Please read, important!

Earlier this week I realized how much having this long hair has meant to me and the way that it has been a "layer" of safety when I've felt anxious. I have thought about losing my hair and how it would create a whole new level of insecurity for me. I have been fortunate this way. But unfortunately, there are children who lose their hair due to medical reasons, such as cancer. So, I have decided to cut my hair this Friday and donate it to an organization in the UK that provides wigs to these children. I hope that it will bring joy to a child who has had to go through so much at a young age. When you grow older, you realize that looks don't necessarily matter that much. But to a young person, especially someone who has had long hair, losing it can be devastating. Children should have the right to be children with no worries or suffering. But those who have to battle cancer and feel the consequences of the treatment at such a young age are so, so brave. They deserve to have the chance to look like they want to and feel confident. Something as simple as a wig can provide that confidence.

With this post, I hope that I will encourage you, a member of the CS-community, to donate hair. There are many organizations online that help several children and other young people to heal by providing them some joy.

Donating hair is quite easy, but instructions vary depending on organization, so remember to do your research!

Aw, that's so nice of you! I have short hair now, but back when I had really long hair, I would donate 6-7 inches every time I got it cut (:
