Donate Your Hair

iloveyou by iloveyou Crawling(September 17th) (rank 500+)

As of about three weeks ago I had pretty long hair. Hair that i hadn't cut since I was in the fourth grade. I never did anything with it. Just threw it up in a pony. I hated it. I i finally got the courage up to cut it. I

always knew that if  I did I would donate it. There are a few websites to choose from.

I chose the second one. They require 10 inches of hair. Gathered in a ponytail. I sent it out yesterday. They will take the hair and weave it into a wig and it will go to some little girl or boy with Leukemia. I chose to send it to a girl.

I feel like a million bucks. I hope that hair makes her smile. It makes me all teary eyed when I think about it.

So ladies and some fellas, if your gonna do a drastic hair cut and you got at least ten inches.... DONATE YOUR HAIR. I mean why not your going to throw it away anyways right?

Make em smile!

"When children lose their hair, whether as a result of medical treatments, health conditions, or burn accidents, they don't just suffer physically. The change in their appearance can drastically undermine their self-image and sabotage their self-esteem."

Don't hesitate, to donate!

It is a good idea, espeicially if it means you don't have it floating around your rubbish bin after cutting it - that can be a nightmare.
