locks of love.

i have long hair. and i love it.

donating my hair to locks of love (provides wigs to children with hair loss who cant afford them) has always been something that i at the back of my mind. i figured by posting a blog about it i actually have to do it now.

10 inches is the minimum length for donating. but that produces a shorter wig. most little girls who get the wigs ask for long hair.

so im trying to decided if i should cut my hair now, or let it grow longer before i cut it off.

the shortest i have ever had my hair was freshman year of high school. it was above the shoulder in a cute layered look. but when i first got my hair cut i cried.
i cried, over hair.
how vain of me. i mean some people dont even have hair. like my dad. seriously.

crying over hair is entirely acceptable in girl world. like i bet the average female has cried over her hair.
looking back i think thats a waste of tears. there are much bigger things to cry over, for sure.

so in conclusion, expect a hair update some day. because i plan on cutting off my hair and donating it.

and for all my fans out there: dont worry. it will grow back.

well they do end up selling alot of the hair to professional wig makers to off set the costs.

so my hair might not got to a bald kid.

but the money will go to helping a bald kid. so im fine with that.

Yeh I've heard that a lot of hair isn't used for some reason or other.
check it out.

I think that the totally bald look would show the most dedication to helping.

I like your hair though. so.

go there. see and read the comments.


Have you ever thought about donating blood? Much more life saving. I'd say donate hair too.

Might as well.

I think it is a great idea. You are sweet to think of others.

I notice that you posted this on Tuesday.

Today (thursday) our local paper has an article about this very thing. Check it out!
