I'm so proud of my middle daughter. Last night she decided she wanted to cut her hair and donate it to Locks of Love. Now, I've been bugging her for quite some time to cut it, but she's stubborn and resistant to change. I took her in this afternoon and she got it cut. The hairdresser went a little shorter than she wanted (took off over 15" instead of 11"), but she LOVES it. Maybe now she'll keep it this length. (long hair is pretty, but so much work) Before:   Deciding how short:  The First Cut:  No turning back:  After:   The Donation:  |

I'd be SO proud of her! That couldn't have been easy. And she looks stunning with her new haircut!

That's awesome! One of my Daughters did that a few years ago. Locks Of Love sends out a Thank You card.

This is such an amazing gift for a kid to give to someone who has lost so much. She looks very pretty with her new cut, she is beaming.

Good for her: I'm sure it will be greatly appreciated by some people in need. Also, in both cases when my sisters decided they no longer wanted waist-length hair, they never grew it long again, enjoying the reduced time dealing with it every day, faster drying time, and so on. (I've also heard of women with long hair finding they got fewer head-/neck-aches after going short.) PS: She looks like a nice young lady. |

Thanks everybody. This is a really big deal for her. She's only gotten 2 haircuts in the last 7 years. Apparently, I traumatized her by keeping her hair chin length until she was 6. She has really thick, heavy hair and such a tiny face that long hair has always been overwhelming and a huge pain to deal with.
Saying she's resistant to change is a huge understatement.
I did tell her you're all proud of her. She says thank you!

How wonderful of her! My daughter did the same, but she was 19 and it was her first haircut ever (excluding trims), so I know how proud you are!

Verily, your daughter did a fine thing. My own daughter #2 did that at about age 30 (her hair had been cut before but it was still long). She ended up with hair shorter than your daughter, but.... OK; I'm a guy, all right? I may have a different perspective on women's hair. I think your daughter looks even cuter with her new hair. And she did a wonderful thing for someone else, too. Good for her!

She is cute in her new haircut! That is such a kind thing she did..... a brave! Hair can be quite an emotional item to part with.

What a wonderful thing your daughter did. Darling girl, cute haircut and just in time for her DC outing today. Off topic – Heather, your brownies with cookie toppings are wonderful. I'm planning to have them on Easter. |

I'm planning to have them on Easter. It's funny you mention the brownies in this thread. Ashy is the one that found the recipe and made them. Enjoy them! |
