Guys, I'm going to be real here.
Until recently, I hadn't cut my hair since March of 2014. Yeah, I'm serious - that's a year and a half!
But my ends were pretty dead... and it was taking me SO long to dry my hair (pregnancy made it even longer and thicker!)... oh, and did I mention that my hair brush literally snapped in h alf one morning while I was using it?!
That was my breaking point.
I knew I had to cut it, but I get really bad anxiety about haircuts. You can blame my mom for that one - she had my hair chopped off boy short when I was in Kindergarten because she didn't want to deal with French braiding it for acrobat competitions every weekend...

WHY??????
Ever since then, I just really dread getting a hair cut, even if it's a trim. So this was a pretty big deal.
I decided that since I was planning on cutting a fairly significant amount anyway, I should look into donating my hair. I had Lieutenant Lovemuffin break out his measuring tape, and he showed me where nine inches was, the minimum amount required for donation (some places).
In the end, I had 12.5 inches cut off, and I sent my donation directly in to Wigs for Kids. I feel pretty good about my decision, and I had a huge weight (literally) lifted off of me.
- Have you ever donated your hair?
- What's the most you've ever cut off at once?
It looks good! I normally donate my hair every two years.
ReplyDeleteI love your hair, it looks great! I can't donate my hair because I color it.
ReplyDeleteI love your hair! I've donated my hair a couple of times but I can't donate anymore now that I dye it.
ReplyDeleteYou look great!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I have donated my hair a few years ago.

My parents gave me the same haircut all through elementary school. I still haven't forgiven them for it. I donate my hair every couple years. I just did it to Wigs for Kids for the first time! Yours looks great!
