The Haircut

So about every 2 and half years or so, I cut about 10-12 inches of my hair off and donate it to Locks of Love. They make wigs from the hair for kids who have lost their hair due to an illness. I believe it is a very worthy cause and I'm glad that I can contribute. This time, however, I had intended to hold out until after Megan and Philip's wedding but I just couldn't do it. Long hair is so much work to maintain and it is really heavy. In the shower, I had to comb out all the knots with the conditioner and a strong pick. Putting my hair up in a ponytail or a bun felt like it was adding 5 lbs to my head. So all that to say I gave in and what was supposed to be a trim turned into the chop. So here are some before and after photos.
