Share my hair

I have a long hair.  Well, I HAD a long hair.

My hair became so long because I could not find a good hair stylist 
in Chilliwack, the farm town where not so many Japanese live.




When I first time came to Canada in 1999, my hair was short, and I wanted to maintain
my short hair. 


 But every time when I went to get a hair cut, I came home with a big
disappointment!  After the few attempts, I came to the conclusion that 


"The Canadian hair stylists are not used to cut the Asian hair ! "

Every hair stylist in Japan said, my hair is so soft and very easy to handle and 
I always satisfied with the hair cut in Japan. 

But compare with caucasion's hair, Asian hair is coarse hair.  If stylist hasn't been trained with Asian hair, they have very hard time to make it stylish.

I became afraid of going to the hair cut, and thought it is safer to let it grow longer 
than get a hair cut.




For about 6,7 years, I always have long hair and I did not get any hair cut last year!

One day, my friend who had a long hair got a hair cut.  I asked her

"Why did you get a hair cut ?"

She said,

"I donated my hair."

"BINGO~! My heart rang !"

That's it !  I am going to do it !

I have no idea that I could donate my hair!

I researched about the hair donation, and there are few rules.

- No perm

- No colouring

- at least 9 inches

- less than 10% of grey hair

Well, I passed everything!  I have no perm, no colour, I have 17 inches to donate, and no grey hair!

I hope my hair will help to make one more wig for people who 

lost their hair because of the chemo therapy, 

or the hair loss illness called Alopecia.
