Our First Donated Ponytail!

It is only the 6th day of August and we've already received our first ponytail to go towards The Pink Curlers' Cut for Cancer!  We started this journey one month ago, and in this time we have six people who have volunteered for chopping off their hair for this great cause!

Yesterday, we had a new client, Jovana, at HBS Spa Life who mentioned she would love to help out and donate her hair to help make a wig for someone in need.  Here are Jovana's before and after pictures:







































Jovana was beautiful before she chopped off her hair, but now she is beautiful and a whole new woman! Remember this blog entry about making self changes to brighten up 'blah' days? Well, regardless of the excuse for wanting change, change can be a positive thing and can put that extra little boost in our steps, the gleam in our eyes, and the love in our hearts.  Bravo Jovana for taking such a big step and helping out someone in need!

I am so thankful to all the wonderful people who I am encountering on my journey. Stay tuned to hear more positive stories about new beginnings, continued successes and positive energies making their way to us.

Early on we discussed that I wasn't sure about where I wanted to donate my hair, because my intention was to donate it to an organization that creates wigs for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. However, there are organizations like Angel Hair for Kids™ who provide wigs and hair systems at no cost to children who may be undergoing cancer treatments, have alopecia or even burns.  Different organizations have varying hair donation guidelines - generally they will accept 10 - 12" of virgin hair or unbleached hair. Here are the guidelines for donating to Angel Hair for Kids™.
atWell, there's some hair for thought for you, friends!  Enjoy this lovely evening! And remember ... what is beauty? It's what you make of it - feelings, senses, pleasures. It’s who we are, how we got here, and the possibilities of where we can go and who we can become.

See you next time!
