Hairshares Adventure!

HAIRSHARES!

I was so lucky to have stumbled across nepd's hairshares post (← that's it right there) about donating ponytails to organizations that make them into wigs.

I had done this once before, about 8 or 9 years ago, and loved it. My aunts and uncle have volunteered at a summer camp for children with cancer for as long as I've been alive, and one of my aunts was head nurse on a children's oncology word; so I know how much one wig can impact a person's life.

I'm also the type of person who thoroughly enjoys doing crazy things. So obviously I couldn't just cut off my ponytail - I had to go all the way. And I love it so much! Again!

Sorry about the date... got a little ahead of myself there.
And I only had one color blue.

The first cut. Ooooh, I've done it now. Gotta keep going.

I honestly thought about leaving it like this for a day just to see people's reactions.

Or putting makeup on one half of my face and a little mustache on the other.

But in the end, the clippers prevailed.

Yes, I shaved a bit too close in a few spots... It'll grow back.
Anyone remember Dumbo?

Thank you @nepd for creating Hairshares!

I'm rockin' my new "summer cut."

My ponytail is bagged up and ready to be sent out to Locks of Love on Monday.

Take that chemo!

Beautiful helpful charity.

But, oh my word! Such a huge thing to do. How long will it take to grow back?

[lenadr]

Well, my hair is already five days longer than it was when I took those pictures! Haha. Maybe a year or a year and a half. But I'm going to keep it shaved for a little while. I love it like this.
