So some of you may already know that my dear, sweet cousin Tiffany was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 18 early last year. Growing up I was always pretty close to that side of my family and Tiffany had spent a lot of time around my family so I wanted to do something for her but I could never really figure out what. I was at a complete loss, does she want visitors? Or is she too sick to see anyone? Does she want to be distracted and entertained? Or does she need someone to listen to what she is going through? I really didn't know. The only thing I knew I could do is donate my hair to locks of love in her honor and show support to the whole community of people who have suffered at the hands of cancer. Unfortunately I had a wedding comming up and I had always pictured my hair longer for my wedding day, and the only way I had enough to donate was to go to a pixie cut. So I waited until after my wedding... but it still wasn't quite long enough! I waited, periodically going into the hair salon and having them measure my hair. Finally in December they said it was long enough, but just barely. To be on the safe side I gave my hair one more month of growing time so that my hair would look decent (I still have to be presentable to go to work, etc!). This last weekend was the end of that month, and it was time to make the cut! For the record, yes this is the shortest my hair has ever been, yes I'm cutting my hair almost a year after my cousin was diagnosed (who is in remission and looking more beautiful than ever in case you wondering!), and yes I love my new do! It so easy to take care of, It takes about 2 seconds to style, my hair already looks perfect when I wake up, the wind can't mess it up, I can head bang to my favorite songs without worrying about tangling my hair and I think it's a great cut for my face shape! I hope someone enjoys my old hair as much as I'm enjoying my new hair!
