Locks of Loooove

I figured, well shit, I might as well do something nice for humanity.
I don't think donating to Goodwill and all those other thrift stores really counts, hell I buy stuff from there.
This would make me genuinely feel good about myself (for once!)
Has anybody ever heard about Locks of Love or made a donation to it?? I heard about it over five years ago when an acquaintance with long beautiful hair chopped it all off to make a wig for a child with cancer. www.locksoflove.org
I've been growing my hair out for almost four years now (it was middle-aged woman short when I was 18), and it's long enough to cover my booooobies. I love it, but it is such a hassle to keep it all under a hat at work. I only wear the hat cuz otherwise it gets all gnarly.
I'm afraid of separation anxiety, but I think it would be worth it. My hair would make a GREAT wig for a wee one.
Well, I made an appt for Thursday night to get it hacked, I just hope it's long enough; a minimum of 10 inches is required.
Maybe I'll post a before and after pic later.
Must.....build......courage.

You should totally do it! If you have nice long hair, it will grow back A friend of mine just donated his to locks of love. He grew his hair out over his college years (looked strikingly like Jesus...) and after graduation he shaved his head and donated it all. I don't think you have to shave your head bald either. They can just cut off a big chunk (depending on how long your hair is) and leave you with a nice short hair cut Go for it! You'll make someone's life a LOT better

I'm not going to shave my head, but I think I do have enough hair to cut off a ten inch ponytail and still have a shag do below my ears.

I donated 17 inches to them about a year ago.

I got "mullet" a few times even though my hair was proportionately long but just not "long", ya know?
I kinda wish I had long hair again (like mid-back+) but yeah. short hair is too much maintenance but somehow easier and makes dealing with ("normal") people less difficult. not that said people are in most cases worthy of one's time, but it takes them longer to judge me now. they actually have to hear me talk or listen to my thoughts rather than writing me off as a depressed metalhead or oblivious hippie based on my looks, both of which weren't really true to my character.
