26 September 2013 Eight Inches

A while ago (a long while ago…) Sam announced that she wanted to grow her hair long and donate it to Locks of Love. Two of her friends have done it and it sounded like a great idea at time (oh so long ago).

We have regular battles about hair care now. Our solution of late has been to keep Sam’s hair in braids nearly all the time, hence the usual Pippi Longstocking look. That seems to keep the tangles somewhat under control.

This morning, though, I convinced her to let me measure her hair and then give it a tiny trim to straighten some of the edges and hopefully stimulate more hair growth. She has about 8 inches that we could easily cut to donate, just two shy of the 10 inch minimum.

Grow, hair, grow!
