As some of you know, I am in the process of growing out my hair to donate to Locks of Love. My hair was a considerable length but the last 4 or 5 inches were dry, brittle and badly damaged. I had been meaning to have it trimmed for some time but I always ran out of time or money.
I was talking to my Sunday School teacher last week about my desire to donate my hair but how I wanted to make sure I donated healthy, usable hair. She informed me she had gone to cosmotology school and would be more than happy to trim my hair for free.
So yesterday evening I went to her house and told her to take off all the dead ends which is exactly what she did. My hair is now about 5 inches shorter but it looks so healthy and pretty. I have had so many comments on it today. It feels really short to me but it is still below my shoulders.
In order to donate it, I have to have 10 inches. I still have about 2 or 3 inches to grow before I can donate, but with the help of Jennifer (she has offered to continue trimming it and help with the donating process), I don't think it will take that long. My hair grows pretty fast. Thanks for reading.

um... hi.
my name's Christina. i kind of stumbled onto your blog somhow (i'm not really sure how it happened really!) but i don't think it was an accident. God brings christians together, you know? thanks for sharing your life. it's really encouraging. i haven't read all of the blogs yet, but i want to try to.
yeah. praise Jesus!
I think it is so cool what you are doing with your hair. I don't think I've ever seen you with it that long. I had a friend (she's in heaven now)that donated her hair one time. I admire you ladies that have the patience to grow it out for that prupose. Hang in there.
