Donated my hair

Has anyone else done this?

Yesterday, after having long hair for 5+ years, I had it cut short and donated at least 11" worth of hair to Locks of Love. It's weird having short hair again, but it certainly brings a smile to my face, knowing that a kid with alopecia areata will be able to benefit from it.

So maybe, instead of spending $30+ on getting your long hair styled, you might want to consider doing this... Hair grows back anyway, and you'll be able to help someone in the process. 🙂

I know a majority of ATOT posters are men/boys, but I'm sure you guys can spread the word to your loved ones, or SO's and try to get them to consider this. Here're a list of salons that participate: http://db.locksoflove.org/salonlist.php


Have a great weekend! 🙂
 
DOH. While I know it's a good cause, cutting long beautiful hair makes baby FFM cry 🙁

:brokenheart:

It's okay, though, I guess. It IS a good cause and you're still beautiful. 🙂
 
Do you think they'd want some nasty, cockroach infested, locks of lice. I'm sure I can steal some from the drunk that's passed out in front of the hospital loading docks next door.

I actually prefer shorter hair on females.

Still, it's a great cause.

Make sure it's at least 10 inches. That's the minimum they'll take. 🙂


Silly Nik. It'll grow back. 😉

How long is 10 inches exactly??? For some reason no one believes me when I show them how long it is...they always seem to think it's longer. Maybe I shouldn't be the one doing the harvesting.
 
my sister is planning on donating some of her hair. i think she's growing it out to donate the 10".

How short did you cut it?

My hair was up to the middle of my torso before I had it cut to just touching my shoulder. It's a HUGE difference, esp. for people who haven't seen me with short hair. This is me with my hair long (actually, it was longer than that yesterday since that pic was taken in Nov '04Nov '04) -- I'll try to post another with my short hair after the weekend.

If you know anyone with long hair, tell them about this option! 🙂

Use a ruler or bring a tape measure. 🙂

Yup! I know quite a few number of people who take hair for granted, and this is a great way to open their eyes and hearts.
