Locks of Love

Before...

...and after.

Emmy had 8 inches of hair cut a couple days ago; she is donating it to Locks of Love. It is enough hair to make a boys hairpiece (it takes 10 inches of hair to make a girls hairpiece). They use between 6 to 10 different peoples hair together to make one wig and none of the hair you send gets thrown away. If you send less than 10 inches of hair and they don't need a boys hairpiece at that time, they will sell it to offset manufacturing costs. I did cringe a little bit when Wendy cut the first ponytail off, even though I had been planning on doing this for a long time. Emmy really likes her new haircut!

Emily looks adorable! Sydney donated to Locks of Love a few years ago. It's something so simple and can make one child very happy!
