Happily Ever Mock

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

October 27, 2014

Good morning friends! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! If you are an avid reader of my blog, than you know I made a huge change over the weekend! On Saturday I cut 8 inches off of my hair to donate in honor of my mother to Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths.  
If you haven’t read about my Mom’s journey, you can do so here: http://initforthelonghaulbarb.blogspot.com/


I knew when my parents sat me down a few month’s before my wedding and told me that my mother’s cancer had returned, that I wanted to donate my hair.  So I started growing it just a few months after our wedding and finally now, it was long enough! Thank goodness by the way, because this 4 month’s postpartum shed has been driving me insane! Momma’s, can I get an Amen?


I made an appointment with my stylist, Tiffany with Shears To You and My parent’s came with me to watch the change (okay, my Dad mainly came to hold the baby, he’s not a fan of the short hair thing!) But I was so happy to have my Mom there! It really meant a lot!


Here are the pictures of my transformation:

Before, can you tell my hair was in a pony? lol

Here’s the big cut!
 Love Tiffany, girl cracks me up!
8 inches, gone!!!
Here is the finished look! I LOVE it! Thanks Tiffany!!!


Best picture of the day!(Which is why I saved it for last!) My Mom and I! 

I know My mother is going through a rough and scary time, and I was so thankful that she came with me! If you would keep my Mother in your thoughts or prayers, we would be thankful! She starts the process of a new treatment tomorrow! 
I love you Mom!
<3 Kelly

    Your hair looks great! I wish I could pull off the short look, but I just look like a 10 year old!
