Your right she does. Good Eye.

good for you! I did that two years ago and haven't regretted it for a minute. I could sit on my hair and had a ton of it and it was long for about 20 years so it's quite a shock when it goes, but what a good cause. You are very pretty, hair long or short.
Put Nair in his shampoo if he doesn't snap out of it fast.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! GOOD ONE ....That is sooooooooooo cold ! :D

first off I think it looks very good on you. Locks of love is one of my favorite charities. I have sent in hair myself (still growing it back out now) I have always told people about this in the shops I worked in and a lot of people dont' know about it at least around here. We were sending in about 2 ponytails a month when I left last year and my friends kept it up and have gotten several more that I still need to send in.


I can't believe your husband said that. Not that I'm trying to husband bash but.... I would tell him that I was going to remember what he said to me when he went bald and it wasnt' coming back (depending on how mad/hurt I felt I may have told him that after I put the nair in his hair gel/ conditioner.) I know a lot of guys use the "my dad still has hair and I'm not going to go bald" when you say something t them about going bald but they dont' seen to think that medical treatments and things can do the same thing.

He'll get over or he won't and you can tell him about some poor little 3 or 4 year old girl who has hair now because you SHARED yours. Sounds like bad karma to me. Would he think it was a better idea if it was one of you who needed the wigs or God forbid your child? sometimes people just need to be reminded of how much they really do have and how little a haircut really is (that is little to be mad about butI know it means an awfully lot to the child who will get it)

hopping off my soapbox now.

It looks great Val! My husband is weird about hair as well. He never, ever wants me to cut my hair. I always tell him, "you don't have to wash it, dry it, style it...it's a pain!" He'll get over it!

I LOVE IT!!! You look more professional yet younger and fresher! Very Up-Town Chic! It totally suits you! And I bet you feel so much more confident!

My hair is as long as yours and I wish I could cut it like that. I usually end up in a ponytail or pin it up in a bun cuz it gets in the way or I get too hot so what's the point in having it long? I keep it long for Dan. He adores my long hair ~ sigh ~ the things we do for our love. There's something about men and long hair that I will NEVER understand!

I'm sure your husband was just shocked. Kind of like how we feel when we pick up our babies after the groomer accidently cuts off too much of our kids hair. But we don't love the kids any less. Your husband will get over it too, he loves you too much to stay mad. But he may tease you about it so be prepared!

You look lovely and your friends will think so too.

Here's a reminder of why long hair sucks:

1. It's gets HOT!
2. It get in the way when you sleep
3. Hate it when it get caught between your back & the chair or car seat!
4. It takes FOREVER to dry
5. Ponytails and buns!
6. Get in they way during private time with your husband - very unsexy having to stop to move it out of the way or suffering with your head twisted in unnatural position due to your hair!

[QUOTE=Dan & Corinne]Kind of like how we feel when we pick up our babies after the groomer accidently cuts off too much of our kids hair.[QUOTE]Ha. True that, now I understand a little better, LOL!

And I'm so glad to be relieved from heavy ponytails and buns for a while! Hopefully I won't get as many migraines. My hair is so heavy and thick.

Take him to the cancer ward and show him the look on the little girl's (or boy's) face who gets that gorgeous hair.

I think you look stunning.

I love the new hair cut! You look great! I have long hair too and I've been thinking about cutting mine because it is getting soooo horribly hot out.

I think you look JUST LIKE Claire Daines when she was 18 and on MTV. I thought she was so pretty and I wanted to have hair just like that. But it wouldn't look right with my dark complexion. It looks so cute on you!

I LOVE the new look! And I agree 100% with everyone else....what an absolute great cause and reason behind the cut. Your unselfish act will now bring joy into the life of some lucky girl or boy. Don't doubt your decision and don't let anyone else cause you to doubt it either.

As for your hubby, I don't know what to say except I've been there before, but not as bad as what he's putting you through. My hubby didn't like my hair the first time (several years ago) I cut it short (or at least short for me). He whined and whined about how he liked the longer hair, wished I hadn't cut it, on and on and on!!! I finally told him that I liked it, it was easier on me, and besides, last time I checked, HE wasn't the one dealing with my hair each day - shampooing, drying, brushing, etc. I told him if he liked long hair, grow his out or get a wig to wear - then he'd see! Now he just rolls with the flow when I get a "wild hair" and cut my hair in a different style. Friends will ask what he thinks and his response now is, "It's her hair, if she likes it, I like it and besides, as she tells me, I'm not the one dealing with it." Best of luck to you with hubby - I'm sure he'll calm down and come to see how truly beautiful your new cut is:)

My Mom passed away of cancer when I was a teenager so I applaud you for doing what you did. I think your husband has lost sight of the reason behind you cutting your hair and that's to help people who at no fault of their own don't have any hair. I like the idea of taking him to the cancer ward to see young people who are sick. My Mom would never show us her bald head she always wore wigs because she was embarrassed, because of your generosity and caring you will help someone not be embarassed. I think you are great for doing that!

I agree! Great post!

I think your hair looks really cute. I am sorry your husband Isnt taking the change well. I am sure he will come around

I think it's a wonderful cause and agree you look smashing. Sorry, hubby is being an a$$ regardless of why. It's time to point out the obvious...all the pouting, and door slamming is NOT going to bring the hair back.

Btw, do you catch yourself stopping at your reflection in a mirror...just who is the woman?

Val, you did a wonderful thing. Too bad you are married to a man that has "lapsed" back into a temper tantrum childhood...LOL He will get over it. My hair was down to my butt and my hubby WANTED me to get it cut. So I agreed to do it and cut half of it off. Locks of Love would not return my email asking about color treated hair so we threw it all away. That bothered me more than anything that they never answered me either way and the hair was wasted. Even if they could not use it, I felt they should have let me know...anyways...you look great, I love the new "do" and it WILL grow back...and then you can send your hubby into orbit and DO IT AGAIN!!! You are a beautiful girl and did a beautiful thing for another beautiful child in the world who is not as fortunate as yourself. You made a sacrifice that benefits another...YOU ROCK!!! Eli will come around...they always do!
