Normally I start brushing my hair by just running my fingers through my hair to get rid of tangles. I did that this morning. The tangles came out, but so did lots of the hair.

For the rest of the morning, I took perverse pleasure in running my fingers through my hair, even with my normal hairclip in place, and pulling out strands. So, to keep from having to call a plumber the next time I shampoo my hair, Charlie and I went to the new Great Clips just down the street from us this afternoon. I was able to donate most of it to Locks of Love. I was surprised how long it took Annika to cut through the ponytail. Seems even with pulling out hair all morning it was still fairly thick.

I told Annika that I’d only have the remaining hair for a week or so and not to worry too much about the cut. But she was just wonderful and took the time to give me a great cut. I even think it’s kinda cute. Now I’m really going to be sorry to lose the rest of the hair. But I’ve got a picture for when it grows out again.
