This past weekend I made a big decision to cut 12 inches of my hair off.

Yes, I know you're probably thinking, "What in the world are you thinking?" or "How long did it even take you to grow it out?" Well, it took me a year to grow my hair out long enough to cut. And what I was thinking was to donate it.

I have always wanted to donate it and help those who don't have hair because of cancer. It took me about two weeks to make this a serious decision. I value my hair very much and loved it being long, but it honestly got annoying whenever I moved to college this fall. It was a lot of up-keep and hassle to either keep it up all the time or to take the time to let it dry after a shower.

So when I decided to make this decision, I for sure wanted it to be for a good cause. So I decided to donate it to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths. They only require eight inches to donate if your hair isn't dyed and they give it to those who can't afford to buy a wig. I picked this cause because I felt the need to help those who needed it most. So my five closest friends went with me to get it cut. I was so scared that it wouldn't be long enough. But it ended up being 12 inches! A WHOLE FOOT!
