So last Friday I chopped my hair off. This is something I have decided to do about every five years or so. The first time I did it was after BSC and I got married. I'd been growing my hair for a while and knew I wanted to cut it after the wedding. Through some searching online I found Locks of Love and knew it was something I had to do. So about two months after our wedding I donated a 10" long ponytail, the minimum length required to donate.
This time my ponytail was 13" long (when it's straight). Yes, I said I cut off 17". The remaining four inches was swept off the floor of the salon (they had to leave a bit of length in order to cut my hair into a style).
I plan to keep doing this for as long as I can. It's something I feel like I can do to help people in need that doesn't take any time or money on my part (neither of which I have much to spare).
So, here are the before pictures:And now the afters:

Your hair is cute, cute, cute!! I love it! You are so brave to cut off that much. Locks of Love is such a cool thing...one of my first graders donated her long red hair! I'm sure you're loving the faster drying time! Hope you had a great birthday...even if their not quite like they used to be:)
WAY CUTE! Love the cut! And what a great cause!!
Your hair looks Great! My aunt was a recipient of a locks of love wig when she was going through chemo for her breast cancer so it's always special to know someone who donates to such a worthy cause.
