Oooh, are they gonna make it into a wig?

I lost my hair for a few years due to leukemia and I had a ton of fun getting brightly colored wigs. Tho mine were the cheap kind and not made from real hair.

Edit: Yes, OP's hair is very beautiful, but some of y'all in the comment section should not be treating a shaved head like a tragedy. Makes those of us who didn't get a choice about it--ie the very people OP is trying to help--feel shitty.

Get you makeup done before you get it buzzed. My ex did that and it made her feel better about the situation. Just thought I’d mention it.

Can I ask who you are donating to? I was always told colored hair is not good to donate, but I guess that has changed after reading some of these comments. Wondering if graying hair is accepted more now as well. Used to be only accepted if it was under a certain percent of gray. I need to cut my hair this year and it was going to be my last time donating because of the graying. I'd gladly grow it out again if I knew someone would accept it.

Oh, and before I forget, I'm glad you reached your goal and good luck with the snip snip tomorrow! Hope it helps bring a smile to someone else! It costs nothing but shampoo (and hair dye I guess) to grow your hair out, but the benefits to others is immense. Thank You for being You!
