Check out the new avatar - I chopped off the curls for Locks of Love and then did a dye job just for kicks and giggles, and (poof) this is the new look!

I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

That's awesome - I really admire people who do that for others

I wish I could but my hair is way too short and grows way too slowly.

Posted: 4/25/05 at 6:35pmhow much did you cut off? Do you love it? When my sister did it, there was a day of transition where NO ONE was allowed to talk to her about her hair...

Posted: 4/25/05 at 6:37pmMy aunt, cousin and one of my good friends did this. I think it's great when people do.... I did it when I was much younger (and had hair past my butt). I hate to say that now I'm a bit too attached to my hair (and look really badly with short hair -- not to mention I might fear dismemberment from my bf) to do it again.

Posted: 4/25/05 at 6:56pmLOL... it was weird. When it was long it was always in my face and so I would just do the hair-toss thing with a swing of my head... well, okay, now it's such a habit that I still do the toss, but no hair tosses, so I just look like I have a psycho head twitch.

Very similar to my rule. Actually, it was last spring break, I went home and was there for two days, then got my hair chopped off for Locks of Love on my way to the airport to meet a friend in L.A. So luckily, the only person who saw my hair before I was okay with it was her (and my dad who drove me to the airport). I'm totally loving the short hair though, and it was for a good cause, so I'm totally glad I did it!

Why do we run our fingers through the flame?
Why do we leave our hands on the stove, although we know we're in for some pain?

Posted: 4/25/05 at 7:18pmYay Jess... it is fun. Though wasn't it strange to see the stylist hold a big ponytail of severed hair in her hand, and then make the connection... "wait - that's MY hair!"

Soooo disturbing. And they're like, yeah, we take of 10 inches, and what you don't realize is that means they're actually going to take off 12. Yikes!!

I was about 8 when I did it... just decided I'd had it with long hair and wanted an easy, pixie type hair cut. When I told my stylist what I wanted, she suggested donating it.
My father had taken me to get it done.... I remember walking into the kitchen when we got home and my mother was doing the dishes. She had a glass in her hand and a towel inside the glass drying it; she took one look at how much hair I'd cut off and shattered the glass. It was pretty amusing, actually.

See, when I was little, my mom kept trying to convince me to cut it short because brushing through it was an absolute nightmare (my hair is very thick and very curly); she would usually have to yank through it with a brush and I would sit and cry. Okay, that sounds more abusive than it actually was, but no amount of detangler would ever help. Finally I did get it cut short... my freshman year of high school... And now, again.

"not to mention I might fear dismemberment from my bf"
You mean you fear dismemberment by your bf...and me. We've been through this. Your hair isn't going anywhere.
But that's a great cause.

Posted: 4/25/05 at 10:04pmGood for you! I did likewise in November. Oddly enough, even though I got 11 1/2 inches cut off, it didn't faze me at all. I only wish Locks of Love could send you a pic of the child who received your hair, and the lovely new wig that it became.

Posted: 4/26/05 at 12:45amWait... You get your hair cut off and send it to people? Isn't that some kind of health hazard? I can't say I've ever heard of it before. How does this work?
