After two years of dedicated work, I finally grew the 10 inch minimum that Locks of Love required. That was both fun and difficult depending on the day. Especially the last year, which was full of "bad hair days."

Joy with stylist Erin Campbell from The Loft Hair Design in Escondido, CA. Make your own hair appointment today -- 106 W. Grand Ave.,92025 (760) 741-5638 

The ponytail being cut off. Oh my!

 

The official length was just shy of 12 inches -- more than 11.5 inches!

The New Joy

April 2008 (update March 2010 -- I am halfway to the next Locks of Love donation. Is anyone else growing their hair?)
