So I chopped off my hair!
On Saturday I had CPR training in the morning. As I sat there, I began to think.... "Niana is with Scott all morning. My hair is driving my nuts. I just measured it, and it's gotta be 9 inches! Time for my hair to be gone!"
For those of you who don't know. I have been growing my hair since right after I had Niana. That's when I found out my BFF Monica was diagnosed with cancer. She did loose her hair because of the treatments, but her hair is coming back slowly. The rest of us from college decicded to grow out our hair and cut it for Locks for Love. Mine has been resting at 9 inches for the longest time, so I looked up Pantene and they would take 8 inches.
Saturday I went to the last place I got my hair cut (over a year ago) and asked if they would dontate their time to cut my hair to donate. Well, I walked into the right place. The stylist actually has been doing this for 6 months. She takes the cost of the haircut and puts it into a MMA to (hopefully) increase and then donates it to wig making for people going through chemo. She had tons of wigs all over the store that came from donations right here in our small town. (It was also very cool because I could try on the wigs and see which style I liked best.)
The stylist (being very proficient at getting the most hair off of someone) knew exactally how to put my hair in ponies to get all the right lengths. And voila! Here is my hair. It kinda goes up shorter in the back (which you can't see in the pic) and I totally love it. It doesn't do so good curly, so I must straighten it, but that takes much less time than using the diffuser to dry my 10" of hair!
SO.... if you ever reach 8-10 inches and want to donate your hair, I know just the place!
(And blessings to Monica as she continues her chemo treatment and is getting rid of this cancer!)
