Locks of Love
Well I went to get my hair cut and I am terrible with measurements. I am always under so if I say I want 1 inch cut off I really wanted 3. I talked about probably getting 5 inches of hair off. I showed my hairstylist the length I wanted it to be and she said are you sure? Which I expected and I said yes. She said okay. So she brushes through all my hair and then get a ruler out and she tells me that is almost 8 1/2 inches. We discussed locks of love right away and said they needed 10 inches. And so I said, "do it...make it 10." Master wasn't with me but I knew he wouldn't mind because the length of my hair would fall into the range he likes. So now I have hair barely past my shoulders... where this morning it had been almost hip level.
I am happy I made the donation it is a great cause. Master's neice had cancer 2 years ago and had hair my length (this morning) that she lost. And so I thought of her when she got her wig. It is still kind of strange looking in the mirror but it does feel so much lighter and I know I will like it in a few days of getting used to it. It was great to sit down and not have to pull my hair out because usually I sit back in the car or a chair and my head gets pulled back because my hair is being tugged on by the back of the chair/seat. So that was great. I think I like it. I think I will like it more in a few days though. And as I said the thing that I like the most is that I could give to Locks of Love and help out someone like Master's niece.

I sware I thought locks of love didn't take dyed hair? And I thought you died your hair?
ReplyDeleteDo I have one of those wrong? I have really long hair and have always wanted to do it, but because I dyed it I didn't think it was possible. Anyway, it's great that you did that!
that is wonderful girlie! you've been on my mind a lot lately. I love you!
ReplyDeletetulsa, I do usually have my hair dyed, but I haven't in a very long time. My hairstylist said she felt they would take it.
ReplyDeletenuala, been thinking of you too! *hugs* I love you too!
I've been growing my hair out for almost 3 years now. I plan on donating it to Locks of Love next summer in honour of my mom who is a breast cancer survivor.
