It took me over a year to grow out my hair, and I took extreme good care of it. I've never had short hair before, and I personally like the look of long hair on myself. But I've wanted to do this for so long, and Im willing to wait until my hair grows back. The reason why I've wanted to do this for so long is that I have Juvenille Diabetes, and I know what it's like to have an illness that changes your life. Although it isn't as bad as cancer, or any severe illness, it isnt the greatest thing in the world. I've heard stories of children who've had it from an extremely young age. It's saddest to hear children having any medical problems. I've always loved children, which is why I hope to become a pediatrician or child psychologist. Helping and working with children is something I've always loved and wanted to do.
I was so nervous when going to cut! I've never had short hair in my life, so I was extremely frightened. But, my hair is somewhat long, and I love the fact that I have sidebangs(: I was aiming for a mod 60's choppy haircut, and that's what I got!
I am really happy with the experience overall. I feel so much joy knowing that a poor girl (or possibly boy) is going to receive a wig with my hair. I hope that he/she enjoys my hair :D
