about a year ago, i got restless and spontaneously decided to cut off 10+ inches of hair. after that, i developed what michelle williams refers to as the 'short hair disease', which means i repetitively requested that my hairdresser go 'just a little bit shorter this time', until i got to the point where another inch would have meant demi moore in g.i. jane.
good movie. bad hairstyle. (actually, bad movie. worse hairstyle. stellar cheekbones, though.)
so this is me, pleased and post-pixie (thanks to jenn kim at swagger)- but what made me even happier was the letter i recieved a few months ago in the mail informing me that my hair was accepted and used to make a wig for a woman living with cancer. i had successfully donated 4 ponytails (all this thick italian hair was finally good for something) through pantene's beautiful lengths program! i know that most people are more familiar with locks of love, but i chose beautiful lengths after doing some research and comparing the two. when i told a friend of mine about pantene's program and how they only require 8 inches as opposed to the 10 inches l.o.l. requires, she went out and chopped off all of her lovely hair, too (whoever gets her hair is one lucky gal)!
so if you or your friends are ready for a new, shorter 'do' or even considering jumping on the pixie band-wagon, check out their site and see if you meet the requirements for donating... here's why: it's just hair. it grows back. you probably usually put it in a ponytail anyways. and it could make someone really really happy.

loving the pixie cuts. it really is a short hair disease. everytime i think i'll start growing it out, i end up cutting it even shorter.
