But it did go to a good cause. Today I donated my hair to Locks of Love. It is a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children who have suffered from long-term medical hair loss. I have been growing my hair out for about 18 months now with the idea in my mind to donate it when I could. Well, the time came.
Before (hideous photo, but it does it's job.)
Chopping off 10 inches!
No going back! (Actually, I wasn't nervous at all. I love short hair!)
Self-portrait of after. (I don't know why I look surprised.)
A head-tilt so you can see the hair angle. I love it!
The kids were upset that I was getting my hair cut. Olivia does not have a security blanket/animal. Her security is my hair. She holds it at night, when she's tired or upset, and every second that she is able in between. Cameron just isn't a fan of change. He was afraid I wouldn't look like his Mommy anymore. He said, "I like you the way you are." So sweet! I also think they thought I was going to shave it off, because that is what I would threaten anytime they pulled my hair. Oops!
Well, there it is! My hair is in the mail and I feel good!
