She Did it!.. Locks of Love

[cagnes]

That's wonderful, you have every right to be proud! Her that her new haircut is very pretty!

I did it too... See I had to grow my hair long for my brother's wedding... After the wedding I decided to let it grow longer and send to Locks Of Love...
Believe me when I say- that it's not easy taking care of long hair... Especially if you have thick hair...

And I'm just the opposite...  I wouldn't trade my long thick curly hair for any shorter do...  it's never been easier to take care of than it is now, since I've learned how.   When it's shorter, I need to use curling irons and hair dryers, etc....  Now it's just wash it occasionally and watch it spiral as it dries.  On a daily basis I just tussle it  and go....  on the days I wash it, I don't touch it all until it's dry and then I may put a clip or barrette in.  I wish I had learned to properly care for my hair years ago instead of fighting it.    (MANY thanks to NaturallyCurly.com, JessiCurl.com, and Lorraine Massey author of Curly Girl)

Luv, your daughter looks beautiful and that was so kind of her to donate to Locks of Love.  What a sweetie she is!

Not to mention that when you have a short cut, it has to be trimmed constantly to keep it in good shape, especially when it's not curly.   IMHO, long (or in my case, just medium-long) is much easier to take care of...  and I've tried short several times, and couldn't stand the daily fuss with a blow-dryer.

Aw Luv, what a sweet thing she did for someone in need! She is adorable and I hope she enjoys her new look.

She is still in love with her new cut and it has made our lives so much easier. 

I personally love it when she keeps her hair shorter. She's so tiny and all of that hair just overwhelms her. When she was little, I kept it in a chin length (or shorter) bob and she just looked adorable (Think Mara Wilson from Mrs. Doubtfire, Miracle on 34th Street). I just like to be able to see that pretty face of hers.

What a wonderful memory she has stored up to share one day with her own children.  She looks so cute with her new hairdo too.

She looks very nice with her new hair cut. That was a wonderful thing she did. It shows she has a big heart and great compassion. You have a very special young lady.
