Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.
Since Chasen and I had a trip to Louisiana planned for this weekend and would be driving right through our former hometown (Benton, Arkansas) I decided that this was the perfect time to take the plunge. I made an appointment with my former hair gal, Beth.
Beth admires my year and a half's worth of ponytail.
The she proceeded to chop it off!
I was soooooo happy to be rid of that 10 1/2" ponytail! (10" is the minimum donation)Many, many hours later I took this "after" photo in our hotel.
This new look should prove to be easier to maintain and much lighter for running!

Gorgeous new hairdo and what a GREAT thing to do with your hair. A very worth cause and well done!
I second all the previous comments...you look fabulous! :)
A worthy cause! You always look fabulous!
I agree with you about PF. I have heard that from so many people. I may have fallen arches.
I found some Superfeet Green inserts. I put them in the shoes I was wearing outside the store. After 3 weeks of limping, suddenly, I was not. That dull aching pain is slightly there still, but I feel so relieved!
So, I don't know, but I am on the mend and on the fix!
Thank you my friend!
What a precious gift!
Love, love, love the new haircut. You're rocking it! I'm envious though, I would love to have a shorter hairstyle but curly hair doesn't look near as cute as yours does.
I donated my pony-tail, too. I don't know if it is the haircut, but I set a massive 5min PB a few weeks later in a 10 mile race. I now call this my "go fast haircut" :-)
Well done and you look fab!
