And, such beautiful hair!

My wife did that this year. She was so cute about it but first, a little shy over the short hair.

A thank you card came in the mail - I opened it, not knowing what it was. When I gave it to DW, she was so pleased.

Days later, I found the thank you card tucked between the cushions on the love seat. She looks at it often and obviously doesn't want to throw it away . . .

It is a very personal gift, Vfem. We should all be thankful that you have been so generous (and cute ;)). Now, smile!

Steve :)

You guys are the sweetest! :D

I was just so nervous about having short hair... but it still felt so good. I really hope to do it again someday.

I doubt I'll get a thank you note or anything, but I don't need any of that. I sent it in through Great Clips.

Either way, I wanted other to know they can go do it too. (Even you Joe) and you don't have to give a lot either. Locks for Love only wants 10" minimum and Pantene does Beautiful Lengths and only asks for 7" minimum. L4L will go to kids only... broke my heart so I chose that one... because these kids aren't only going through chemo, some have 3rd degree burns and will never grow hair back! Pantene is exclusively for Women with Breast Cancer going through Chemo. Mostly women who can't afford even the treatments.

Plenty of choices out there... there are things other then time or money to give... which is good... because I had neither.

Thanks every1!

Good job! I am always trying to encourage my kids to find ways to help others.
This is a perfect example, you don't always need time or money.
I use to keep my hair longer, past my shoulders anyway and I was very nervous and self concious about cutting it too short whenever I got my haircut.
Then a couple of years ago my hairdresser talked me into going short, very short, to my chin.
I was in shock afterwards but everyone was raving about it to me about how much they loved it like that so now I keep my hair short all the time and I love it.
You will definitely get use to it and may prefer it, I love how easy my hair is to style when its short like this.

V You say I can donate also.
I would give a foot of my hair but it is not worthy.
I have very curly hair! Very! So it gets tangled and breaks off.
So my long hair is a collection of all different lengths of hair tied to keep under control.

Pic with hair down will show what I mean! I will take one soon and post. lol

I found one close for now!
