where should i put my hair?
July 5, 2010 - 10:16 am
as i come upon the two year anniversary of our moving to texas, i have something much more significant weighing on my mind – my hair! most of you who know me know that i only cut my hair once every two years. there are several reasons for this:
1) i know that it takes two years to grow my hair long enough to donate to “locks of love“, as i have several times in the past.
2) i appreciate having longer hair while i am “young”, knowing that as i grow older i will need to keep it short; however, i like short hair better (on everyone, if you’d like to know)!
3) i don’t do anything with my hair. most women i know style, color, curl, or do something with their mop. the best i can manage is to pull it back in a pony tail for work.
but as i approach my shearing, i have learned that there is another worthy cause in which my hair could serve a purpose. the massive oil spill on the east coast this year has spawned a need for innovative (all be it low tech) solutions. the company matter of trust has set up a donation system so that people can send hair, fur, used nylons, and many other types of materials to help with the oil spill cleanup. (for more details on how that works, please see the website. i am a vegan, environmentally concscious mom, not a scientist.) i am curious to know what you all think – where should my hair go, to the oil spill, or to locks of love?
