So after having long hair for most of her life, my wife decided awhile back, in line with our impending move and her giving spirit, to chop her hair and donate it to Locks of Love. Like any woman(!) she was nervous about her new short 'do. Having worn a buzz for many years now, I was middling concerned .

2 hours and 9 inches later, she looks great (I mean that!), and Locks of Love has some new hair for someone who needs it. Kudos to my wife, both for putting up with me (Must be where the grey came from...) and for trying to make a small corner of the world a better place!

After two hours and 9 inches I'd bet any woman would look great...

i donated 20 inches at lunch when i got rid of my haystack.

the people i worked with were freaked out when i returned.

Friend of mine just donated. Hates the cut and is growing it back ASAP, but loves the cause and has no regrets.

I donated mine in 2008. 12 of pretty, pretty princess hair, complete with Unicorn cum glitter to make it soft and shiny.

Didn't know they took pubes.

Very cool indeed! I went from long to short when I went to college and donated. I didn't have enough last time Perhaps I need to grow my hair out again.

 

[moff_quigley]

My wife and oldest did this a couple years back.

 

[mantispf2000]

Co-worker does this regularly, well, as often as you can after each cut/growth. I'd love to see the smiles on the faces of the kids that receive their "new hair".

Funny thing is when My daughter got her Wigs. they recommended synthetic , because it holds up better and last longer

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Over the last 10 years, my wife has done this twice. Pretty damn cool

 

[Da Peach]

Yes she is. So is mine.

Update...wife is still cool, but we are hanging out with her family now. I forgot how obnoxious they are, and how weird she gets around them. She totally regresses into a self concious 14 year old persona around them. Now they dont like her short 'do, and she is determined to grow it back. WTF, over?

 

[stoney]

Call her family out on it. Ask them when the last time they spent the time and effort necessary to grow long hair to give away to charity for those more needy.

I'd add the extra bite of a comment on someone's personal physical traits (of course to someone who can take it). I prefer some thing along the line of "Those pants make your ass look larger than normal, you should go back to the old ones you used to wear". It's blunt and mean as hell and surely won't win you any points, but sometimes it needs to be done.

My Wifey's family is just as critical of her for no reason and after I did something of that sort a few years back the comments stopped. Nobody liked me for a while and are still very conscious of how/what they say that can be insulting, but it's helped Wifey's confidence around the family.

run around with clippers until EVERYONE has short hair.


then piihb.

My ex's family was like that, even going so far as to accuse her of being a prostitute because we'd sleep at my family's house when they would buy us plane tickets home during grad school.

Finally they won out. They didn't like me, and after enough time, they got it in her head to leave. I hate them, and I hope they die from being raped by a brahma bull.
