Last week I did something I’ve been wanting to do for years...  I donated 10 inches of my hair to Locks of Love :)

My hair has been almost to my booty since I was a kid.. now it's a few inches below my shoulders for the first time ever! I know a lot of people will still consider it long, but it's soooo short to me.

Congrats! I've done it twice--

And I don't mean to make you feel bad because, as I've said I've actually donated it several times to them too, but apparently they continuously have scandals about missing donations: http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/05/17/report-locks-of-love-lost-6-6-million-worth-of-donated-hair/

I learned about this in 2011 or so and this is a more recent report so it seems like they haven't changed their ways. If you want to donate your hair, there's also Pantene which has a broader reach than LoL in terms of people it serves: http://www.pantene.com/en-us/pantenebeautifullengths/pages/default.aspx

 
Haha no worries - someone else actually mentioned the "scandals stories" to me earlier today and I had NO idea. I read a few articles about it but it wasn't concrete enough to really sway my opinion of the organization. If I decide to donate again I'll definitely look into some other organizations because before today I didn't even realize there were others lol.
