Two Pounds of Hair, Another Donation

Right before donating my hair

I have been donating my hairs for years.  I did it in the Fall of 2008, January of 2011, April 2013 and my most recent was last month - February of 2016.  After I get it cut it always feels so much lighter so this time I decided to weigh it.  After cutting off 17 inches of hair, I was officially 2 lbs lighter.

I really do prefer my hair long but I love the low maintenance aspect of my short hair right now.  I needed something easier and I always feel like it is a great cause so a total win-win.  I broke the 100 mark this time bringing my grand total to 104 inches!  The hairdresser had to put my hair in 4 ponytails before she could cut it because I have the thickest hair in the world (or so I am told). 

And the after!

Another Cut, Another Donation

Remember in January 2011 when I did something big?  I had done it in the Fall of 2008 as well!  And a few times before that.  Last night I brought my grand total to 87 inches!  Yep, I chopped off my hair!  If you know me, this is pretty old hat.  I like to grow my hair out long and then eventually donate it.  And once again, my hairdresser told me that I have the thickest hair she has ever seen - in her life.  I now expect that from hairdressers when I go!  Wouldn't you?

 Getting my hair chopped!

So much lighter.

I like it already.  It is still long enough to pull back in a pony tail yet definitely a change from before.  What do you think?
