I said another very large goodbye on Thursday....to my hair!
I cut 11 inches off my hair and donated it to

LOCKS OF LOVE.
This was a huge thing for me. I have NEVER had even mildly short hair. the idea started with me just wanting to get a new look and something a bit shorter for the summer. Then, I realized I could have that AND donate it. I had this great idea before I knew locks of love requires a minimum of 10 inches...THAT IS A CRAP LOAD OF HAIR. The reason they require 10 inches is bc most wigs are for little girls who all want long hair. Once I read that it was too late....I had to donate. I started thinking about all those sweet little girls who have cancer etc. and want long hair. How could I not sacrifice the long hair I've had all of my life to help a little one? Did you know it takes 8-10 ponytails of 10 inches to make ONE wig? That's insane right? Anyway, it was pretty gut wrenching when my hair dresser did the big chop, but i survived and since then I've really liked short hair. I cut a total of 11 inches off and my hair is now just above my chin! It won't even go in a ponytail!! I felt cool wind on my neck for the first time yesterday and about flipped! There's many perks to short hair including less shower time and shampoo usage.
