Locks of Love

You might have been wondering what the big deal was with C's hair. Why did an 8 year old need to be treated to the "fancy" salon? Well, back before her birthday in March, she made a major change to her hair. Drastic. Generous. C's hair was nearly to her butt! It was getting hard to care for, and she finally decided that donating it was the way to go. We went to the salon where Tara (the stylist worth following!) used to work and got it cut for Locks of Love. She wasn't as pleased about the new lenght as she'd hoped - when they cut it, they must put it in a pony tail to contain it, and they then cut above the elastic. This makes a very crooked cut (think the blonde girl friend from the movie 16 Candles that gets her hair caught in the door and her "friend" cuts her out) that must be fixed by cutting off even more length. I thought it looked wonderful.
