Tomorrow I'm going to do something neat with my two youngest sisters and my daughter. The four of us will meet in Tulsa, Oklahoma at a haircutting shop. We have all grown our hair long and we plan to cut off ten inches and donate it to Locks of Love. This is an organization that makes free wigs for people who need a wig because they have a medical condition, most commonly they have lost their hair because they are taking chemotherapy treatments.
It's exciting that we get to do this together. My youngest brother Daniel also grew his hair out. He's in college right now. I guess most guys like to grow their hair out at least once. He has already cut his hair and plans to send it to the organization. Penny has grown her hair the longest. Deena's hair is probably the shortest of everyone. My little girl Ginny says she nervous about getting her hair cut but she doesn't know why. We've only had her hair trimmed but my husband said she could cut her hair since it was for a real good cause. Ginny might have gotten her nervousness from me. At first I wasn't planning to grow it out but each time I went to the beauty shop they bearly cut it. When I get my hair cut it's gonna be shorter than I want. I like to wear it long. If it turns out I don't like it I'll just keep it up in a hair clip or ponytail until it grows out in about 6 months. If I'm ever going to do this it needs to be now because I'm going to start coloring my hair probably within the next year. Locks of Love doesn't use treated hair.
I plan to get my hair tapered around the face with a few bangs that go down to my cheek bones. I want to write another blog to tell you how things go. I hope my haircut looks nice. And everyone elses too. Surely there will be some book there that has the perfect hairdo just right for each of us and we can just show it to the hairstylist.
