Hair Confessions: Major Hair Makeover?

In exactly one week I will be cutting my hair, now I'm not talking a trim, I'm talking nine inches lopped off at once.  I will be donating my hair with a group of former co-workers to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths program.  While this kind of change is a little nerve-wracking I am excited by the prospect of changing up my look.  In preparation for the big chop I have been scouring magazines and the internet for inspiration.  In one of those internet fueled expeditions I happened on Instyle's Hollywood Makeover, an extension of their web-zine that let's you "try on" the hair looks of today's hottest Hollywood celebs.  I had tried this type of hair try on before, but I thought it would be fun to record and share my results this time.

Hair Confession: The Long and Short of it.

Current hair - length; super long, style; nada.

For over a year I have been growing my hair out.  Not just for the purpose of having long hair (it has been fun though), but my ultimate goal was to be able to donate it to an organization that creates wigs for people with hair loss from medical treatments or genetic diseases.  I have a list of organizations ( I haven't chosen one yet, suggestions?) and the minimum requirements for donating hair are, eight to ten inches of healthy un-dyed hair.  I have both, as you can see from the picture above.  It will be a year in June and while that still gives me a couple of months to grow my hair, I have already started thinking about what hair style I want to rock after the big chop.
