Locks of Love

I've donated my hair to Locks of Love twice before.  Locks of Love is an organization accepting donations of hair (it used to be 10 inches minimum, not sure if it's still the same) to make wigs for people with going through chemo and losing their hair.  Awesome organization!  Today, I decided to chop my locks once again and donate them.  It was incredibly scary, but almost exhilarating, like shedding a skin.  I went to Sole Salon in Emeryville (it's an Aveda salon) and they are awesome!  Today I had a lovely hairdresser named Sophia and she was fabulous!  She was so game not only to cut my hair, but to take tons of pictures for the blog.  Thanks Sophia!

Here's the before:
And here's after she cut it:
Ahh!!  Where'd it all go??  The reason the ends are longer is because I got a slight bob situation. Here's the donation:
Someone's getting a lot of locks of love!  Here's the mess I made:
It's everywhere!!!
 Anyway, here's the final result:
Man, I look tired!  So, she did a layered, slightly bobbed thing with some bangs, then she styled it with a beachy curl.  The curl is starting to come out already:
It's definitely gonna take a lot of getting used to, but it'll be easier to take care of on the road and now someone else can have a head full of hair as well.  It's a win-win!
If you can, donate to Locks of Love!  Also, if you're getting a haircut, go to Sophia at Sole Salon (it was only $55).
OMG I just cut all my hair off!  AAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
