I finally bit the bullet and cut my hair. I donated it to Locks of Love so that gave me the guts to go through with it. It had been years so this is a big change.

That's so great!! I've always wanted to donate to them but I think I'd have to shave my head at this point to make their minimum donation length....

They want at least 10 inches. I think she cut of 13 inches. I thought it would be too thin to use but the hairdresser said it should be fine.
I really fought cutting my hair and I am glad I did it. It looks so thin and straggly before and now it actually looks thicker. Everyone always said it would but I didn't believe it.

I think it looks good and what a great cause. I have never been able to grow my hair much past my shoulders before it starts getting on my nerves.

I hated having to cut my hair after all the hair loss (I lost about 8 inches), but it really does lok better when we cut the thin "scraggly" stuff off and have just the shorter, fuller style. It does take getting used to, but at least it won't tangle easily!

Now that my second round of hair loss has passed, and the hair I lost during the first period of loss after the RNY is below my ears, I am probably going to grow mine back out. It grows really slowly, though.

Enjoy your new style. I think it looks great.
