is 12.75 inches.
