My mother-in-laws birthday was last Saturday (Nov. 22nd) and in honor of her, I have been growing my hair for donation for WELL OVER a year. For those of you who have never grown your hair for a reason, you must have extreme patients. Well, if you know me, you know that patients is not one of my best virtues, but definitely something I am working on. I cut over 8 inches of my hair off last Friday, November 21st. The ponytail of hair had to be 8 inches and my stylist (Nichole) had to shape things up, so it was at least 9 inches. After much anticipation, a few deep breaths, and Nichole trying to keep me from passing out.............the hair was gone. Yes, at first I felt like Matilda with a giraffe neck. It was for a good cause, so just another reason to laugh at myself. If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?
There are two ponytails because I have amazingly thick hair and still with two ponytails, Nichole had to cut each one three times. My mom and I got the lots of hair jean, my brother and dad....not so much!
This is before a major color overhaul and a fixing the crazy ends!!!
This was after everything the next night at a wedding.........it was, or should I stay still is an adjustment. The best picture I could come up with!
So, I am back into growing my hair out, I don't think I will be able to make it next November, so this will be a true test of patience......2 years......just stick with me!!
Happy Birthday Deb!!! And on this same day, was Ashley's oldest brother, Trey's birthday.....Happy Birthday Trey Bird! We love you!

Love it!! Such a wonderful thing you did, and I think your hair is adorable =)
I think that is really special. Your are a super trooper for doing that. So what do you do with the hair? Does the stylist mail it in somewhere for you? How does that work? And I love the cut and color, I think it looks great.
Colly, I had to put the hair in a zip lock bag and mail into Pantene Beautiful Lengths. I used them b/c they give wigs to adult women. Have you ever felt a ponytail full of cut off hair? It is really weird......if you ever decide to cut your hair off you should do this!!!
Personally, I love the haircut! It was such a wonderful donation. I know Debra is proud of you as well. I know I am! I couldn't ask for a greater daughter than you. I am so lucky! Can't wait till Christmas and my two South Carolina kids coming home for a visit. By the way, the next thing I look forward to....Graduation day 2012! Yahoo! Love lots, Mom
wow! I think the cut looks great!! what a great gift to your MIL!
Mom if you didn't say that we would all be worried. Thanks everyone!
