Donate my hair to Locks of Love
So i did it!

Three years ago I started to grow out my shoulder length hair to donate to locks of love. But I started falling in love with this long hair and for awhile stayed away from my original goal. My hair had become my security blanket and whether it be because of fear of how I might look with short hair or the wondering if I would I be sexy with short hair and if guys still be attracted to me with short hair; All of these questions thwarted me. Until I read this article about living consciously and I took my first step to do that.
I made an appointment with my hairstylist, and found some pictures of styles I might like, and went the salon.

30 Minutes later, with 18 inches of love to send I came out.



write a journal
journaling

I had seen a counselor and she gave me a journal. She said that It would help and five months later I’m starting the journaling process.



let my hair grow long again
short short hair

SO. I donated my hair to locks of love and now my once luscious 18 inches, is a pixie.

I love that I helped people, but I do not love this hair. I feel like a boy ;(
