Locks of Love!

Marlie and her friend Lauren have been growing their hair out for over a year now so that they can do Locks of Love.  Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

At first Marlie was nervous about cutting her hair.  So we got online and looked at the LOL website so I could show her the before and after photos of children with and without their wigs.  Then she seemed ok. 

Here are the girls a few weeks before the chop! I love long hair and both of their hair was gorgeous! But Mrs. Patty and I were ready to chop because the maintenance was getting crazy.  So many tangles!

Mrs. Megan was pretty nervous to cut their hair.  She said she was afraid that it might be a traumatic experience and possibly some tears.  But no way!  The girls were excited and smiled a lot!

The girls were so proud of themselves...it was funny.  We took them to Smashburger and Tutti Fruitti as a treat.  2 people commented on how cute their hair was!  And we have had comments from complete strangers ever since! 

Marlie we are so proud of you!  Marlie said she wants to do it again so we'll see!  It will probably be 2 years before it's long enough to cut again.
