Every 18 months...choppy choppy the hair for Locks of Love.
The bad part is, when you wait so long between hair cuts, the gray is REALLY noticeable each time!
I'm thinking about doing "Way Out White" highlights over the gray and in a couple other strategic spots...
Hey, if you can't beat 'em, JOIN 'em. :p

If you have the opportunity to donate to Locks of Love, by all means - do it! You'll feel good, they'll feel good, everybody feels good. Win/win.

Yep. Covering gray? Highlights for the WIN!
Not super noticeable, but not obviously gray. I'll take it!

Chop Chop!

Every 16 – 18 months I get a haircut. I don’t wait that long because I’m a slacker, that’s just a bonus. I donate a ponytail usually about 13-15 inches long to Locks of Love.
Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides prosthetic hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss.
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 and quite a large number is from the treatments for different types of cancer. The prostheses they provide for kids helps to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.
Donated hair has to be at least 10 inches from tip to tip.
It can’t have been bleached (permed or colored is ok) and it has to be secured in a ponytail or braid by an elastic band.

Here’s my before and after from this time:
