Ohhh we had a neighbor back in MA for a while, who had been a bear hunter & he decided he suddenly felt bad about that & would change his ways, so he started feeding the bears...of all things Dunkin Donuts...He would drive by once a week with 5 gallon buckets full of the left over donut holes that he picked up for the bears...He was not very popular with the neighbors as you can imagine...and then one day...his wife got sick of him doing this & plus the bears had killed her sisters dog..So she decided to see if she could shock her hubby into stopping feeding the bears. While he was asleep, she made a trail of donut holes from the window sill in the bedroom, across the floor, onto the night stand and on the pillow he was sleeping on. Last I knew he didn't feed the bears any more!!!!

Thanks sooooo much Debbie, Wash n go is such fun!!! The Locks of Love want it in a pony tail or braid and 10 inches long...so if you are there or close...it's such a great feeling thinking it will help a beautiful child who needs it!!! LOL...I followed my primal need...I just chopped mine...and didn't even do any touch up trimming...I actually weighed what I cut off...it was over 1 1/2 ounces of hair...what an amazing difference it made:)
Try Putting your hair up in a pony tail on top of your head...then measure the length...will tell you if you have enough to donate yet.. and they also say:

Hair that is 6-10 inches in length will be accepted and sold at fair market value to offset the manufacturing costs. Although the shorter hair cannot be used in the hairpieces, it still greatly helps to reduce costs.

So lots of help to them too!!!

Marlys,
Yes I cut it myself... took some time...got it all up in a ponytail on top of my head...2 rubberbands...measured very carefully...and took a major deep breath...then waited a while..then went back to the mirror..scissors in hand...put them in place...said to self...hmmm should I do this??? and then I just went for it... cut between the 2 rubberbands...so that what I cut off..would stay together...then I took the rubberband off what was left on my head...and said...Ohhh I gotta wash it now...and then...and then...and then...it felt tooo good...dried in no time...just kind of fluff it up...as it dried & my natural wave came back..I have been to a hair dresser perhaps 3 times in my over 60 years..they never do it right!!!Thanks again!!! The Locks of Love happened after I cut the 14 inches off...which is a wonderful thing I didn't know about at first...

Thanks Kelly, My Mom thinks what I cut off & sent in will make at least 2 wigs...and my hair is still long enough to do a french braid in the back...I still can't quite believe that all I  did is to pull my hair up on top of my head into a pony tail...with 2 rubberbands about an inch apart...and just cut between them...and no trimming after...and I still love it today!!!
Also if you have lost that much weight...that is totally awesome...and definitely time for a whole new look...you just wait...it feels wonderful shedding the extra weight of the hair!!!

Thanks Much Chrissi!!! It had gotten so long & my hair is very heavy...& I was starting to have headaches & neck problems...and tonight I feel lighter than air!!!...And if you can cut off a pony tail or braid that is 10 inches long or more...Locks of Love can use it...for those sweet kids..It isn't why I cut my hair...just a perfect result...thanks to my friend Lisa & my Mom.

Your picture looks great Charlotte, and 14 inches is an amazing amount of hair.  It will be much cooler for summer.
