Awesome!!  I keep debating whether or not I want to do that...

Well done!!! I had really long hair for 30 years of my life and every time having it cut was a dreadful suffering! Then I decided it was time for a radical change and had it cut really really short three years ago... I simply love my new look!  It's so easy, jaunty and up-to-date!! ;-) I never regretted what I've done!! 
I didn't know about Locks of Love, I got some information from the Web and I think it's really a great organization... I wonder if we have something similar in Italy... It would be so good...

I didn't chop all mine off but I did get a significant amount cut today and have all kinds of layers now.  Still getting used to it!  You can tell how much curl my hair actually has in it now which is weird.   It isn't curly per se, but it has a definite wave to it that gets pulled out when it's really long.
