Locks of Love: New hair!

While I love and adore long hair, I felt it was time to part with the length. I cut 10.5 inches off to donate it to Locks of Love. :-)  What do you think?!

Before:
 

After:
My Rocky Mountain Endangered Feces shirt. :-P

I still have some decent length in the back so I don't feel so bald. Although I have a feeling I'll be using too much product next time I wash my hair!  
It's hard to be sad about losing the length when it's going to such a good cause. I may be growing it out again to donate more. :-)
