I have been thinking about cutting my hair for months. I enjoy getting my hair cut as much as I enjoy visiting the dentist for a root canal. I would rather go and see a gynecologist and get weighed and sit on tissue paper that always seems to crawl up my backside, than get my hair cut. I decided I would cut my hair today and Sweetheart said she wanted hers cut. We flew out the door without a second thought.
Sweetheart stated she wanted her hair cut short. I was thinking shoulder length. She walks in and thumbs through a few styling books and comes up with ULTRA short. "Hmmmm...OK". The hair dresser suggests if she should have 10 inches cut off and she will be able to donate her hair to Locks of Love. She is now ecstatic that she gets to do something charitable. I am still hesitant.
I tell the hair stylist to show me what 10 inches would look like on my head. "Uhhh... I don't think so." I chickened out and had my hair cut 8 inches. Two inches shy of a charitable donation. I am sorry, I just couldn't do it! But, I got bangs and now I am second guessing that too.
The requirements to donate your hair are really simple.
-hair must be clean
-hair must be at least 10 inches. (if in layers your longest layer must measure 10inches
-hair must be tied back in a pony tail or braided
-hair must not be bleached or highlighted but dyed is acceptable.

I have a picture of a beautiful little girl, who was happy to help someone feel beautiful too by donating her hair!
