I used to have down-to-my butt long hair, mostly just because I don't like going to salons and having people fuss over me or having to make awkward small talk with the stylist. But I finally got sick of it and cut the darn thing off myself--I think my ponytail was 24". It was a capital-L Liberating experience. :)Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426854940221973070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992744093231855633.post-11105371650223513752008-04-26T19:55:00.000-07:002008-04-26T19:55:00.000-07:00When I got my hair cut.

Woo-hoo! <BR/>I didn't cry when the scissors went through, although I had about a quarter second doubt...but by then it was too late. Now, I love it! I do feel a bit light-headed, and my neck is a little sore from flipping my newly short hair back and forth. I'm having way too much fun with it. And it's soooooooo much easier to take care of, plus the cats don't swing like little meow monkeys on my braids anymore. I think they may miss it more than me.<BR/><BR/>And Jen, you'll still be able to recognize me. My hair may be shorter, but my rear end is the same size! ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04576743533617299665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992744093231855633.post-19656366905517330422008-04-22T17:53:00.000-07:002008-04-22T17:53:00.000-07:00I have never had hair long enough to donate upon c...I have never had hair long enough to donate upon cutting, but locks of love is where I would.

Mine's fine but thick and if it gets any length at all, it's like sitting in a briar bush peeking around knots and tangles when the wind blows. You're mighty brave to do it yourself, though. May the best charity win! 'Course how can you have a "best" when it's charity?

Helpful aren't I? I've never donated mine, because the one and only time it might have been long enough either there wasn't a Locks or I didn't know about it. Since then I haven't managed to let it grow long enough before going after it with scissors. Have fun making your choice. <BR/>Nita <BR/>http://roadtoscholarships.wordpress.comNitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13902678906435117116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992744093231855633.post-30054354751588659512008-04-16T18:54:00.000-07:002008-04-16T18:54:00.000-07:00Oh.My.Goodness!!I can't say that I blame you one b...Oh.<BR/><BR/>My.<BR/><BR/>Goodness!!<BR/><BR/>I can't say that I blame you one bit for cutting it, but Oh My Gosh!!

My sister has very thick, long hair as well and my daughter (7) wants to grow hers very, very long too. It is hard with her to convince her to keep it BRUSHED. lol She has fine hair like mine so the longer it gets the harder it is to manage. Even just below her shoulders a flick of her head tangles it in knots and for some reason it just won't stay up.<BR/><BR/>How does it feel to have lost so much? I imagine it would feel a little like a lost limb. The ghost of your hair is still there. Then again, there would be a great relief off your neck. Lighter, freer.<BR/><BR/>My sister recently had her long hair layered. It's still as long as it was before but she rejoiced in how much lighter and more managable it was.Rebecca Laffar-Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085299881243825229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992744093231855633.post-72581817056929054382008-04-16T11:02:00.000-07:002008-04-16T11:02:00.000-07:00I always donate mine to Locks, but that's only bec...I always donate mine to Locks, but that's only because I didn't know about the Pantene one until I saw it on Oprah recently. :) So, I'd be torn as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05752504199556834991noreply@blogger.com
