When we left for our first trip, way back in February 2008, I decided to get my hair cut and when I say cut I mean really cut!
It was a gradual progression to this stage, before my hair was all one length well past my shoulders! I had it cut though because I really wasn’t sure what the water situation would be like in Tala and therefore wanted something easy to take care of. After the first trip I realized 1) I could get away with washing my hair very infrequently anyway, 2) ponytails could be my friend again and 3) this just wasn’t me!
So once we returned I decided not to cut my hair until is was once again long.
Here I am almost two years later! I did not cut my hair until just recently (got a trim and bangs) and I can’t wait for the girls in Kenya to see me now. They loved playing with my short hair and I’m sure they’ll love the long hair even more!
