L is for ... Lopping (It Off) & Locks of Love

Last Tuesday I went with my friends JJ and Danni to do something I've been aching to do for ages: cut off all my hair. I originally had shoulder length hair:


and cut it to this:


While I didn't have enough hair to donate any after it'd been cut off, my friend JJ cut off 10 inches (about 25.4cm) to donate to Locks of Love. There's a list here of other places you can donate hair to, as well, if you're looking into donating hair.

As well, while doing some quick research, I found out that April is the Canadian Cancer Society's to Fight Back, otherwise known as Daffodil Month. If you can, think about buying a daffodil from the CCS, to help both those fighting cancer and the beginning of spring. As soon as I arrive home, I'll be buying one to help out.

For those of you out there with short hair: suggestions for styling? Your favourite ladies with short hair? Your favourite accessories? Do's and don't's of the short hair. Send 'em all my way (well, our way, Khyri's a sporter of the short hair deal, too.)

Also: have any of you lovely people out there cut your hair for cancer before? If so, who did you donate to? What was your experience like? Would you do it again? Did you enjoy the switch from long to short hair?
