For a while now, I have thought about cutting my hair and donating it to Locks of Love. Jacob had an appointment to get his hair cut yesterday, so I went with him. While there I asked Betsy where my hair would end if she cut it for Locks of Love. She showed me and I decided that I was ready to do it.
Here is the before picture:
Yes my hair did go past the cape!
Here is Betsy making the cut:
Here is the final length:
I do not remember what we agreed the number of inches to cut would be, but I measured the length cut off (yes I did keep a small lock of the cut portion to put in my journal!). We cut off 12 inches (or was it just over 11 and a half)!!!
For those of you that know me, this may seem to be cause for concern. Normally I would be going through withdrawal, but not this time. Mostly because it is still pretty long, and also because it is being donated to a great cause. I know many people who have cut their hair for this purpose, many are less than a third my age. I have liked the idea, and finally got myself to the point where I can handle the event. I know, I know, it really ought not be traumatic. I just really like long hair on myself.
WOW! Your hair was so long! Still is long, too…That’s really great that you donated it to Locks of Love! Way to go! 😀
YAY Marcia!!
You know even though you cut 12 inches off your hair is still longer than my hair has ever been in my entire life.
Great Job! I am sure someone out there will benifit greatly from your locks. I just talked to Jason about getting mine cut and he wasn’t too keen on it. Maybe in a few years when mine is long like your he won’t be so against it. Congrats on the anniversary too! Time flies!!
Way to go. Your hair still looks fabulous, AND now someone else will bennefit from a foot of beautiful, once-marcia’s hair.
