Thanks to everyone's great advice yesterday, I bit the bullet and donated my hair. I'm thrilled with the results!
I decided to go with Little Princess Trust--a British charity that provides free wigs to cancer-stricken children. The process was actually pretty funny. Apparently, donating your hair in England is not that common. It took me a while to find a charity; no hairdressers I spoke with had ever heard of donating hair. Since I knew going into it that I would pretty much be on my own, I came prepared with a ruler; a plastic bag to put the hair in afterwards; a rubber band; and the charity's donation requirements.
I only needed to donate 7 inches, but the poor hairdresser was so nervous about not getting enough hair that she refused to cut less than 8. Ha!
It's a little shorter than I intended it to be, but at least I can still get it in a ponytail.
So, that's one big change for the week. Will there be another? Hint, hint...baby. Any time you're ready.
