Hair Today...Gone Tomorrow!!

So I know that this is totally cliche.. Get married and cut your hair...But to be honest when I started growing my hair out 2 years ago I never planned on keeping it forever.. In fact, the original plan was to donate as soon as I had the 8 inches required.. (this is just a view from the front.. don't mind the scrounge outfit)
Soooo....

(Don't you love my self portraits? I had to make do with the hubby already gone for the day)

I made an appointment with Jen my Hair Stylist (who does a fabulous job by-the-way)

( Please note these pictures were taken after a LONG day at work so please excuse my somewhat tired face)
vwah-lah...
I am sure my high school crew are having flashbacks of all my high school years right now..

It's just what I wanted and all the gross hair on the ends is gone and I have healthy, shiny hair once again!! What do you think of it?!?

Besides having had quite a few people who are close to me suffer from cancer and lose their hair-I thought it was the least I could do to give my hair for someone's wig!!
FYI: Locks of Love charges for their wigs so if anyone is considering donating their hair I would research for an organization that donates their wigs.. there are plenty of them out there!:)

Don't worry sister, it's not cliche! You look darling with it shorter and I think it's way cool that you donated your hair. I've always liked you with a little bit shorter hair! Plus, you can still put it in a ponytail-hehehe

Sometimes chopping the hair off just feels so dang good. Now, I'm growing mine back out! But, I loved how healthy it felt. You two look awesome in your pictures. Congratulations. Does your photographer have a web site? She really did a great job. We need to get some family pictures done soon.
