Locks of Love

Well today I followed in my nieces footsteps and decided to donate my hair to Locks of Love.  Becka donated last year, I think and Rachel donated in April of this year.  Unfortunately I didn't get a before shot of me but here is a picture of how much I got cut off. 

 As you can see (if you click on the picture) I got a little over 16 inches cut off to donate and probably at least another inch or two for the hair style.
And here is a picture of me with my new hair cut.


Giving your hair to locks of love is a really good way to help out those who need wigs due to cancer treatment.  I know for some getting that much hair cut off is pretty traumatic and the hairdresser is always a little worried you will react badly once you see how short your hair is.  I however have never worried about it and it's never been traumatic for me I always say it's just hair it will grow back.  

Thanks to Becka and Rachel for being such an inspiration to me and setting a good example by donating your hair to locks of love.  Thanks girls!!!

I love it!!! I am partial to short hair though. Mine reaches my shoulders and I chop it off. You look great! (this is your niece, Michelle)
