After growing my hair out for the last 5 years I took the plunge and chopped off 9 inches for Children With Hair Loss (CWHL). My hair had never been as long as it was yesterday at 3:00 before my appointment. I grew it long partly for my wedding, and as it's almost our one year anniversary I figured it was time to cut it. After finding an organization that took color treated hair with an 8 inch minimum I started hunting for the perfect new cut.
Yes of course it was scary and I had grown a little attached to my long do. But it was to the point that it would take me 10 minutes to just comb my hair out - ridiculous.
It's easy to donate your hair to Children With Hair Loss. Make sure your hair falls within their requirements, print the form, and head to your stylist to have it cut. After you mail your hair in they will send you back a certificate for your kindness. CWHL donates to over 300 children every year.
Knowing that a child will be given a wig with part of my contribution, and have a little more self confidence to tackle the world after an illness is what pushed me to go for it. If you are considering a major hair change keep Children With Hair Loss in mind.

That is so nice of you to donate your hair! I like your new shorter hair more than your longer look. It really fits your face great!
