LOCKS OF LOVE (Formally Planning to cut your LONG hair following the wedding?) Short Haircut Advice Needed!
Original post by Valenia
Hello ladies, I was planning to give my hair a bit of a post-wedding shortening, and heard about this wonderful organization called 'Locks of Love'.
I've got to grow one more inch, and then I'll be able to donate 10' which is the minimum. Anyone want to join me? I've always had long hair, and never cut off more then 4' at a time, so this is going to be quite tramatic! But what great motivation!
Here is the description from their web site: Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children across the U.S. under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss. We meet a unique need for children throughout the United States by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.

Well, its done! I just got my hair all cut off. I intended to cut 10 inches exactly, which would have had the hair about halfway between my shoulders and chin. The stylist I went to got a bit over excited and cut off 12.5 inches. So my hair is very short now. Oh my! Well my husband thinks its adorable. I'm still getting over the shock. LOL. I'll say one thing, it feels great to have short hair, I'm going to love this for the summer!!! And I'm glad to know that some little girl with have hair thats 12.5 inches instead of just 10!

My daughter cut her waist length hair and donated it to Locks of Love also. I think this is such a wonderful and generous act for anyone to do!! I applaud you on your selflessness.

When my niece was just 12 years old she read about this & cut her hair that had been only trimmed since she was a young girl. she gave the 22 inches of hair!! It made me very proud!!
