For the New Year, Sara said she wanted to cut her long locks and donate it to the Locks of Love organization. It was past waist-length and I cut off about 18 inches. She still has at least that much left. Sara said she did not like the split ends, thus prompting the decision. It had grown for four years, when last she donated to Locks of Love.
When I asked her why she wanted to cut her hair, she said, "So I can flip it!" as she did so with her hand. Three-foot hair is hard to flip. Here is the link to the website. I've donated at least three times when my hair was darker; this is Sara's second or third time.
It's a good way to start the New Year.
