Hair basics:
What color is your hair (you can include your natural or dyed color)?
Strawberry blonde (natural)
How long (or short) is your hair?
Just below my shoulders
What is the texture of your hair?
Thick and wavy
How often do you get your hair (erm, hairs
) cut?

When I get around it - every few months, sometimes up to 6 months apart
What style is your hair?
I leave it as is - I can't do much in the way of layering or anything like that because it just makes my hair seem fluffier
How do you most often wear your hair?
Either up in a ponytail or half up - I hate my hair being in my face. I straighten it and leave it down for special occasions.
Hair care:
How often do you shampoo your hair?
Every 2 days
Do you regularly use a conditioner?
Yep, every time
What shampoo and/or conditioner brand(s) do you use?
I just use Head and Shoulders shampoo because that's what hubby uses and my scalp gets dry, and Pantene conditioner
Do you use other products in your hair on a day-to-day basis?
Nope
What brand(s) of said products do you use?
None

I don't do much with my hair, I leave it pretty natural. I use to have it ultra short and bleach blonde and looking back it really didn't suit me. I regularly have people tell me they love my hair - it kind of drives me nuts because it's SO thick. I do love how it looks when it's straightened, but it takes forever to straighten it, and I like to save it for special occasions

No, I don't mind at all!
(Keep in mind my hair grows a lot faster than most people though, so depending on your daughter's body chemistry, her hair may grow back quick or it may take a little longer!) Donating is such a beautiful thing to do and it really makes a difference in the lives of people who have lost their hair!

(I used to donate regurally to Locks of Love until I did my research...NEVER again! I now donate to Panteen Beautiful Lengths. http://www.pantene.com/en-US/beautiful_lengths.jspx It's a well-run, wonderful organization that helps create real hair wigs for women who have lost their hair due to cancer! (it takes 6-10 hair donations to make 1 full hair piece depending on texture/etc....so donations are really important!) Panteen's program has made more wigs in the short few years their program has been running than Locks of Love has in over 10 years. (Locks of love also charges the families of the children who use their wigs "on a sliding scale"....Panteene doesn't charge the women who have gone through cancer and use their hair pieces. They are given hair pieces on a first come first serve basis. (If you want more details, just pm me....but anyways, after doing my research, I switched who I donate to
)

As far as my hair goes:
Me with my hairstylist right after I donated my hair in March 09'


My boyfriend Jack and I this week....it's not a full picture...but you can see my hair has already grown out!! (I'm getting it trimmed on Tuesday for Christmas. My next haircut after that I plan to donate again.)
