Locks of Love


I decide awhile back that I wanted to grow my hair out and donate it to "locks of love" The problem with this was I was really getting tired of my long hair, and it wasn't quite long enough to donate yet. (I needed 10 inches) But I could not handle being what felt like Rapunzel any longer. So I cut my hair, I was very comfortable with cutting about 7 to 8 inches off. But when I got there to get my hair cut I just couldn't handle throwing that hair away. So I went for the full 10 inches. I went from the longest I can ever remember my hair being to the shortest. Matayia and Kaitlyn were facinated by the ponytail I brought home. (You mail your hair to Locks for Love)Matayia loved to smell it, she said it smelled so clean and Kaitlyn just wanted to carry it around and show everyone who came to our house. Both of these things really grossed me out, so I packaged up my hair and mailed it as soon as possible. I am getting used to my short hair, though maybe the summer is a better time to have short hair because my neck has gotten a little cold the last little while. Looking at the bright side I am perfectly capable of growing back my hair while others don't always have that same luxury. I will happily just buy a new warm scarf, to keep my bare neck warm this winter.

Ooh! I can't wait to see your new hairdo!

I love that you donated to Locks of Love. I've always wanted to do that.
