Sandy's Hair with Heart challenge

I cut my hair in 2019 thinking I’d donate it. It felt like the right thing to do. I didn’t really have a plan, just this gut feeling that someone else might need it more than I did. So I kept it. Braided it neatly. Put it in a ziplock bag.

And then... life happened. The bag sat in a drawer. For years.

But recently, I came across that photo of Harry Styles from 2016. You know the one, the chopped ponytail, the 'Whoops'.  Fans like me lost it when he posted that. At the time I remember being devastated because his curls were everything and suddenly they were just... gone. I didn’t think too deeply about it though, I just missed his hair but thought it was a cool thing he did.

Seeing it again now though? It hit completely differently. That post, no explanation, no dramatic caption just 'whoops', it was just Harry doing something kind and quiet. That’s what brought me back to my own little ziplock bag, tucked away and forgotten. And it made me feel like, okay, maybe now’s the time.

So I’ve finally decided to do it. I’m donating my hair and I’m also raising money for Variety, the Children’s Charity. They help kids who are sick, living with a disability, or doing it tough. My hair will go toward making a wig for someone who’s lost theirs, and the donations will help support more kids and families who need it.

If you’ve ever thought about donating your hair, whether it’s long enough or not, now or later... I say do it. And I know not everyone can donate hair, which is totally okay. That’s why I’ve set up this page, so people can still be part of it. Even the smallest donation helps make wigs, support families, and spread a bit of kindness. 

It’s all about those little moments of kindness, like Harry’s 'Whoops' and his message to Treat People With Kindness that I've always loved him for. Sometimes that’s all it takes to make someone feel seen and supported.

TPWK forever <3
