Growing it out for Merry...COMPLETE!

Back in April, 2011, I started growing my hair out for a very lovely friend, Merry, and over two years later, here we are...and my hair was long enough and has been CUT!!!

Yes my hair grows slow...

Thankfully Merry is feeling good, and has beaten breast cancer!!! But sadly several other friends have discovered they have it and are currently fighting it, not to mention so many others I don't know. So for all these brave fighters...I chopped my hair for you!

My hair will be sent to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program. I'm getting used to my short sassy hair, even if my husband isn't!! :)

 Before the big cut!

No turning back!!

There we go! 13 inches CUT OFF!

And here we are...short and sassy!

I hope my hair can bring a little happiness to a brave, strong, woman. Thanks to God for the gift of health He's given me, for healing my friend and please watch over and heal those still fighting this battle!

If you initially indicated you wanted to sponsor my hair growth, I have your contact information and I'll be dropping you an email! :)

Growing it out for Merry Update!

Okay, so I ended up NOT taking pics of my hair growth...sorry...but it's ALMOST time to cut it! You can find the original post here: http://blog.mamaslittlemonkeys.com/2011/04/growing-it-outfor-merry.html and if you wish to donate still, you can, once I cut I will be contacting anyone who said they'd wish to donate. It's totally okay if you can't! Maybe you can crochet a chemo cap or a scarf and send it to a local cancer center? Make a gift basket for someone fighting cancer? Offer to watch their kids? There are tons of things you can do!

My hair is alllllllllllllmost long enough to cut, but I want to give it a little wiggle room so the stylist can have some room to work with. I'm so ready!!!! I'll be donating to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths program in Merry's name. I'll definitely post pics when it's time!!
