    I cut my hair every 3 years and donate. I have done this for about 20 years. Now my hair is grey. They take all colors. Karen

    My oldest daughter who is 6 did it last year...she donated 12" and my youngest daughter Gwen is doing next month when she gets hers cut:) They love helping other little girls feel like little girls again. I think it's wonderful that all of you others have done the same or know someone who has:)

    What a difference! I'm a BC survivor, & when my hair had grown back long, enough I did the same donation. I really liked my "after" shorter cut.

    Love your new hair cut and congrats on your donation. My 12 year old GD has done it twice already. She has hair similar to yours, thick and beautiful.

    My son donated the pony tail he wore for years & now has short hair as he did when he was little. It curled & he wanted it cut because he did not want "sissy" hair. You look great with you short cut.

    My hair used to be very long and I have donated several times to Locks for Love over the years. Not to be repetitious, your new cut looks wonderful. It is perfect for you.
