I donated my hair (PICS)

Not all of it, but a lot!

If you haven't already, I'd appreciate you reading this blog post. Thank you to everyone who was so encouraging! I knew I would do this for the past three years, and have no regrets. It's refreshing - I forgot what blunt ends felt like. I hope my small sacrifice will help someone who needs it more than I do!

Well, I know my writing isn't particularly interesting (:P) so, on to the pictures!

I have a few pre-cut shots I'd like to share with you. I took these as documentation of my pre-cut length:

The Length:

I thought it was funny that I could sit on my hair (even though I wasn't at classic length - I guess I just have a funny body shape!)

And a fun shot, just because:

Aaaaand finally, the cut!

I have face framing layers and bangs in the front, but the back is a blunt v (is that even such a thing? I have it, anyways

) It is a bit, er, lopsided in the picture - but I guarantee it isn't in real life!

I'm happy with my decision. It was amazing to grow my hair almost to goal (so close!), and I'm looking forward to doing it again. I'm so glad I decided to donate my hair a second time. I'm not sure whether I'll focus on growth for a few months - I'd like to enjoy my hair as it is. I can't stop flipping my head around. Head banging is going to be a cinch now!

Thank you for reading!

It looks so beautiful! Both before and after.

I donated to Pantene Beautiful Lengths last year and am glad that I did it. Though I probably won't do it again because my hair is all colored and hiding more gray now. Yay for you, donating twice to such a good cause!

I love the blunt cut, your hair looks great long and a bit shorter.

Well done for donating, it's good to know that you've made a difference

You have amazing hair, the blunt cut is something i want to tryy too but i dont have the balls to do it

Thank you all for being so supportive!

Avital88, I'd definitely suggest trying a blunt cut at least once. Or maybe trimming over time to achieve a blunt cut. There's something really nice about it - the ends of my hair feel like a puffy foundation brush now!
