Hi Honey Bees,
I saw a post on Instagram, which was like a sign to me since I take everything as a sign. It was a sponsored post about little girls with Cancer and how this charity, called Little Princess trust take your unwanted/donated hair and transform them into beautiful wigs for these little girls.
Some of these girls are terminally ill and don’t have long left to live, so something as small as a wig can help make their journey a little bit more bearable. I think hair is something we all really take for granted considering it is one of the most noticeable features about a person and often adds to our beauty. The thought of losing our own hair has never occurred to us, but imagine going through harsh chemotherapy sessions and losing your locks, especially as a little girl. I think it can be a terrifying and traumatic experience.
I decided to grow my hair out until I could bear no more the struggle of only washing it once a week and carrying the weight of it on my shoulders. I was so careful with my hair during this phase, I would oil it once a week, avoid unnecessary hair washes and even avoided the hair dryer and limited the use of straighteners and styling wands.
I have very thick hair, for work when I used to tie it into a bun, it would strain my neck over the course of the day, so I came to the point where I couldn't manage it anymore. I decided to cut my unruly roots in November 2019, a couple weeks before my birthday so it settled nicely. I gathered over 13 inches of hair and packed it into a small box and sent it off to little princess trust.
