Rose, Lerea, CC, Shiny and Yvette: it’s so good to hear about other people donating their hair, too. When I walked into the salon, a bunch of other women started asking me about what I was doing and sharing their own experiences. Amazing how we bond over these things!

And Yvette, I’m sure you mom would be proud of you for making someone else’s fight a little easier.

Heidi, don’t feel bad about donating to Locks of Love — they’re a great organization. I only went with Beautiful Lengths because several women close to me have fought off cancer, and I wanted to honor them.

Citrine, thank you! But I’m glad also for all the pink products, since not everyone can grow out their hair (just like I can’t volunteer to work in the hospital or a research lab). It’s good that there are opportunities for all of us to get involved!

Cupcake, I’d always heard the same thing. If I’d known sooner that they accepted dyed hair, I could’ve donated my hair about a year and a half ago.

Thank you all for sharing your stories and thoughts with me, too!

That’s great advice! Hopefully it’ll motivate a few gals/guys who are thinking about it.
