Wow That's a lot of hair! BTW, your new cut is gorgeous! What a nice thing to do. :)

You look amazing. I was growing my hair out for a wig for my aunt with lung cancer. She lost her battle in May and I am still in the process for locks of love. I figure next year at this time I can post my before and after pictures. Awesome cause!!

What a sweetheart you are for donating your hair!

Monika 09-11-2011 08:23 AM

Love your new look and what a great thing to do!

BrandyMcCoy 09-11-2011 08:23 AM

Sorry to hear that sad news. You should give it to wigs for kids...they don't charge the families for the wigs, they are free to the children. Locks for love charges the family for the wigs.

You Go Girl!!!!!You're a ROCK STAR in my book!!!! :)

My son and I have both donated hair for wigs. This is a good program. Your new hair style looks great!

bluteddi 09-11-2011 08:26 AM

between myself, my dtr, and my grandaughter... we donated over 32 inches at one sitting..... to Locks of Love.....

Great organization!!!

*note* their new minimum is 10 inches

Wow,what a great gesture - you look super cute with your new haircut. I have been thinking about doing this too - my hair is longer than its ever been - maybe I shall follow your lead.

charismah 09-11-2011 08:34 AM

Alex J 09-11-2011 08:48 AM

Thank you for your gift

emerald46 09-11-2011 08:49 AM

The new do is very attractive! Great gift you gave.

luv-e 09-11-2011 08:55 AM

You both are ANGEL"S!!!!!!!
Thank you from a cancer survivor!!!!!!
You both look Awesome by the way........

Jaynie 09-11-2011 09:06 AM

That's a wonderful thing you did. My son (no momma doesn't really like his long hair, but he does keep it back on a ponytail)donates his hair to Locks Of Love in honor of a classmate of his that died from cancer 12 years ago, when they were in high school. Momma likes that he does it for a cause. And to all the others that donate...WAY TO GO!!!

clem55 09-11-2011 09:49 AM

Neat new look for you, it's nice. My 9 year old granddaughter just donated to Locks for Love, 10 inches. She was so proud to do that. I didn't know they charged for the wigs though, thought they were free.

sammygirlqt 09-11-2011 09:52 AM

What a nice gesture. You have beautiful healthy hair and your new cut is cute as can be.

BLAP 09-11-2011 09:57 AM

very admirable!

kidmenot43 09-11-2011 09:58 AM

I have been doing this also for the past 8 yrs. Ussually every 2 yrs for at least 12" of hair. I go to the beauty college here and get a free hair cut while the hair is donated to wigs for kids.
It is really a great cause. Thanks for sharing.

cjomomma 09-11-2011 10:03 AM

That is do mice of you!
I could probably give 24in right now but my is dyed so I was told they wouldn't take it.

NancyG 09-11-2011 10:10 AM

What a great cause! Your new cut looks really cute on you. Bet you don't miss your long hair. So nice of you to donate it!

scraphq 09-11-2011 10:12 AM

You are a beautiful person, inside and out!

sueisallaboutquilts 09-11-2011 10:32 AM

Brandy, is it Locks of Love??? That's what I'm doing right now :)

Your new cut is beautiful!!

Carrie, that's only true if it's bleached, not dyed. Check the website

blueangel 09-11-2011 10:34 AM

That's wonderful. Your cut is so cute.

PhotoKevin 09-11-2011 10:40 AM

What a beautiful lady! Inside and out!

hperttula123 09-11-2011 10:46 AM

Wow!!! That is so great of you to donate that much...Love your new cut. I donated about 10 inches last year(couldn't get myself to go shorter than shoulder length).

irishrose 09-11-2011 10:47 AM

You were beautiful with the long hair and equally so without it and some little one will benefit. What a win/win situation.

patd 09-11-2011 10:50 AM

Your new style looks fabulous
