My boyfriend's brother has cancer, so obviously he lost his hair. So, my boyfriend decided to shave his head in support.
Things ended up with me, my boyfriend (now husband by the way), and his brother in the bathroom shaving my boyfriend's head. When that was done my boyfriend ran to the store really quick. It was then that I consulted his brother about my idea, to chop off my waist long hair to a short pixie style.
Why?
1. My boyfriend has always wanted me to cut my hair short.
2. To support the two new baldies in my apartment.
3. To make my boyfriend's day a little bit better.
4. I would donate the length to locks of love.
Well, his brother was shocked. In fact, all he could do in response was hug me so tight I thought my eyes would burst out of my head. I made him promise not to tell my boyfriend my idea, so I could surprise him.
When my boyfriend got home, it was back to the bathroom. I didn't tell him why I wanted to hack off my hair, just that I wanted to. So, right then and there, I got a pixie cut. The look on my boyfriend's face made it all worth it. Eventually, his brother told him why I had done it, which turned out very good for me, because the next day he proposed.
The moral of this story: If you have a good reason, cut it - it always grows back.
