Locks of Love Hair Cutting Day!

Sunday was the official "Locks of Love" hair cutting donation day!! What an exciting time - I ended up cutting his hair myself, believe it or not! My cousin wasn't able to do it and I guess we could have gone to my hairdresser last minute, but we wanted to video tape it and take pics. I looked up how to do it, and off we went! First, I sectioned his hair off into pieces:

Here is a view of the back (you can see Bryan with the video camera):

Next, we started cutting with the shears, but they pulled too much so I switched to scissors. I also put hair bands halfway down and towards the end to really secure his hair well. Here he is halfway there:

Halfway there!

Here he is completely done (with Bandit standing guard by the window in the background):

All gone!

And here is my handsome boy who just completed a wonderful deed to help others:

Handsome boy who did a mitzvah!



Here is the bundle of hair that I will mail off to Locks of Love. As you can see, we got quite a bit!


Hair to be donated



Jarett, I am so proud of you! Words cannot express the love, honor and respect that I feel inside for you. You are a special boy with an extraordinary heart. I admire your compassion for others and hope others strive to learn from your kindness to make this world a better place. Love, Mommy

  1. I agree - what a good heart and a kind gesture. I just have to say that the pre-cutting hair "do" looked very much like something from an 80's hair band! ;-) -lppurl
