grow my hair out & donate it to locks of love

I did it!!! It was maybe 2 weeks ago, I didn’t even remember I’d put it here…(it’s been awhile since I’ve gotten on here)...
I was at the point where I’d get 7 inches cut or whatever, and then decided ya know what, it’s 3 more inches, and it will grow back. Just do it. So I did. I will say there was a little separation anxiety (I brought a buddy for moral support) but it is totally worth it. I want to do it again!

I’ve decided I’m not as thrilled with the organization Locks of Love than I originally thought—hence, I no longer want to do this.

Ive done this since I was about 8. My mom would braid my hair everyday to keep it nice and neat, and every time it would grow to 14 inches, my mom would take me to the hair salon and get it all cut off. Well not all of it..and I’ve dont this about 3 times so far. And Im 15 now, its nice to have done something that everybody thinks is nice.

here you go B! and yesterday! eve stopped by work! it was lovely! she asked about you! love!

bwahaha! looking at my icon, my hair is so short and in pigtails. i said i was months away last may, and here i am.. march. i think it’s getting closer – er. i think? thomas doesnt want to cut it and i am secretly getting attached to it.

I cut my hair yesterday but it wasn’t long enough to donate :(

Oh well, I guess I’ll have to start over… I will do this someday!!

I think I’m cutting my hair later this week. I hope it’s long enough to donate, but it’s going to be really short. Well, for me it will be short. I don’t think I will even be able to put it in a ponytail after I cut it… and I haven’t had short hair in a really long time. I’m nervous about how it will look though, because it’s so thick and wavy… I just hope it doesn’t poof out and look really bizarre! AHHH

I got my hair cut yesterday! When I get back on campus, I’ll troop over to the Student Health Center to add my ponytail to their donation box. I haven’t had chin-length hair … ever!

i don’t give up on this yet, it’s just… while i once grew my hair out to my waist, i now get the craving to cut it long before it gets there- and have, twice. so we’ll see how this one goes.

I have always had long hair. For most of my life my mom has cut my hair, with the exception of a few times, once in 4th grade and then a few times since college started. In 8th grade my hair reached just past my hip. YEAH, I mean it was LONG. Why I didn’t donate it then I don’t know. It definitely could’ve been used. Once I hit 10th grade I got it cut short again and tried to grow it to my mid-waist or hip again by graduation but that didn’t happen. Since then I don’t worry about growing it out, I just trim it whenever I feel like I need it. But the last time I got it cut, I wanted to do locks of love. 3 more inches and I would have. I got 7 inches cut off. I felt really bad. I mean I could’ve waited what, another few months? But the long hair was actually bugging me for the first time ever in my life, I think because now I’m expected to look professional or whatever. But I really want to do it. So far I haven’t been very good at accomplishing this goal, so we’ll see how it goes.
