Sorry it took a while to get the pictures. I donated 15 inches to locks of love. Everyone in the salon got really excited for me and made it this great positive experience. It did feel weird to hold the braid, like holding a part of yourself. I haven't shed a tear yet but I must admit I do kind of miss it. The stylist added some "warmth" to my base color (looks like red to me), it is nice looking a bit more like the kids. I know the cut looks a little boring but it still feels pretty drastic to me. (I really liked it until I showered and had to do it myself, Lissy had to come over to rescue me from the triangle mushroom I created.) The verdict so far has been all positive with exception from Noah. He cried for an hour and kept saying "go back and put your hair back on." Ah, I guess you really can't please everyone.

15in!! liberating, isn't it? do you wonder about the next life of your hair or the next life it will be part of? like donating an organ while still living. I love it! guess I'll just keep giving blood.
[Darcie had it right - fresh but you]
Yay Laura! LOVE your hair! It's so cute. To bad I wasn't there a week later so I could see it in person. You look great, but I love Noah's reaction to it! And it's not the same as Jo cutting her hair. Glad to see your blog.
