I have really long hair. Most people don't know this though because I ALWAYS keep it up in a clip. The other day my best friend said "Debbie I have no idea how long your hair is." This was in a conversation regarding our many hair styles. Actually her many hair styles. She changes hers up quite a bit. Not me. I haven't CUT my hair in awhile. I have had trims but not cuts. So Saturday I decided that it was time. I did a HUGE cut. And I did it for a good reason.
As you can see from the hair in this bag- I cut my hair. Yes-that is over 8 inches in length. I still have my hair to my shoulders if that gives you any indication of how long my hair was. I decided if I was going to cut my hair that I was going to do it for a cause. What I chose is on Pantene's website. It is for women that have cancer and with all the treatments, no hair. I hope my contribution will help someone somewhere. I am so proud to say that I have also inspired my daughter Shayne. She asked me after my hair appointment if she could do the same. I really do want her to have long hair. It is so pretty on little girls. BUT, how can I deny her the chance to help someone that she wants to help with something that is easy for her but not for someone else? So when her hair is long enough (which should only take a few more months) we will head to the hair salon. I will probably shed a few tears. For two reasons. One, my daughter will have short hair instead of the beautiful long hair she did have. And two, because she was kind enough to donate her hair to a person that needs it. How awesome is that?
Can't believe we did this on the same day...without even talking to one another. :)
