Hey everyone...I cut my hair today! I have always had VERY long straight hair and decided to cut it above my collar before it started falling out. I thought it would be hard but nope....I love it. I just may have a new style when it grows back. Just a step closer to losing my hair...I hope this makes it easier.

    Good for you
    Losing hair is hard for sure, but you have a good attitude about it. Looking forward to a new style will help sustain you. Good luck to you, Sam.

    You go girl!
    Big leap. Now is your chance to test the waters with shorter styles. May find one you like better than your long hair. I have long hair too and I think it is way easier to play with shorter hair...it's bouncier!! ♥Pammy
