Hey guys, remember all this?
Well guess what? It’s gone!
Hooray! And if you’re wondering why I am in my apartment holding my former hair, it’s because I donated it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, which makes wigs for adult women with cancer (and only requires 8 inches of hair, unlike some other charities that accept donations, some of which require 12 inches or more). I have to say, taking care of that long hair was a challenge and a pain, but it was totally worth it to know that I get to contribute to helping someone going through the experience of cancer. Hair is important, you know?
Also, while my ponytail is 10 1/2 inches long, it’s only maybe one inch thick. (This is all the hair from all the way around my head! Seriously. I have some fine hair.) No wonder it takes at least six ponytails to make one wig.
If you have long hair and are ready for a change, you should totally consider donating. Here’s a great site with information about various donation options. Anyone can donate hair — men, women, old, young, curly hair, straight hair… they take it all and it can really make a difference!
