Haircut

I've been worrying about this for months and finally did it today...

I have gone back and forth by growing my hair out and cutting it off for years now. I guess I had heard of people donating their hair, but never thought of doing it myself. I don't know why I never considered doing it, I guess I had to have cancer hit home before I became aware of these things. I had been talking about it and letting my hair grow since this past Summer. I finally got it long enough to qualify (8 inches) and today was the day!

Please know that my only intention in posting about this is to bring awareness to this wonderful program. I wish I had been more aware and willing the last times I cut my hair. The Pantene Beautiful Lengths program has partnered with the American Cancer Society to provide wigs for cancer patients at no cost to the patient. We met a teenage cancer patient at Hannah's hospital and her wig looked so much like real hair that I caught myself staring at it (probably a little rudely). How important for these girls/ladies to be able to feel a little more normal while going through chemo treatments! And did you know that it takes several people's hair donations to make just one wig? Next time you are considering a haircut, please look into this great charity!

By the way... I have the best hairdresser in the world - thank you, Brittani!!
