It was the right time and the right place. Alfredo’s Salon of hair design stylist, Lisa, knew why I was there.

 

Five months ago when I wanted to find a hair salon, a friend told me about Alfredo’s.  Lisa listened to me and said to come back in three months. My hair donation had to be at least ten inches long and needed to grow a bit more.

 

Yesterday was the day. Lisa cut five lengths of hair off my head. I now sport a curly mostly dark brown mop with a drizzle of silver at my temples. I am sure I will get used to my now bare neck feeling exposed.

 

I did it for cancer survivors and those fighting it. Wherever my hair goes, whomever benefits from it, it is the one best thing I could do besides donating money.  It keeps me humble and grateful  I can make a small contribution to  women and children diagnosed with cancer and honor those I’ve loved and lost to it.

 

I will be donating to Locks of Love and encourage you to give it a try. My stylist, Lisa, sent me home with my hair and I will package it up and mail it out, adding plenty of prayers and blessings.
