Hey ladies!  I got my hair chopped today and gonna donate 11in!  I'm super excited.  I'm donating to Wigs4Kids so that I know my hair will go to a child.

Have you donated hair?  How much?  I hope to be able to do this again some time.


Please exuse the pics......I don't take pics of myself so they may look a lil funny :D
BEFORE (its also straight in the front NO bangs or anything)

AFTER (11in to donate and TONS more on the floor)

got a lil color put in, but my hair is SO dark it doesn't show like I wanted it.  Plus I didn't want red, but a  honey golden color and it turned out red.  hahahahaha!

My friend did that, too! She put it on her Facebook and it was so cool to see her do that!
I dove donating my hair. I go through periods of keeping it so long I can sit on it, to really short. Last time it was barely able to make the minimum length, which is so weird for me!
Good job. op!

That is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!  I would've had 2-3 more inches to donate but I don't like my neck shaved (plus my hair is so thick and dark so it looks funny growing back).  I also have had the SAME lady cut my hair since middle school.  hahahaha!

I do it about every 3 or 4 years. Its time for me to get mine cute but I'm spoiled and picky, I only let one person cut my hair and for that to happen now I have to take a trip back to my home town. The last time I donated 22 inches.

That's amazing!!!!  I don't think I could shave it (tho I've been tempted a time or two).  I just don't like the feel of the clippers.

That's great you could do that my hair is long but I don't ever plan on cutting it. Last time it was short I was in the 2nd grade.

I think if I remember right it's the golden hair dye that gives the reddish tints  I Could be wrong.I try to stay away from them as I have a lot of red in my family. I always seem to end up with some red tints anyway.

You know, a LONG time ago when my SIL was doing hair I let her try many different dyes out on my hair (it was about shoulder length or so then).  And red never took!!!  Then this time I wanted golden (not really blonde) and my hairdresser actually did 2 shade lighter plus put more peroxide in it b/c I wanted it inb/w.  So weird how  differently hair takes color.  Oh, and she also left it on my hair longer.  Oh well......maybe I'm not destined to have light brown.  hahahaha!  :)

 Awesome :)

I donated a long time ago when I had long hair. It was over 24 inches, my hair was down to my knees and I cut it to my ears.

I have donated twice. I can't remember how much the first time but well over 12 in I went from my butt to my chin! The Second time it was my butt to just above my shoulders. I did locks of love.
