This is part two of a previous post from Jun titled "Love Wins Over Vanity" I cut my hair two months ago after I found out that my friends husband had died from cancer. I wanted to do something to help, but being so far away from her I felt like I couldn't do anything. So I decided I would cut my hair. I'm not going to pretend to be humble, I have great hair, it's a fact. As of this morning I still had the braid I cut off. Did you catch that I cut it off TWO MONTHS AGO!? Maybe love didn't win over vanity as easily as I thought.
I just kept looking at it and thinking I should send it in to locks for love, but I couldn't let it go. I cried over it, debated calling the hairdresser up to ask if she could make extensions and put it back on, and refused to be ok with it. Well, we had a talk, myself and I, and I said to myself, "self, your being selfish keeping your hair. It means so much to you, your one great beauty, and you deny to others who have none. STOP IT!!!" Then I asked Heavenly Father to help my hair grow fast and help me keep it healthy and I would donate it again and again. Now that I could give it freely I finally mailed that beautiful, thick braid to locks for love and I challenge you to do the same. Did you know it takes 8-10 braids to make one wig!? Think about how much you love your hair, maybe you don't particularly like it, but would you want to be without it? Donating your hair is giving a gift you can still keep. You can give 8-10 inches of hair and still have it on your hair. I think that is awesome, how many gifts can you give and still keep? Anyway, look into it. There are a lot of agencies and they all have different requirements. Some say no dyes or perms, some are ok with one or both. Some want 8 inches, some want 10. Do your research and please give of your beautiful gift freely.
