9 inch nails

Ok, not really nails... just hair. 9 inches of hair. gone. from my head.

Here is how it all started... I was starting to grow my hair out. Just for fun. Then my good friend Marcia was diagnosed with breast cancer. In honor of her, I decided to grow my hair to donate. So, I have been growing my hair with that reason in mind for the past year.

Locks of Love will take hair with a minimum of 10 inches and makes wigs for all kinds of hair loss diseases. Which is great! I found out that Pantene also takes hair with a minimum of 8 inches, for hair loss due to cancer. Also great! And since cancer was the reason I was growing mine, I am donating to Pantene.

So, this week I had a 9 inches of hair cut off. I will post pictures soon, but I didn't have my camera with me, so the photos are not on my computer to download. (Or is it upload?) Anyway, pictures to come...
