Oh my God! its all gone!

Recommended Posts

My hair! Earlier today I sat down in a salon chair and had a little over 12 inches of my hair cut off. When I walked in,my hair was just above my waist and now its chin-length. :o

Several weeks ago, some of the girls started talking about a charity called Locks of Love. This is a nonprofit organization that makes prosthetic hair pieces for under privileged children with long term medically related hair loss. So I decided to donate.I've never had my hair above my shoulders until today. I guess I'm still in shock but I hope I'll get used to it (or it will grow back quickly if I dont get used to it). I'm just glad I can contribute to such a worthy cause even though I can't afford an actual monetary donation.:$

If anyone wants to know more about this charity, they can go to Locks of Love

I think that's AWESOME! I've done that a number of times, my hair tends to grow quite fast. Post a picture...I wanna see, I wanna see! In my experiences when getting my long hair cut to something extremely drastically short, it has to kinda grow on me. Give it a couple of weeks or so. Kudos to YOU for your donation!B|

Your contribution is worth Much More than a monetary contribution. Although money can help facilitate research, children can't wear dollar bills on their heads. My goal is to donate my hair to Locks of Love too. You Kick Ass Amber B|

Amber, tbat is soooo cool what you did.
My daughter keeps having me measure her hair. She's not wanting Chin length when she gets it cut... but just touching her shoulders. She has about 2" to go and she can donate too :)
OH!! how pretty!!!!

Cool!

I sent 13" to Locks of Love last month. I held on to it for a while to take a photo holding my cut-off ponytail, but i lost the cameras in the fire so I just gave up and mailed the hair. no photos.

That is a very cool thing you have done!

peace

LOL well it is still a good length,but remember that this is new to me.When I woke up this morning it was almost at my waist!I've had long hair for 21 years. Grow your hair out long enough to cut 12inches off and see how attached you get to it.:P

Its weird though b/c its so much lighter,fluffier (is that a word?) and has more body to it.It was so long before that it weighed it down and looked thin and stringy.Now it has a mind of its own and does this little flippy thing and part of it curls in around my face and the rest flips out in the back.Crazy but kinda cute.

..oh and I use several different types of conditioner just depending on my whims..mostly Paul Mitchell but I like Infusium23 leave-in (spray) conditioner or Dove weightless moisturizer since you just have to know.:P

Amber you rock, what a great thing to do! Think of how big the smile is gonna be on the child who is able to benefit from your generosity...as for the money...money can buy a lot of things, but it can't buy happiness....

I cut my lonnng hair back awhile ago and donatied it...it was so short i couldn't even pull it into a pony tail...at first i was like omg what did i do, but it grew on me (literally, hehe);)

That is wonderful! Very sweet of you.

You will get used to it. Short, bouncy hair is nice and less of a hassle. :)
I looked at the website, they want hair at least 10" in length. I don't have that much yet....but if my hair gets really long I will donate it as well.

Right on, Amber! You're such a thoughtful soul. Now, the only other thing I have to say is...PICS! Please? I'll bet it's REALLY cute. B|

Edited to add: Uh, those pics, farther down the thread, yeah, those. REALLY cute. B|

If you'll notice I said it was just above my waist.Before I cut it,my hair stopped about 4 inches above my waist. And it was layered when it was cut,so the front is chin length, but the back stops at my shirt collar. They measured 12inches,pulled it into a ponytail and cut just above the hair tie.Afterwards they trimmed and layered it into the style that was chosen.So obviously logic would show it is not a foot from waist to chin.

Eek. Didnt mean to make you defensive. I had no idea how your hair was cut or layered. And having worked as a carpenter i dont normally assume "just above" to be in the range of 4 inches. but now that you have explained it, it makes sense. Thank you :):)
