Share Your Hair!
Hi all!
My brother, Brenton, and I would like to invite anybody and everybody to grow your hair out with us!
Why, you might ask?
Over the summer, I really wanted to put together a huge event where people came to donate their hair to a cause. I told Brenton about it, and he was quickly on board! However, we soon realized that this would take a lot of planning, support, and effort that we feel like we don’t have at the moment. However, we still want to donate our hair!
Here are the details.
It takes about 6 to 10 ponytails and/or braids to make a hairpiece. Our goal is to get at least six people to donate hair long enough to be included in a hairpiece. BUT, if you don’t have hair long enough and you would still like to participate, we will be shaving heads or giving girls short hairstyles (I guess a girl can shave her head if she reeeally wants to… Totally up to you! :]).
What do you need to do to your hair in order to donate it?
—Hair needs to be cut, stored, and sent in a ponytail or braid.
—The ponytail needs to be at least 8 inches long pulled straight.
—Donated hair can’t be chemically treated or permanently dyed.
—Girls: Always condition your hair after shampooing in order to keep it in good shape, and don’t brush it when it’s wet! Use a wide-toothed come in order to prevent as much damage as possible!
—Boys: I guess you should always condition your hair too. :P
We’ve decided to donate our hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths and this is where these donation requirements are from.
**We would also like to let you know that we won’t be starting until November. We will be in a wedding in the beginning of November, so Brenton can’t be rockin’ the Jon Foreman hair.
**We won’t start until November 6th, but you can start now! :] **
The estimated time we will be cutting our hair is May 2012, but the date is negotiable.
Let us know if you would like to join us in donating/radically cutting your hair! We would love for you to experience this with us! :]
Sincerely,
Brenton and Larissa
