Hannah has been thinking for some time that she would like to donate her hair to locks of love. She first heard of it when one of her school friends did it and I believe that she then used this as a reason to not get her hair cut for the next couple of years.
Her bluff was recently called when Briana, a close family friend and sometimes babysitter decided to have a locks of love day while she interned at a local sytlist. Each senior at Woodstock HS selects a project that has something to do with their future employment and Briana would like to become a stylist. She asked Hannah if she would be willing to donate her hair, along with herself, her mother, her sister and several of her friends.
After a few gentle reminders the day arrived and we all headed out to the stylist to make the donation. He-hee and the Rea's all showed up to lend Hannah some much needed moral support. After a little "gentle prodding" from Dad, she sat down for the cut. 10 inches of hair is the minimum donation and the cut brought her hair to just below her shoulders.
We were all very proud of Hannah for supporting such a nobel cause as well as keeping her promise to Briana!
The stylist commented that she could tell Hannah's hair had been curly when she was young. I thought her hair looked awesome after it was trimmed up and evened out and told her so many times in the next week that I soon got "that face" each time I made a reference to it.
