So, after years of being involved with UCLA’s Relay for Life and having the job of convincing hundreds of people to cut 10 inches off of their hair to donate to those suffering from cancer and in need of a wig, last night I finally took the plunge and did it myself. Since I was in high school I have wanted to do this, but was apparently too vain or too attached to my luscious locks to actually do it. So I’ve been growing my hair over the past year and last night a good friend of mine cut 10 inches off of my hair so that I could donate it to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths campaign that works with the American Cancer Society to create wigs and gives them for free to those in need. I’m happy that I was finally able to let go of my attachment to my hair and do something with it that could potentially bring much joy or comfort to someone else. So in honor of Father’s Day, I do this in honor of my Grandpa Jack who lost the battle to cancer a few years ago.
If you’ve already skipped below to the pictures, you’ve probably realized that my hair isn’t even that short and therefore I should stop making such a big deal. And I probably should, but for the girl who hasn’t had her hair above her shoulders since elementary school, the short is definitely taking some getting used to.
