Chop chop!

Yesterday, because I was sick of all my long hair, dry because I gave myself highlights and for some reason have shunned conditioner this summer, and because I no longer needed to be concerned with having up-do length hair for sis's wedding, I got a whim. So I called the Aveda Institute and they had one appointment left today.

Last night I sat around knitting while watching Sex & the City and reading bad women's magazines, and located a photo. Thing is, I have baby fine hair, and more of it than seems humanly possible, so all these gorgous flippy bobs will not emerge on my head, no matter how long someone tries.

So I walked in today with a photo, and a whole list of things I wanted to change about it. And the girl who did my hair did a fabulous job--she absolutely understood what I wanted. And now I have short hair again. Woo-hoo!





And I'm about to go to a tiki themed party, so I found a never worn halter dress I got at a thrift store (for $4! And it's reversible!) in the back of my closet and did up my face. It'll probably last about an hour, but I like playing girlie-girl every once in a while.





This is the shortest my hair has been in quite some time. I'm happy!

Apparently LoL has refused to give out hard data about what they are doing with the donated hair, and there are reports that they sell far more than they actually use for kids' wigs, which is what they purport to be doing. It still might not be enough to make you shy away from it totally, but I'm all for informed decisions. :-)

I'm not sure if there are other places to donate or not. I think LoL kind of has the market cornered.
