new thread
Hello everyone, how's it going? I see a TON of new faces around here (I haven't been around much lately), but there are a lot of faces I definitely recognize. For those of you who don't know me, I used to be a pretty active member of this board and had been growing my hair out for about three years and had it about midway down my back.
However, notice that I said "had."
Yup, I cut it all off. But guess what? I love it! Now don't get me wrong, I LOVED having long hair - it was straight, blond, and behaved quite well. It also set me apart from a lottttt of people where I go to school (LSU). Anyone from Louisiana would understand exactly what I'm talking about.
Anyways, to make a long story short, back in mid May, I decided to cut it all off. I donated it to Locks Of Love, which made me feel really good, knowing that my hair was going toward a good cause. Now to explain why I cut it off is quite simple: I was getting tired of it. It's ridiculously hot where I live (Central Florida/ Louisiana) and the long hair was not helping at all with that. Plus, I've really gotten into running in the past eight months, so the short hair better suits my needs.
There are many posts ar0und the web to confirm that Locks of Love is a con and much of the hair is simply burned. Sorry.
Well at least I meant well. Even if it never made its way there, at least it didn't just wind up as trash on the floor of a salon.
As for Locks of Love their credentials don't really stand up as a charity and would avoid them like the plague and I have a personal experience with that "charity"!
