Why Iām cutting off my hair šāāļø
Well itās almost the end of our first month in 2025. In a little over a week Iām headed to my favorite salon in Clearwater, FL to cut all of my hair off. Iāve got very thick hair and itās naturally wavy/curly. Itās balayaged blonde with smudged roots (that are honestly grown out now). My hair has been growing incredibly fast lately, like Iām talking 3-6 inches every 2-3 months. Everyone has always told me that my hair is one of my best assets and I do love it! Now onto the reasons why Iāve decided to do the big chop:
āļøI found an organization that will make my hair into a wig for a child with cancer or alopecia. They have a few stipulations, the main ones being they need at least 8-10 inches, and it must be in good condition (can be dyed/bleached but must still be strong and thick which mine is).
-when I found this organization I got chills down my spine, can you imagine a kid who feels insecure and upset because theyāve lost their hair to be able to have a wig made of my hair?! 1000000% yes.
āļøTo show my girls that appearances change, but itās whatās on the inside that makes you who you are. My girls are 10 and 6, and like most kids they tend to focus on appearances and what people look like, so as their mom itās my job to teach them that itās peopleās souls that are what we see and what we fall in love withā¦not their face, hair, eyes, etc.
āļøIām ready for a change. Plain and simple, Iāve had long hair past my mid back for years now. Iām ready for something different!

Cutting off long hair can be a significant decision, often filled with emotion and purpose. Many individuals choose this path for various reasons: personal empowerment, a fresh start, or as a way to make a difference in someone else's life. Donating hair to organizations that create wigs for children battling cancer or those with alopecia not only provides a valuable resource but also helps instill a sense of hope and confidence in young individuals facing hair loss. It's a beautiful way of connecting one's personal journey with community support. Furthermore, changing hairstyles can serve as a reminder to embrace change, symbolizing growth and the importance of inner beauty over physical appearance. As we navigate through life, teaching younger generations the significance of character and kindness over superficial judgments is vital. A simple act like cutting hair can become a powerful lesson in resilience, empathy, and self-image. Moreover, many people report feeling liberated after making such a significant change to their appearance. Whether it's shedding old hair or old sentiments, a haircut can bring about feelings of rejuvenation and readiness to tackle new challenges. So, if you're contemplating a similar transformation, consider the many potential benefits it could hold beyond just a change in look.
