goodbye to you.

The before shot.

It was so long.

My ponytails and I.

The cut.

The after shot.

Last week, several of my closest friends and I cut off all our hair, donating it to two organizations that make wigs for cancer patients. Over a foot of hair was removed from my head, resulting in three large, donatable ponytails. Our friend, Lorah, cut our hair for us and did a fabulous job.

For me, it was a bit of an impulsive choice, largely made in support of my friends who had shed their hair before me. I'm glad I did it, although it does take some getting use too. I've had short hair before, but I've never done such an extreme change.

Hair will always grow back.
