We’ve been keeping a little secret around here. And if you’ve followed us long enough, you know that that likely means someone got a haircut. And when I say a haircut, I don’t mean just a trim, or a few inches off either! So far, both McKayla and Bug have cut large amounts of hair off (2 times) and donated it.
Back in the summer of 2014 Bee cut off decided to have my sister cut her hair, but this time it was more than a trim. She cut over a foot off of her long beautiful hair and donated it. You can read more about that in THIS post. Since 2014 she’s had a couple trims per year, usually cutting off a couple inches each time.
As Bee’s hair has continued to grow back, and as she is getting older, she started thinking about cutting it again. However, with the age she is, she’s just starting to try to learn how to do things in her own hair. Having a ton of long hair was hindering her a bit. And the concern of cutting too much off also worried her a bit as well. In the past, every time the girls have donated, they’ve cut about 12 inches off. She worried that might be a bit more than she wanted. We went back to our post about cutting & donating your hair and researched some more about minimum donation requirements. We found that there are some places that the minimum is 8 inches. She was happy she could still donate if she didn’t cut 12+ inches off. She decided to cut between 8-10 inches.
If you’re thinking of cutting and/or donating your hair, be sure to check out our post Things You Need to Know When Cutting & Donating Your Hair. We share tips & tricks, as well as different places you can donated your hair, and some of the requirements. As always, be sure to check with the donation organization personally to verify all information or ask any questions.
As silly as it may sound, I’ve struggled with sharing this because of the negative feedback that tends to come with these types of posts. While the majority of the feedback we get is positive, it still is always sad that people have to say negative things about cutting and donating hair. There are those who think we should have donated more, that the girls had plenty more to cut off so they should have. There are others who have issues with where we donate the hair. And there are others that totally disagree with us cutting their hair at all. But I just remind everyone that cutting your hair and donating (or not donating it) is a personal decision. My girls are all sweet and tender hearted girls, and just want to help others. So we thank you kindly for not judging Bee’s decision to cut her hair, and the fact that she cut a bit less off this time. 🙂
