My hair is finally starting to get healthy enough to grow again. If it ever gets healthy enough and long enough to be accepted, I want to donate it to Locks of Love. http://www.locksoflove.org/donate.html . I wish I had donated my waist length hair before the chemo, but I was in denial until too much had fallen out to make an acceptable donation. I really really really didn’t want to lose my hair. It’s amazing the things you think are important before, and the things you don’t mind giving up after.
Locks of Love really seems to be a great organization. :-) I know a few people who donate their hair regularly. It’s a great idea - and exactly the kind of thing to do with one’s hair that makes the most sense as a show of support (imho, anyway). From what I’ve heard, they’ll take several inches and leave you with a nice short cut. :-)
BTW, just adding - I was in denial, too, about the hair on my head. I was still hanging onto it when it was falling out and becoming tangled, until half of it was gone. lol I had it shaved off when I couldn’t stand it anymore.
There’s a woman at church every Sunday whose hair is just growing in. I so want to walk up and give her a hug, but I don’t know her. She’s starting to look happier and healthy, too.
