Chris and I just got back home from San
Francisco yesterday. It was a super fun trip and I
will post all about it asap. But the night before we left town I had a hair appointment
and decided to bite the bullet and donate my hair!
I have been thinking about donating my hair for a long time
but never had the guts to do it. Frankly and selfishly, I love my hair. It is so unique and a beautiful shade of
amber (never colored/highlighted). After
getting some information from friends and doing a bit of research, it came down
to Locks of Love/ Pantene Beautiful Lengths/ Wigs for Kids. They all looked like great
organizations. Wigs for Kids the
donation had to be over 12 inches long, I didn’t think I would have that
much.
I booked an appointment at the downtown salon, Avant. They assured me that they had worked with
people donating hair before and had all the information ready for Locks of
Love. In the end, I did go with Locks of
Love and sent in 11 inches! The photo of me holding up the cut off pony was
only 1 of 4 sections of hair I sent in! I have some pretty thick hair, my
hairdresser said she was amazed at how much hair I still had after chopping of
11 inches!
So far I have been loving my short hair! It is fun to change
things up every now and then. I did have
a mini meltdown one evening—I have been so used to being able to toss my hair
up into a bun/braid/high pony—and after all day on a bus tour of San Fran my
hair was a mess. We had to rush to get
ready for dinner and I was so frustrated that I didn’t know how to do my hair!
Like what? We ended up pushing dinner back a bit and I quickly curled my hair
and pinned half of it up. Overall though it has been a great time and
shampoo saving chop! I’m excited to get some time to play around with short hair
for once.
I hope that if some redhead out there one day needs a wig
during a scary time, the wig that my hair helps make will give them a bit of comfort
and peace.

DONATE HAIR: CHECK!!
Much Love,
