Short stuff

Eight years of infrequent hair cuts and minimal blow drying have finally paid off, and I've got these two skinny 10-inch pigtails to show for it. Special thanks to my friend Kati for inspiring me to grow my hair out for Locks of Love. Had I known how slowly my hair would grow, I might not have told her while we were in college that I'd do this. Now that I've done it, I'm glad...and am looking forward to doing it again, however long it takes.

I chickened out at the first salon I went to when the stylist threatened me with a layered bob. When I returned home with my hair still flowing down my back, Justin told me to go back, think about the bald kid that would get to wear my hair one day, and just do it. That was all the motivation I needed. The lady who cut my hair teared up when I told her what I was doing, and I shed a few tears myself when she made those cuts. I'm still getting used to the short hair, but I'm excited that I was finally able to do something I've wanted to do for so long for such a good cause. Got a few inches to spare?
