P to the W to the C

What does that spell? Post-wedding chop!

P to the W to the C :  wedding hair 2010 01051 2010-0105

I did it, everyone. I had to. It was down to my waist and I couldn’t stand the static, tangles, and hair-always-in-my-way. It was heavy, unhealthy, and ready for a trim.

(sorry for the blurry picture. taken on a phone!)

But, instead of a trim, Ms. Buttons and Heidi Klum inspired me to get back to my high school days and go short!

Drum roll please…

I’m donating my 10+ inches to Locks of Love, a non-profit that makes hair prosthetics for financially-disabled youth with long-term medical hair loss. Donating is very, very simple to do. Here are the rules:

  • Hair must 10 inches from tip to tip
  • It must be sent in a braid or a ponytail
  • It must be sent dry: have your stylist braid it and chop away, then wash and re-cut
  • The hair can’t have graced the floor

The new ’do will take some getting used to but at least Mr. CB says he likes it more than my long hair.

Will you be chopping your hair after your wedding?

Your hair looks fantastic like this. It’s much more flattering now than it was before.

I hate long hair on me but I’m growing mine in preparation of my wedding in August so that I can put it back nicely. However, as soon as we get back from the honeymoon I’m chopping it off.

You look beautiful!! The haircut is really nice.

And yes…after my wedding in April, I want a cut similar to this but maybe a bit shorter and more angled. Haven’t decided yet.

Gorgeous!!

Wow, your hair was so long! I always wish mine could get there, so I have a tough time when I see people chop theirs off ;). But short suits you, and it looks great!

I honestly hadn’t been planning on chopping my hair after the big day, but after seeing your “after” picture, I just might change my mind. Super cute cut!

Absolutely love it!

I will definitely be one for the PWC. My wedding is six months away and my hair is about the same length as yours.

I’ve bookmarked Locks of Love for my future chop!

Pretty! I desperately need a haircut again after my own PWC and I think I’ll bring yours to my stylist :)

love your haircut!! I doubt I’ll have 10 inches to cut off after my wedding, but if I ever had enough, I’d definitely donate to locks of love!!

OMG I’m a little sad because I LOVE redheads with loong gorgeous hair, and you definitely have it. But, that said, your short cute is SO cute and you look absolutely gorgeous, as always!

You have the face for any haircut; this is really cute.

Still pretty jealous of your long hair though!

I think you look amazing with both long and short hair! Just please promise to never ever color your hair (or if you do color it, keep it that color. It’s sooo beautiful!)

It’s so adorable on you! I always get itchy to chop off my hair when I see pictures like this, but I have to resist! My hair doesn’t do “short” well!
