If you've known me for very long, you know that I have twice before chopped my hair to donate - once to Locks of Love and once to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. The first time was in 2005 and was super successful in that it helped me snag my husband. I did it again in 2009 and again today. I've been letting it grow for 3 years, with a few cuts here and there, but it is definitely the longest it has ever been. I'll be donating my hair to the Little Princess Trust who will use it to make wigs for kids who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments. Here are a few before and after pictures from today.
Little Princess Trust requires 7 inches of hair. My ponytail is on a sheet of A4 paper that is just under 12 inches long. I cut off a foot of hair! |
Hopefully I'll be able to replicate Jose's finished product when I have to do this on my own tomorrow.
And as of today, I'll start growing it out again to donate a few years from now. If you have long hair you should definitely jump on this bandwagon. It's easy, doesn't cost anything (other than postage) and it grows back.
And I'd love to hear what you think.
Love you & miss you,
Aubs
P.S. Sorry for the poor quality pics. Self photos in the mirror are not my forte.
P.P.S. Is it weird that I prefer pictures of myself when taken in a mirror? Other pictures always look backwards to me, but this is how I see myself everyday!
