I've been thinking about donating my hair to Locks of Love. What was your experience like?

It was great! I actually didn't even think about Locks of Love until I was driving to the salon. My mom called me, and when I told her I was on my way to cut all my hair off laughing she asked if I was donating it. I was a little nervous at first, because 10" seems like a LOT. But when my hair stylist put my hair in pigtails and measured it out, it wasn't too bad. My hair was mid-back length, and 10" put it at the perfect length for the stacked bob I got.

I was super scared I was going to back out, so another stylist came and talked to me while Megan (my stylist) cut my pigtails - I didn't even realize she was doing it until my head suddenly felt about 5lbs lighter. But the whole experience was really great - the girls at the salon were really nice about it, I had 3 or 4 of them come tell me thank you. If your hair is long enough, I'd say go for it! It's nice to have a new hairstyle plus it's a great cause.

Wow!!!!

Next time I would go just a bit shorter and fuller to really frame up your face!

Looks great!

I am in pretty much the same predicament that you were in, but I don't have the courage to cut my hair. I wear my curly hair in a ponytail everyday and really hate it. I love your new style. How long do you think it will take you to style it each day? Do you plan on styling it at night so you don't have to do it in the morning?

Maybe I'll copy you and take the plunge!

Thanks! I think when I go back in for a trim I'll have her go a little shorter. She flat ironed the heck out of it today, so that's why it's pretty flat. I think when I do it myself, it'll be a little bit thicker.

Really, I don't think it will take me too long. When I flat ironed my hair before, it took me about 30 minutes to blow dry it and then 45-60 minutes to flat iron it. I'm hoping this will cut everything by at least half. What I usually do is take a shower and dry my hair at night, and then flat iron in the morning after my hair has had a chance to settle down and not be so poofy.

Plus, before my stylist dried and flat ironed it today, she showed me how easy it would be just to put some mousse in it and scrunch it up and wear it curly - and it was super cute! I think it'll probably be pretty low maintenance, or at least low maintenance compared to having it super long.

It's very cute!

 

[Mommy2cody]

I really like it! I think that was a great choice!

 

[CathrynRose]

It is HOT! I love it!!

You will LOVE that cut - both leaving it air dry wavy - or blowing it and flat ironing it.

Its a perfect cut!!

Can't wait to see it in person....at Buffett.....at Alpine.

 

[DeniseinNS]

I love it, it looks great!

 

[HannaBelle]

OP, you look great! I LOVE the bob. I did the exact same thing last summer. I too have long curly thick hair and desperately needed a change. I chopped it off, got tons of layers and have a face framing cut that I blow dry and flat iron (agree with the PP who said Chi only).

Good luck with your cut!!! It should definately help with the headaches too.
