Donating Hair to a Good Cause

For the last six months my super-long hair has been getting matted and just a burden to take care of. Last spring, I asked a stylist how long it was and she said I only had a couple inches to go before I could donate it. Fast forward almost a year. I’ve been saying for a while now that I’m going to chop it – and two weeks ago I finally got the guts! I went to Cost Cutters and after learning that the hair was going to be donated, cut and styled my hair for free!

I’ve always considered giving my hair to Locks of Love because I thought they were the best place to donate to, until I got this message from a friend on Facebook:
Donate to Pantene Beautiful Lengths instead. http://www.squidoo.com/locksofloveMon at 9:53pm ·
So I checked out the link she sent me. The article sure makes LOL look bad. Since the weather’s been below freezing here, I haven’t left the house to send my hair. I’m going to address it to Pantene instead. I guess there are shady people everywhere, even in the hair donation business. If you’re interested in learning more about Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths program visit their hair donating requirements site.
I suppose after all this reading you want to see exactly what I did to my hair, right? 
The choppy NOT "matronly" look...
Happy new haircut (and new brows)!
You’re braver than I am! I’ve had long hair since childhood, and though I totally respect everyone who donates, I just could never chop my hair
