donate my hair

I’ve donated my hair before, but I want to do it again! My hair is about 3 inches shy from being at my waist, and, when it gets there, I’ll donate it. I keep my hair nice and healthy…get it trimmed every three months, avoiding irons/hairdryers/etc…
I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve just a little nervous about decided how I want to cut my hair.

I picked the donation place, I have a few selections for hairstyles after it’s cut, I just need to do it! Stop procrastinating! Hair grows, the longness will be back. Gah!

I used to have really long hair when I was younger. But when I was in 5th grade, I got cut it short, and my hair has stayed short ever since. Now I’m going to grow it out and donate it.

I have an obsession of experimenting with my hair. Different colours, short, long…you know? To donate my hair, it has to be natural, not dyed nor permed. So my goal is to grow my hair long with out doing anything to it except washing daily. Currently, my hair is blue/green colour so i would have to wait ‘til that grows out.

I love my long hair. but i’m gonna do this. the though about a little child or somebody else walking around with my hair and feeling pretty and happy makes me so happy. im gonna do it. im just scared. I LOVE MY LONG HAIR. well well, im gonna do it.

My stylist A suggested it yesterday and I’m glad she did. It always makes me feel sad to see my hair on the floor after a cut…

I did it yesterday and it felt sooo good to cut off all that hair.
12 1/2” to pantene beautiful lengths

Locks of love…12 inches gone! I miss my hair but it was worth it. It felt amazing knowing I’d be helping other people :)

Over Father’s Day weekend I finally took the chop. I’ve been growing it out since my sophomore year in college to donate in honor of my mother and her breast cancer bout. Originally my sisters and I were all going to do it at the same time and some time after our mom’s 5th year of remission anniversary. Unfortunately the following year the doctors found more cancer and she underwent chemo and radiation this time. When her hair starting going my sister J cut her hair then. My mom finished her treatments at the beginning of spring and when her hair started growing back Katie did hers, and I last. We found a really great salon up in NOVA that donated from their shop which made it really convenient. Everyone who didn’t know what I had cut it for asked me if I had been nervous for cutting it so short and I couldn’t quite explain just how long I’d been waiting to cut it. It was everything I’d be waiting for, and when it was cut I said goodbye to all those years and everything those years represented. It was such a relief to have it gone and to be growing my hair back with my Mom, I can’t imagine it any other way.

i love my long hair right now…and im not ready to part with it just yet, but i think someday maybe next summer i’d like to donate it. i guess we’ll see
