Birthday Goal

The last time i had my hair this long was probably 4th grade. i cut it real short when i turned 11, when i began swimming regularly. i kept my hair short (not longer than shoulder length) all the way till the end of college. Besides swimming, the other reason why i kept it short was because i always had a lot of hair, and it was easier for maintenance. my hair also tends to get poofee with lots of volume than growing longer. when i used to get my haircuts, the hair on the floor can be clumped into a giant hairball, as big as a soccer ball! therefore, i swear that the ionic straight perm is a genius invention to make my hair flat...

Anyways, now my hair is getting very long, and I'm planning to use it for a good deed. I'm going to donate my hair to Locks of Love, an organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. Since it needs to be a minimum of 10 inches long, I'm hoping to keep my hair long till my birthday in January, then get a haircut and donate my hair (I never dyed or bleached my hair before, so it's healthy hair). For once, my hair is not going to waste, but for a good cause.

If you're interested to donate your hair, or if you know of any children that are in need, please check out Locks of Love's website: http://locksoflove.org/index.html
