One of the millions of benefits of having so many girls
is the amount of hair we get to donate to Locks of Love through Great Clips!
"Mary Hannah" decided she wanted to do it after 2 years growth on her hair!
I was sad at first when she decided this week she wanted to do it,
but after seeing her just blossom and bloom with her new cut
it just fits her spunky personality!
Hmmmm....should I do it?
Yep! I've done it!!
(don't you just want to give it a mess up?)
Because Kari asked, she shall receive!! (the back view!)
Because Kari asked, she shall receive!! (the back view!)
In the end, she ended getting 14-16 inches cut off total!
She likes that she "messes it up" to fix it!
What a beautiful gift for someone who truly needs it. I am so inspired by Mary Hannah's generosity... and I am super wowed by her haircut!!! Goodness, is that ever CUTE!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is a cutie pie! And I'm not so sure about how generous it actually was, she wanted it short anyway!! It's kind of a bonus!
DeleteLove the haircut and donating to Locks of Love!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun!
DeleteWow, she looks so old after the hair cut! You should look into Wigs for Kids too. That's who I donated my hair to a few years back. They give the wigs away for free to children with any type of hair loss (cancer, alopecia etc) where as LOL only gives to children with permanent hair loss (meaning those with cancer likely aren't eligible) Just another option to look into! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Allison!! With 6 kids, we go with what's easy, and that is Great Clips, because they take care of everything, and it's free!
DeleteYour girls look so cute and such a great cause! I love this!
ReplyDeleteIt's gotta be so gratifying to know that all that hair that falls on the floor will not be swept up and thrown away like other hair, but used to give someone else a gift....(BTW, I know that they don't actually let the hair fall on the floor when they're going to re-use it for someone else. :-) But you know what I mean!)
ReplyDeleteOh. my. gosh.
ReplyDelete"Mary Hannah" looks so grown, and that cut is just perfect on her!!
Way to go, you sweet girl!! :-)
When I saw her long hair at church, I wondered if she was going that route....good for her! She looks absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks Laura!! It's fun to see such a drastic change. The hairdressers love doing these kind of cuts!
DeleteNow that is super cute! That cut is perfect on her and she looks so grown up. Very sweet.
ReplyDeleteI know, she looks at least 12 now!! She is as tall as her 11 year old sister! (she's only 9)
DeleteWow wow wow, she does look awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you, she does!
DeleteOh my word!! She looks great in short hair! It seems to fit her personality? Spunky? She looks spunky and fun and sweet and a go getter!
ReplyDeleteOH, Patty, she is!! A total go getter!!!!
DeleteI LOVE IT!!!! Sorry for shouting, Jamie...I just love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd the idea behind it too.
Please tell her my Madison...the aspiring cosmetologist...absolutely loves it too! : )
I will tell her!! That is so fun!! Look out mama, she will be experimenting on you--you know!!
DeleteOh my goodness -- that cut suits her perfectly! How darling, and yet, so grown up! And what a selfless act!
ReplyDeleteThe hairdresser said she came in 9 and went out 19!! She does look older somehow!
DeleteOH, and I don' t know how selfless it was, she wanted it cut that short anyway!
DeleteShe looks so sweet! Our Anna tried to donate hers last month, but was an inch short of the requirement. We are giving it another month, then going back in!
ReplyDeleteYay, that will be fun to see--assuming you will post pictures!!
DeleteI love it! She looks so pixie! I applaud her.
ReplyDeleteI have had long hair forever and wonder what I would look like if I did that? It sure seems like their hair grows so fast and they do have thick hair.
The hairdresser wouldnt even take MY thin hair!
pretty pretty pretty!
I have a hair post coming up also!
I heard they take any kind of hair, if it's thin it just takes longer to get a full wig. It took her 2 years! Can't wait to see your post on hair!
DeleteHow cute! I'd like to see the back too.
ReplyDeleteKari, ask and you shall receive! I added a back view picture!

ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed that your girls donate their hair! What a beautiful act of charity :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a good example, however, she did already want it to be cut short, so not really much of a sacrifice!!
DeleteBravo for her! She looks adorable in her new do and what a great blessing to someone who's had a tough journey already.
ReplyDeleteShe wanted it cut anyway, might as well donate it!
DeleteSt. Therese was all about little sacrifices, so even though you don't think it is. It really shows her character for it to be her thought!
ReplyDeleteWell, it was actually my thought, more because it was a "free" cut than anything...isn't that terrible?
DeleteJamie,
ReplyDeleteCandice was here today with her kids (Daddy had another commitment, and the weather is so lousy...) and I showed her this post. (Remember Candice is a licensed cosmetologist...)
She loves it!! Says its the perfect cut for "Mary Hannah's" features!! Her exact words were, "Oh how CUTE!" Just thought you'd like to know... ;-)
I love that the new cute brings out her eyes, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow cute!!!
