Locks of Love - my 3rd time donating my hair!
I'm a "Locks of Love" veteran now, for sure!
Yesterday, I donated another 12-inches of my hair to Locks of Love! ...and it feels GREAT! (No regrets!) It was easier this time...I didn't cry, not even one tear (which I can't say the same for 2005 and 2006, haha!) The little anxiety is so worth it for such a great cause as Locks of Love. I figure...how many natural redheads donate their hair? And how much of a difference would it have made in my life as a child if I had had medical hair loss? HUGE! So it means a lot to me to know I'm helping some little underpriveliged redheaded child out there. :-) And wow I have to admit I don't recognize myself in the mirror yet! I know you want to see pictures so here ya go! 1. Wow check out my long mess of hair! 2. Look how long it got in 2 years since my last haircut! 3. ...measuring 12 inches with a measuring tape... 4. ...feeling a little pouty...thinking about wussing out...lol... (more pictures, keep scrolling down)

4. This time we put it in 4 different ponytails to keep the layers even after the cut.

Your hair is so beautiful. I must say with shorter hair...you look so glamorous. Beautiful hair for a beautiful lady.

Aww!
 Thank you so much, Janet! I'm really excited about it. I am pretty sure that this is the shortest it's ever been. So far all my friends (even my boyfriend!) give it a very enthusiastic two thumbs up!

What a wonderful thing to do Val. You're so beautiful, long hair or short - it doesn't matter.

 And wow Haley, what a neat thing for a boy to do, especially in his dad's honor, that's great. Thanks for sharing the before and after pic & tell him I said congrats!

Wow your hair must grow really fast! I think it's awesome that you donate. During Relay for Life last weekend, there was a 9 year old little girl who said she had been doing the Relay for the last 3 years, and she went up on stage to get 8 inches of hair cut off. It was so touching I almost cried!
Anyways, it's a great cause and I'm proud of you for taking part! And I think you still look gorgeous with shorter hair!
