Hair Donation|| Update Hair Loss + Hair Cut!

Hi Guys, 

So the last time I did my updated Hair Donation I told you all about how it was falling out and I was on iron tablets and how my doctor told me to cut my hair off!! I found it very hard to even consider getting it cut if it wasn't for the charity! I was really upset at the thoughts of cutting it and trowing it away after spending over 2 years growing it for a charity that I truly wanted to help just made my heart ache, but in the end after talking to family & friends and even after that it took me two weeks to finally say " okay, I need to do this and take better care of my hair and myself & I can always  do something else for the charity" it killed me knowing I was cutting it but knew it was for the best. 

Last week I went to the hair dressers and explained to her why I was cutting so much hair off, why it was so long, what I was planning on doing with it and I asked for some tips on how to take care of it. 

While she was cutting the back of my hair I was fine but as soon as she start cutting the front and I could see my lovely hair was gone I think reality hit and I realized that I had made the right choice and it was best for me but I just felt my heart beating so fast and I started to panic a bit. It's mad how attached we get to our hair lol 

I'm really happy with my hair I really love it, it looks a lot more healthier and stronger & I think it suits me more:) 

But the kicker... The biggest kick in the teeth of all time!! 

My hair wasn't even falling out!!!! It was breaking!! After it being cut my hair dresser looked at my roots and said that my hair was breaking half way up and wasn't falling out from the root, that with a bit of care, a good trim and more of a healthier diet with plenty of water my hair would have been okay:(((( 

But I'm not one to cry about it! It's done and that's it, no point in saying " Oh if she noticed it sooner or all the what if's " 
I'm going to organize something nice for charity to raise money for them, my hair my be gone but not my love for helping. 

I'm going to have more fun with my hair now and not be afraid to change it up, so get ready to see some crazyish lol hair colour :) 

xXx

This is an old pic my hair had grown a bit more probably about 2-3 more inches it was down to my hip by the time I was getting it cut.  

The new Do!! ;-) Really liking it might get an inch or 2 off it again. Feels and looks healthier.

Hair Donation Update

Hi Guys,

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/10167335/?claim=96yeuz7uqdx">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>


I'm getting so nervous about cutting my hair!! I think I have just gotten so used to it that ill miss it when it's gone. I know it's only hair but I just have been growing it for about 1-2 years now, I know I give out about it and it drives me mad when washing and drying it but ill still miss it lol 

When my hair is down fully its to the top of my bum its about 23in maybe 25in my tape measuring skills aren't the best. I still haven't found a charity that I wish to donate it to as most of them do not take coloured hair, so if you know of one that does please let me know.  As soon as I get it cut I will be growing it again to donate it all over again. I think that it is such a great thing to do. When you think of it we cut our hair and its thrown in the bin when you could donate it and makes someone's life a whole lot better. 

To help my grow quicker I have been using little or no heat at all on it. I will let it dry nearly every time I wash it once or twice I will blow dry it if I'm in a hurry. I try not to use many products on it to. Just shampoo and conditioner and that's it most of the time. 

I decided to donate my hair 2 years ago it wasn't a hard decision for me. My nanny was diagnosed with cancer and I thought to myself that if she lost her hair I would give her mine as I was growing it for that purpose anyway, I just never in a million years thought it would be for a family member. My nanny was one of the lucky ones she didn't lose her hair and she has been given the all clear this year from cancer, which we are all so thankful for. 



It annoys me when people find out I'm donating my hair and think I must be making money from it!! I am not making any money from this! I am donating my hair to a charity, the only thing I am getting from this is knowing that I have done a good thing for someone I don't know. I may also be doing a fundraiser but I haven't made any plans or thought it trough yet but I will keep you all updates on my plans.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post:)

Bad Hair Day!

Hi Guys, 

So it nearly 1am here and I can't sleep so I thought I'd do a little post about my hair! 

I washed my hair today and it just annoyed me at how much hair was in the plug hole!! It seams to be growing pretty well but I do have some concerns with it. I have noticed that the hair along the top of my forehead and left side of it to look to be either falling out or thinning!!:( The past few weeks I have been noticing it and its been really getting me not down but just a tad concerned about it. I was thinking that maybe I should try the viviscal 3 month trail to see how my hair takes to it but when I looked it up on line it is pretty expensive and the bottles aren't that big and with my hair being so long I wouldn't get 3 weeks out of them let alone 3 months!! I'm going to go to my local chemist on the next few days and see what's out there to help my hair. 

I really want my hair to be at its best for when I'm donating it. I would hate to think my hair is in bad shape and wouldn't be any good. 

Ill do a full update on my hair donation soon with photos of how long it is an how much will be cut off :) 

Take Care Nighty :)
