HAIR CUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok so on March 22 I got 12 inches of hair cut off!

Don’t freak out I will explain. lol. The last time I got a major hair cut was 2 years ago. I liked keeping it super long since I model and sometimes it helps if you keep a consistent “look.” My hair was so long it was past my belly button!! haha I know SUPER long hair!! I just got really sick of it, it was really hard to take care of and it didn’t seem to really help me that much with modeling so I decided to cut it.

I remember watching an episode of Oprah a while back (And yes, I do watch Oprah) and they were talking about Locks of Love. I searched the computer for donating requirements and found out that the minimum length of hair to donate in 10 inches. I measured where ten inches would be on my hair and it was PERFECT! not to long but not to short about 5 inches from my shoulders. A week later I went to go get my hair cut and I did NOT know what I was getting my self into.

So we walk in and I didn’t really get a good vibe of the salon. You know what I mean? My usual place had a two hour wait so we couldn’t go there. So I sit in the chair and tell the lady I need 10 inches cut off and that I’m donating it to locks of love. She said ok and that instead of putting it in a ponytail ( most people cut it while its in the pony tail) she was just going to cut across normally. I thought ok, she’s the professional, just trust her.


Right as she does the first cut a guy in the salon yells “DON’T DO IT!” haha very funny, NOT! My mom takes the hair as its being cut so it does fall on the floor and after about a minute of agony the lady says “Ok finished!” I look in the mirror and pure terror is on my face. She cut 12 inches not 10 like I asked! I wanted to cry! But I said “ thanks! I like it?” And then she said “ Ok I’m going to have to cut it again so its even.” NOOOOOO!
Was there no end!? It was already way shorter than I was expecting she could tell I was horrified and she was going to make it SHORTER!? After the 2nd cut it was like she cut 13 and a half inches of hair off.


It took me about 2 days to get over it and then I decided, I loved it! My hair was way easier to take care of. It made me look taller which helps with modeling. And I feel really good because I think I’m doing a good thing by helping someone. When I think about those kids with cancer it makes me so sad there hair may not even start to grow back for a long time and mine is past my shoulders and is growing everyday. This was my first time donating my hair and I cant wait to do it again!
