Lopping off Her Locks of Love

My girl had her first major haircut a few weeks ago. At age 12! She cut off a foot and donated it to Locks of Love.

Going…

going…

Gone!

Her hair was so long that it’s still long after removing a foot, but it was a big step for her. She’d thought about it for a long time before cutting it. Of course, I sniffled a bit with the last snip, but the most shocking part is that after the hairdresser cut a few layers, her light blond hair was totally gone. It’s darker now.

Some little girl is going to get some beautiful hair to use while she recovers from chemo…

    Wow! I can’t believe how long her hair was! Some little girl is going to be sooo happy. My middle daughter is growing her hair out for Locks of Love as well. :)

    WOW! What beautiful hair, and , more importantly, what a beautiful child to do such a selfless thing. Giving up sucha personal part of yourself is such a loving and caring thing to do. Good for her.

    Give your daughter a hug for me! She did a *noble* deed for a worthy cause!!! :-) My daughters also donate their hair to Locks of Love. For those of you out there trimming your tresses for the summer months, consider donating your hair. It can be less than 12″, and would be greatly appreciated!!! :-)
