Don't Ask Me Why, Why I'm a Hairy Guy

Actually, you can ask all you want. I just noticed it's 4 months to the day since my last blog entry so I figured I should write something even if it's not earth shattering. I've been growing my hair for a little over a year and a half, but it's still not long enough. And just how long is long enough? Well, to donate it to charity, it has to be at least a 10-inch ponytail.

There are a number of charitable organizations that accept donations of human hair and use it to make wigs for people who lose their hair for medical reasons. The biggie is cancer treatment, but hair loss can also result from burns and a disease called alopecia.The charity I am leaning to is Angel Hair for Kids. They provide wigs free of charge for youth 19 and under who lose their hair for any of the above reasons.

When my hair is long enough, my barber will make it into a ponytail, tie off the other end and snip away. Many of his clients do this as well and he has pre-addressed envelopes to send the hair off in the mail. I think this is one of the neatest things a person can do for charity. Besides, in the meantime I feel like I'm getting away with something.

All together now: "Gimmee a head with hair, long beautiful hair!"
