Gone, gone gone... my hair that is! The time finally came to go from
to
!!!!!!
I just sucked it up and did it. Someone with Locks of Love will be receiving 15 inches of hair soon. My hair has literally never ever been this short. E.V.E.R. And I love it!
I truly never thought I'd have the guts to make the chop, but I am so glad i did. Today I am at least. Its still brand new, so who knows what I'll think in a few weeks when I have to be in a bathing suit in public and there is no long hair to divert the eyes from the one two many other bodily curves... weird logic I know. But, it totally makes sense to me.
For years, my hair has been my pride. It was always the one thing about myself that I liked and felt good about. It has primarily been long most of my life, so its still a shock when I pass by a mirror. I have always wanted to donate my hair, and I finally decided that if I didn't do it now, I never would. On a whim, I called a really popular salon in town Monday afternoon thinking maybe I could get an appointment by August (giving me extra time in case I chickened out). Well, the receptionist told me they had a cancellation for Tuesday night. Shoot. Well, ok. So, last night I went terrified and couldn't have been happier with my beautician. Gabby, a young and super talented girl knew exactly what would work on me. Since I had never cut it this short, I didn't have a freakin' clue what to do. I showed her a few pictures and she just went at it. All. Fifteen. Inches!! Chop. Chop. Chop.
This is the first time I've felt air on my neck. I think I was more nervous of how Cheyanne would react when I came home with no hair than about how I'd look at the end. She only seemed to notice it at bed time when she normally plays with it. It confused her a little but thankfully that didn't last too long. She seems to love the change too.
What do you think?! I think it was a necessity after the Giant called me a
Duggar. That can never be good.
