Brooke's Locks of Love

If you haven't been living in a cave, you've heard of Locks of Love; People can donate their ponytails which are then used to make wigs for children who suffer from hair loss. Steph, Leann and Sam have all donated their hair before and when I noticed Brooke's hair getting longer and longer, I told her about it. She didn't hesitate! She was ready to go for it! I had read about a local ponytail drive for Locks of Love and it was going to give us just enough time to get Brooke's hair to the required minimum length, 10 inches. Anyone who participated in the ponytail drive could get a free haircut from any participating salon. So, being the opportunist and bargain shopper that I am, I signed Brooke up for an appointment at a fancy Park Avenue salon in Winter Park. Mom said their haircuts are normally $50 (yikes!).

Here's the before shot...

And here is the cutting of the ponytail!

Once she saw how short her hair was, she said, "I like it so much I think I'm going to cry!". It was so adorable! Ali was a cute little cheerleader for Brooke and told her over and over again that her hair looked so cute!

And here is the finished product and her 10 inches of sweet generosity.

Needless to say, I am endlessly proud of my girl.
