My Locks of Love Donation

Biting the bullet for a good cause.

I'm pretty sure I originally got the idea from another blog I read at Joeuser months back. My hair has long since gotten out of control, as I haven't even had it trimmed in 9 months. Partly, this is because I don't have any ideas of what do to with it. Mostly, I'm too lazy and cheap. It's been easy to ignore because, like most guys, my boyfriend likes long hair and has encouraged me not to cut it.

But, the time has come - now that I have a good cause as incentive! So I've looked up participating salons on the Locks of Love webpage, and have left a message with the one closest to my house. I've got more than the recommended 10 inches, so I should be a good candidate. My hair is freakishly thick, hopefully they can use it for a couple of wigs. I just hope that the beautician can figure out what to do with it afterwards, because I still don't have any ideas...

Yay!  That is a great idea!  Being bald myself a couple times, I can only imagine the joy that these kids get when they get some hair!

Great cause to donate for and easy donation to do. You don't like the new haircut, it'll grow back and you can try something different.

Fantastic!  That was my blog!  My hair grew back pretty quickly but I enjoyed it bobbed off short for a while.  Doesn't it feel good knowing that you gave someone else some joy?!  You gave me some with this blog.


Best wishes.

Thanks everyone. I do feel good about the donation, and a new haircut is always fun. I've gotten mostly compliments, and my boyfriend really surprised me - he loves it!!
