Rylie Donates Her Hair June 2008

Rylie heard from a friend over a year ago that you could cut your hair and donate it to Locks of Love. Once Rylie knew that she could do a good thing for someone who was in need, she didn't hesitate. It didn't surprise me because that's just how she's always been, very compassionate. So, we began the process of growing it out, making sure that we kept it trimmed up enough so that there were no dead-ends. It didn't take long before we had at least 10 inches (which is the requirement) to donate. We made an appointment with my life-long friend and hair stylist, Marissa, and had it done. Once we got it washed and into a pony tail, we discovered that she had a full 12 inches to donate. One little snip and the process began. Boy, she has thick hair! Rylie proudly held up her pony and offered a huge smile. She says she feels like a new woman and can't wait to grow it back out and donate it again! We are very proud of her and hope that her beautiful hair will help someone else feel beautiful too.
