My biggest PIF ever~!

[lynleestar]

Sorry if this shouldn't be here as it isn't e-cig related, but definitely is related to the true spirit of PIF. I'm still in shock, but look what I did:

It meant a lot to me to do that, I never have before. Never gave blood until last week either, but it gives you a good feeling. My mom needed 4 units when her surgery didn't take. I have 2 friends battling breast cancer, and my mom is bald. No medical known reason, just all fell out in her teens. It was my biggest fear in my teens, and twenties that mine would fall out too. The past few years it's been thinning, and the past few months the thinning has dramatically accelerated so I figured I'd better do it now.

Didn't really plan it out too well....I can't go get it...evened up until I get paid Thursday. Right now I feel like I look a little like I should be under a bridge with a shopping cart

OMG! Good for you! I could never do that. That took a lot of courage. You should be very proud of yourself...you did a selfless act! My hats off to you.

Looks like its bandanna time until Thursday....lol

 

[Ghetto_Cowgirl]

Wow! That took some guts woman! I don't think I could ever do that though I've thought about it! I notice when I get my hair cut it seems thicker/stronger, maybe yours will feel a lot healthier having done that

 

[UntamedRose]

Ohhh! Hugs Lynlee. I've thought about...still working on the balls. lol

That is such a wonderful thing to do! Going to make some little girl very happy

I have waist length hair. I think about cutting it, but chicken out every time. I have had it long for so many years, I think I would freak out!

 

[Tuck]

AWESOME for you. A perfect PIF

 

[Eekaa Chu]

Good for you! I did that a few years ago when supercuts was offering a free cut and style if you donated your hair. It felt really great!

Another place that's great to donate hair to is Pantene. They use the hair for women who have lost their hair to cancer treatments. My sweetie donated some of his hair to them last year.

Wow, am I the only guy who has done this? I've donated a couple feet a couple times, I figure what the heck, it'll grow back!

Really nice job, lynlee -- yes, it is a dorky looking cut and it won't be even for a couple months so get ready for the ribbing!!!

 

[dragynfly]

Bravo !!!! What a wonderful selfless act !! I like the pic of you with the shorter hair. It looks like you could really rock an A-Line cut. Channeling Victoria Beckham are ya ?

I have had both long and short hair, I find I am far SASSIER with short hair. Good for me....not so good for husband and loved ones !

That is awesome Lynlee, my daughter donated her locks when she finally agreed to cut her hair that was almost to her waist this past summer. I was so glad to see it go! I had tried to get her to cut it for a while but no go. My adult son's gf finally got her to do it by taking her to her stylist and it went. It looks so cute now!!!!

Way to go!!!

Mine was waist length until my youngest was about one. It's was just too tempting to pull. It's been pretty much short since then which RW has never been happy about.
The good news: You might find that it will slow down the thinning. Then there always Pantene thickening shampoo.

 

[lynleestar]

That's where it's going~! Locks of Love is great, but a big part of it is kids donating to kids. Pantene uses the hair to make wigs for more adult cancer patients, and as I know 2 ppl battling breast cancer right now, and my mom being a cancer survivor I made the descision that Pantene was the way to go. A big plus was they only needed 8 inches opposed to 10 for locks of love. Irrelevant though since when the time came I just said take it all~! Almost 16 inches hacked off.

you only need 8 inches to donate. measure 8 inches up from the bottom of your hair and you'd see that it would still be really long, and what you cut off would grow back in a year or less

And it makes you feel really good inside

[REDDOG1]

WOW, i remember you talking about wanting to do that the other day !
that's great and i love your shirt by the way.....

 

[blondeambition3]

You're such a beautiful person

 

[lynleestar]

You're such a beautiful person

with a baaaad haircut, lol

J/K, thank you all, I feel really good about doing it. I'm thinking I'm going to donate blood every chance I have and donate my hair again when it's long enough, provided it doesn't all fall out~!

 

[Pharaoh]

Wow, am I the only guy who has done this? I've donated a couple feet a couple times, I figure what the heck, it'll grow back!

I did it once a long time ago. I was just getting my long hair cut off and they asked if I wanted to donate it. I still feel sorry for the poor kid that got my nappy hair.

Great job Lynlee!

 

[Enid]

I think that you'll have an easy time finding a haircut that you like on Thursday. Until then, rock the a-line haircut knowing that you did an awesome thing.

Good for you Lynnee, you are as beautiful inside as you are out!!!!!!!!!!
