And yes I've been holding it in for awhile on purpose haha :)
I have Always wanted to grow my hair out long enough to donate it, and so for the past SEVERAL years that is what I have been doing. I knew it was probably long enough awhile back but I wanted to keep growing it so my cut wouldn't be super short. I have also been having a race with my nieces to see who can grow their hair the longest for the past two summers. I would always win but they didn't want me to cut it (and neither did I).
But while showering one day washing my hair, I had it all wadded up on the top of my head scrubbing it clean, then when I let go of it, it was so heavy and long, it jerked me head back, LOL. It was then that I decided it was time to cut it.
After that I started looking for a cute hair cut idea to give to my hair stylist. Mike and I agreed on one that wasn't too short and still cute and simple enough to cut and do every day. I showed my hair stylist and she loved it! :)
Everyone kept asking when and if I was going to get it cut. I kept procrastinating. Everyone also kept telling me; not to cut it, that I was going to regret it and miss it. Yes that is all true but I never get to see my long hair because it's always up for work, and then it gets too hot in the summer that I always wear it up...so I decided it was time. AND my hair grows fairly fast, so I'm not too worried.
Melissa-my wonderful hairstylist-kept asking when I was going to cut it, but I kept saying "Oh I don't know..." Finally one day last week she said "ok I put you in the schedule for Saturday at 1pm" I hesitated and said "OOOOkaaayyyy". I was a good girl and showed up to my appointment at the salon..
no tears were shed, but almost. I love my new hair cut! Thanks Melissa! :)
Some young girl somewhere is going to be very happy, grateful, and thankful for my hair!! If feels to good to donate my hair to such a wonderful cause! :)
The last time I had short hair?? ....well.... I don't even remember! Maybe like 9th grade, so about 12 years ago or so....
And so it begins....

Because my hair is so thick she had to put it in four smaller pony tails to cut it.

Any guesses how long it is?!
