grow out my hair & donate it to Locks of Love

i’m mostly there i think i might actually have 10 inches right now if i’m willing to chop it super short. this whole thing started as something i’ve wanted to do for a long time and turned into my friends begging me not to get rid of my hair. but all good things must be cut and grown back right? i’m thinking when i cut it in june i’ll cut it short and then grow it out again and do it again next year. Also considering dipping the ends pink to support the Avon Walk when i participate this year.

26+ inch ponytail chopped on the eve of my 28th birthday and donated to Locks of Love!

fear and vanity: ROCKED! (this time around, anyway)

so I’m almost half way there last year i did not get this far before i gave up and chopped it off. but I’m doing much better this time. instead of measuring constantly i set a cut off date so to speak. so i still have till june just before or after the avon walk for breast cancer.

...my hair is grey enough that they can’t use it (but they do sell natural grey hair) or it’s colored (which they can use). It’s hard for my hair to grow that long, and I can tell I’m just not going to make it this time. Maybe next year.

It’s pretty much grown at this time, although I’m not sure if the ends are healthy enough to count or if the color at the bottom disqualifies it.

The only things stopping me now are fear and vanity – I’ve grown pretty attached to my long hair, and the way it looks and feels.

very worthwhile!
