Getting my wig ready

Well, technically it's not a wig for me, but there is going to be a wig of my hair soon!  I put together my lovely hair package today to send off to Pantene Beautiful Lengths in the mail tomorrow.  PBL creates wigs for women that have lost their hair due to medical conditions, and the wigs are provided to the women for FREE.  According to their website, they've collected over 272,000 ponytails for wigs.  You can add my 3 more ponytails to that number!

The 2 top ponytails are from my recent pixie; the bottom ponytail is from surgery.  Sadly, another big chunk of hair from surgery was way too tangled to send in.  :*(

I chose PBL over Locks For Love for a couple of minor reasons.  One, LFL gives their wigs to kids and I wanted to have my hair go to a woman (I hope that doesn't sound anti-kid, as that's not my intention).  Us women need wig love too!  Second, LFL makes the recipients pay for their wigs based on a sliding scale depending on what the family can afford.  I liked that PBL gives theirs out for free.  And third, sometimes I like a good underdog, and I think that the Pantene program is probably always second fiddle to Locks For Love.  :)

Treat it well, Mr. Postman!

I may have stroked my lovely ponytails oh so briefly as I put my package together to send.  I miss my long hair for about 2 seconds each day and then I'm sooo excited about my new short 'do again.  :)

This is the bag that my hair from surgery came in.  Cracks me up!!

If any of you ladies or alterna-dudes out there are thinking about growing your hair long (minimum 8" ponytail for PBL) for donation purposes, I really recommend it!  Not only will it go to a fabulous cause, it's also a nice fresh start with the short hair.  But maybe I'm biased.  ;)

My short hair, in case you don't believe me...

Merry Christmas, friends!  Have a very lovely holiday!!
