So I don't really believe in making New Year's resolutions because I think if there is something you want to change about yourself you should just do it and not wait for the new year or make it a resolution so if you fail you will feel you've broken some kind of promise to yourself... BUT this year I decided to make one...
I have always wanted to donate hair to "Locks of Love" because, well, not to be vain, but I think I have really nice hair, color-wise. I have seen other natural redheads with some pretty funky shades. Only 4% of the world population even carries the recessive gene for red hair, and that's not to say they will pass it along to their offspring at the same moment the other parent, who must also carry the recessive gene, passes it along. So there are even less people who actually have red hair and even less of those who donate their hair to a cause like "Locks of Love." And, if I had cancer or another condition resulting in baldness, I cannot imagine having a wig any color other than red... plus, as I just mentioned, there are some funky shades of natural red floating around out there...
You need to have a minimum of 10 inches to donate to "Locks of Love" and I have about 7 inches past the length I will be eventually chopping my hair to. I have decided to continue growing my hair until I go home for Memorial Day weekend because I really trust Kyla, my stylist in Stevens Point, and if I am going to be making such a drastic length change, I want someone I trust to be operating the scissors!The reason for writing my resolution here is because I seriously lack patience (especially when blow drying my hair) and my hair is already getting longer than I care for. I figure that if I write my resolution somewhere other people will see it, I will be less likely to back out, so look for photos of my new, shorter hair after Memorial Day!
