Okay, not the cleverest of blog titles, but I blame it on my afternoon of drinking tea instead of coffee.
Sabrina has been growing her hair out for years. Her long hair is sort of what she's known for around these parts, and she's always felt like she'd be lost without it.
But earlier this year, she started thinking that she wasn't really doing anything with all that extra hair (except for putting it up in a bun on top of her head every day), so why not donate it? She slept on it a few days (literally), and finally announced that she was ready to do it.
So we headed to the salon, and she nervously sat in the chair while the stylist made sure and double-sure it's really what she wanted to do.
Sabrina stated boldly, "Do it." Then she let out a little squeak as the scissors sawed laboriously through the thick, strawberry rope. (I never knew Sabrina had so much hair to cut through!)
The stylist and I waited for a reaction, as the length of hair was handed back to Bean… Then suddenly, the chair whipped around.
I felt like applauding! I think I was relieved that she didn't faint.
I really hope someone gets good use out of her hair.. she's taken good care of it, and is on her way to growing it out yet again. Oh, and because her hair is much lighter now, flyaway hair is a new concept for her:
Love you, Bean. 🙂

Not only is she beautiful on the outside, but she is equally as gorgeous on the inside. What a lovely, selfless thing to do!! You are truly blessed to have such wonderful girls, Paulette.
Please let her know that someone is going to be so thankful for her gift. I have many friends who have dealt with cancer and were gifted with natural wigs from donations such as this; it makes a huge difference in their emotinal and spiritual recovery.

My daughter did the same thing last July 2012. She had 14″ cut off!!! My daughter LOVES to grow out her hair to donate it to a great cause as Locks of Love!
Way to go Sabrina!!!!! You did a great thing!!!
Karen
What a great thing she did! And she knows that her hair will grow back nice and fast too. She is a beautiful girl!

Good for her! My son actually did this. Why is it a man can grow hair a woman can only dream about?

What Sabrina did is a great thing, and her hair will grow again fast and strong ! The length that was cut is impessive though….

She is beautiful short or long and it’s so wonderful that it goes to a great cause.

Good for her! My son just donated his hair last week! My DH has donated his hair twice (he has gorgeous thick hair, the envy of most men and quite a few women).
Sheryl
that is an awesome thing she did and she will always be beautiful no matter how much hair she gets cut off. Congrats
Lynn Jones
Well done Sabrina! That is a totally selfless thing which you’ve just done. As someone who has worn wigs and hairpieces a good portion of her life I can tell you that it will be greatly appreciated.
I think your hair looks fabulous at its new length!
Willeke
