I'm chopping my hair and need your help!
This year is a milestone year for me and I have made the decision to make a difference by cutting and donating my hair to be made into a wig for someone who has lost their hair due to a medical condition.
I'll be chopping off 36 cm on 31 October 2020.
Wigs cost families up to $6,000, lasting 1-2 years, meaning families can spend tens of thousands of dollars on the purchase of wigs throughout a child’s youth. By making a donation to Variety - the Children's Charity, you can help provide a wig or other vital equipment to a child in need. Thank you for helping kids in need.
My Updates
New hairstyle
Monday 30th Nov I’m sporting a new hairstyle and I’m loving it. It feels like liberation for my head. Been getting some headaches, maybe it’s me getting used to being less weighed down 🤪 Needing to work out how much shampoo and conditioner to use now.
Date set! Hairdressers booked!
Tuesday 24th Nov I got a date that I will be doing the big chop!
Delayed hair cutting as I got sick
Monday 16th Nov Work had been really busy and then we have a bit of a breather (with the demersal closure) for a couple of months. I booked out family on a holiday down south with another 2 of our mothers group families and we had the most enjoyable time away. Maisie caught a bug and being the sharing girl, passed it on to me so I’m sick and that stops me going anywhere public till I get better. The weekends are starting to get busy leading up to then silly season.... with another booking on the Saturday coming up (was going to book the hair salon to finally get my hair cut). So we will wait another 2 weeks... Share
Short hair style
Monday 26th Oct Looking for a short hairstyle. Have seen one that I like but not sure how it would suit my very dark Asian hair. Might need to add some colouring to it to make it stand out...? Share
Date moved to early november
Saturday 26th Sep I wanted to cut my hair ard my birthday but I didn’t think my hair is long enough (I wanted to have shoulder length hair) so I extended it for another month to cut at end of October.
Last day of my 30s 🤙
Saturday 26th Sep Today is the last day of being in my thirties. Imagine my mum 40 years ago still pregnant with me and having a 4yo... thanks mum!! Dad would have just started his practise. So would have been quite busy that year. Wow. It’s been 40 yrs dad!!
In memory of my childhood friend Paige
Sunday 13th Sep Found out recently a childhood friend passed away from cancer. It came as a big shock. We were really close when we were in primary school, doing projects together and hanging out at her house after school and weekends. We drifted apart after going to different high schools but still keep in touch with friends from our primary school days. I think my new hairstyle might be as short as yours Paige!Thanks for all the support
