Haircut?

[kevyn]

So I'm debating buzzing off my hair and donating it to Wigs for Kids, or Locks of Love, or another one of those hair donation organizations. I've read some criticism on Locks of Love, that most hair donated gets sold commercially instead of being given to kids, and the money used to fund hair systems for kids with permanent hair loss, like from alopecia, while Wigs for Kids gives to all kids, including cancer survivors with short-term hair loss.

Anyone have any experience with either organization, or know anything I need to know before making my choice?

Well, how long did it take you to grow in your hair as it is now? I'm all for charity, but I'm curious as to what is inspiring you to do this?

About 4 years, give or take. I haven't cut it since after my last hospitalization. I'm kind of getting tired of it, it gets in the way, and I don't take great care of it. Plus I find hairs everywhere. I don't like wearing it in a pony tail. I was already thinking of donating it.

Then this week, my DVR counselor gave me a push. And she gave me homework: get my hair trimmed, in order to be more employable. Heck, why not go to the extreme? I need a change, and my hair grows out fast enough.

As soon as I can find some clippers to borrow, I'm going Uncle Fester.
