@ PERFECTLYFLAWED: Well, I guess I'm not officially 42 until Nov. 11th. If it's any consolation, I sure don't ACT my age but man do I feel it, lol!!
Wow, You've got some balls cutting all your hair off!

My hairs just passed my ass and It gets on my damn nerves.. id love to cut it.. but i think id have a heart attack , HAHA!
Seriously though, it looks
AMAZING! love it! :thumbup:
So in re: to locks of love. When my mother cut of her 46 inches of a pony tail ( Yes, 46 inches...lol) Thick, naturally curly, untouched by dyes. Locks of love practically fought the beauty parlor for it--who wanted to sell it for resell for wigs... she finally got it to locks of love, and they adored her long ass pony tail and were very grateful. I dont see why they would deny your hair unless its like super chemically fried and crunchy?!...
Id give Locks of Love a call, and bypass the beautician.
I can't donate it

(). It's color treated over bleached. That is what the disqualifier is.
The "on my nerves" is why I cut it. My desk I work at is an L shaped table. My office chair lines up perfectly with it so it just barely fits under. When I turn to get up, sometimes I forget to adjust my hair so when I try and stand, I discovered, quite painfully, that my hair had been locked firmly between the back of the chair and underside of the table and the force of me trying to stand up usually resulted in me falling back down and was quite painful.
Your mom sounds like my grandmother. I saw my grandma with her hair down, 4 years ago, for the first time in my life. She had a wide curl at the bottom of it that caused about 3" to come up off the floor...so her hair is about 5" longer than she is tall! How did your mom adjust to the dratsic change?
