A few days ago, my mom took me to the hairdresser to get my hair cut. Last summer, Sarah and I convinced my youngest sister Hannah to cut her hair and donated it to an organization called Locks of Love. Hannah was the first in our family to get her hair cut because my hair was not long enough. Before I cut it, my hair was twelve inches long. To donate you need your hair to be at least 10 inches or longer. Locks of Love makes wigs and hair pieces for children that have lost their hair. I had wanted to have a short hair cut and was glad that it also could help a child who doesn't have hair receive a wig. I now have very short hair and I think I like it even better. 
When my mom was in 2nd grade, she also cut her hair. Here are some photos of hair when it was long and short. Which hair cut do you like better? She has never had short hair after that.
