Donation Day! Locks of Love
First off, I really need to say I feel better about doing this then should be allowed.
I am grinning ear-to-ear knowing I might help someone out just a little bit by donating my hair.
How much easier could it be?
Grow you hair.
Cut it.
Mail it in.
I do need to say THANK YOU to a few people.
To MOM for giving me some good hair growing genes.
Her hair grows crazy fast too.
(thanks mom!)
And to all my
friends on facebook
for helping me pick a new style.
Sorry I sorta~kinda wasted your time
looking at all those cute styles.
I really had no idea just how long my hair had actually gotten.
Seeing a picture of my hair from the back
did not compute
and when she measured it out to a full 12 inches…
I still had lots left.
We discussed donating more hair
but decided to do the 12″ for now…
but decided to do the 12″ for now…
because I can donate again!!
And even sooner since I have a good head start.
(I should be able to do this again in 12-14 months)
This was my favorite.
I debated just going for it!
This was a close second!
This was my third fav…
So sassy!
Here I am at the salon this afternoon!
And finally… THIS is the cut we decided on.
It’s HARD to take a picture of yourself!
This is the BEST I could do.
She cut lots of layers and it feels all bouncy.
I really like it!
I could not get a decent picture to save my life though…
I know… it’s not that short!
Hope it’s not too big of a let down…
But like I said, I can donate again.
My choices were:
Go shockingly short for impact.
or
Donate again soon.
I had to go for the donation.
I teased my gal after she cut my hair off
and asked her if she did extensions?
I told her I wanted to use my own hair.

I’m really not all that nice you know…
I am actually quite a stinker.

Avevo i capelli lunghi come i tuoi fino ad un mese fà…..
Li ho tagliati fino a metà schiena o poco meno…..
Non sapevo che si potessero donare!!
Complimenti!!
Un bacio dall’Italia
Sabry!!

Inspire Me Heather says
Hello beautiful! Congratulations on doing it – yay!!! I do like the length that you’ve got it cut too, it looks great on you!
Gina says
Oh my goodness! You did it! It looks beautiful, Shan, really beautiful! I can’t believe you donated 12 inches and still have long hair!
Heidi @ Decor & More says
I’ve been offline for the most part this week, Shannon, but had to pop in to congratulate you on this act of love. Someone’s life will be fuller because of your generosity.
Beautiful. 🙂

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
I think you went a good way, Shannon! I love those sassy cuts, too, but 9 times out of 10, I would never get it to look that way after doing it myself at home. That’s great your hair grows so fast and, you’re right, you can donate again in a year.
Sweet Melanie says
I LOVE it! You did great and being able to donate again sooner rather than later is so nice! 12 inches is still A LOT of hair to be cut off and for someone to have. It looks beautiful Shannon!
keri @ shaken together says
Awesome & inspiring … and you get to donate again sooner!!
Sharon @ mrshinesclass says
