Hair Donation
I have been growing my hair since, well a long time. My hair actually grew to my pant line, the longest I think I have ever had it. It was so long. Long enough that I could tie it in a knot and it would stay up in a bun without an elastic. But really too long to manage.
So, after about 6 months of talking about it with Hadley, who had equally long hair, we were both ready to make a big cut and donate.
After much research I have decided to donate to Pantene Beautiful Lengths.
First, they only needed 8 inches in case Hadley only wanted the minimum.
Second they offer free wigs to women cancer patients. Free is huge for someone battling health issues. They don't need financial burden.
When we got to the salon they talked us both into 10 inches as that would ensure any dead ends would still allow for the 8 inch minimum. HOWEVER, when we got home and measured, they actually took 12 inches off of each of us, plus the extra inch they did to even it out after the initial cut.
While it is a bit shorter than I had envisioned, I know it is going to a good cause and it feels so healthy.
I can't wait to start showing Hadley how she can brush her own hair. Perhaps even a lesson on putting in her own pony tail will come soon. :)
When I asked Hadley how she felt about her hair cut, she said, she likes how it will be easier but she misses her long hair. No tears or anything, she has just always had long hair.
She and I are both happy that we can do something for a good cause.
