96 Dandelion Wishes Made:
DARLING NEW LOOK! holy cow! so cute! and so much easier. way to go girly!
that is awesome!
and so fun to get a new back to school look!
What a sweetheart! And her new 'do is darling. She looks fabulous! I only have about 6 inches, and if I cut that off, I'd be bald. My hair grows so slowly. But... I have a stepdaughter who might do it. We'll see! Great post!
She is such a sweet, generous girl! Love her new cut! Darling!
Oh, I don't even have 8 inches of hair yet...let alone 8 inches to donate! :) Hit me up in another 2 years! :)
I love her new 'do! My daughter did this in July. She donated 1o inches to Locks of Love. Your little girl just looks adorable!!
Oops! It must have been at least 12 inches - my future sister in law cut it so I am sure she got enough to send. :)
That is so great and sweet of her to do that. My niece has done that once and plans on doing it again this fall. Maybe I'll do it some day too. My hair is too short at this point.
BTW I loooooove the new look! She was beautiful before but she looks so mature(in a cute way)now.
8 inches would be a buzz cut for me - but I LOVE the idea! Way to go J! She looks great!
Wow, that is so special and inspiring and beautiful and...well, give J a great big hug and tell her I am proud of her! Her hair IS so beautiful and so is her new cut. God bless her! I only wish me or anyone in my family had hair to give but we don't. :-(
Love ya, Sniz
wow... what an amzing little girl.. that was so nice of her.. And she looks soooo cute.. I love the new look!
Jordan you are beautiful. Lucky girl that gets your hair. I have been thinking about you all day today and hoping that your first day of school is going well.
I love you,
Grandma Lynn
I donated my hair to Locks of Love about 3 years ago. I have been thinking of doing it again- though I would have to let it grow some more first. Maybe I will do the Pantene one next time around.....but, like I said, I will have to let it grow out a bit more first.
J's new look is awesome!! Hope school went well!
The first time I ever cut The Princess's hair we donated it to Locks of Love. It was beautiful blonde ringlets....to her behind. The stylist BEGGED me not to do it...and then cried. I did not cry until I got her home and saw how grown she looked!
Great cause!
great job Jordan...I love your new cute, it is adorable!!
So I'm not sure I have 8 inches to donate. I'm soo afraid to cut my hair to short. But I am totally ready to cut it and to cut several inches. If I have 8 inches to do it I would love to donate. I just have to get brave and cut it lol (I've always had long hair).
I failed to mention that Jordan looks great! She looks so grown up! I love that hairstyle on her!
She looks so sweet! I love it. What a great age to get a short hair doo that she can learn something new with.
P.S. my girls did it about 2 years ago and they are just now enjoying having their long hair back. Kenna donated 12 inches. They love doing it and it made them feel so good. I'm sure they will do it again soon.
JORDAN YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I'm glad you love your new shirt..I almost bought one for myself too! THanks for being such a great babysitter!! i MISS YOU ALREADY! come VISIT ME SOOOOOOOON!!!
I don't have any hair to donate as mine is pretty short, but I'll be happy to link back to you. This will make a great post for my blog.
And tell Jordan she is a great kid and her new 'do looks fabulous!
That is WONDERFUL fore her to donate her Lovely Locks!!! :)
She does look so much older with the shorter hair!!!
...{sigh}...they grow up so fast don't they???.....
Can I just say this post brought tears to my eyes? What a sweet little girl!! My mom had radiation therapy etc when she had cancer and lost her hair and would've loved to have the donation of such pretty hair. Then, my SIL has alopecia and is completely bald and it's because of sweet girls like Jordan, she is able to have beautiful wigs! Thanks JORDAN for your selflessness and love! Love the new look as well!
OH! MY! GOODNESS! Just when I think this girl can't possibly get more amazing...she goes and does something like this!!
Not only is it a sincerely generous gift -- but her new 'do' looks really cute too!!
I love the new look Jordan! What a great way to start school! Can I be grandfathered into the contest since I donated my hair back in December?

I don't know if I will donate again. I have really gotten used to my short hair and I am starting to feel like I am too old for long hair!
I love your new haircut Jordan! You look darling and OLDER! Good for you for sending it to such a great cause.
j, you are so cool for doing this. You are totally my hero right now. Move over Michael Phelps.
Very sweet of her and her bob looks cute! My oldest did Locks of Love in March and now she's growing it out again...I think it's so sweet how they want to help!
I am in the process of growing mine out so that I too can donate it when it gets long enough. Congrats to J for thinking of others out there. And like my stylist told me once when I bleached my hair a little bit too blonde..."It's just hair, it'll grow back." but for some thats not the case.
Long, short, she's adorable either way!
Happy SITS day!
What a compassionate heart your daughter has. I'm sure you are proud of her! I bet she will do great things as she grows up.
You have a very special daughter, there! What a wonderful thing to do for someone else in need! She's a doll!
What a generous gift of herself! And, to prove that good deeds are sometimes rewarded, her new cut is just adorable!
What a sweet thing , kind and generous and so selfless.
Her new haircut looks great !
I love the hair! About 3 years ago, I cut off 20 inches of hair! They told me I couldn't donate it though because it had been bleached.
Wow! Good for her! And the haircut is absolutely adorable.
That's great.
Her new look is really cute - definitley win/win for everybody.
How sweet! She must have a heart of gold!
I think she looks beautiful with her haircut! :)
What a cute cut. And a great cause. Congrats on being the FB! It is well deserved!!
She's so sweet to donate her hair! I think her new 'do is adorable!
omgosh, how proud you must have been! And what an adorable cut she got!
How GORGEOUS is she?!?!?!?! LOVE the cut! What a heart she has too!
I don't have any to donate now, but I've done it in the past and want to do it again if I EVER get this mop of mine to grow!!!
This is a wonderful cause and a good way for kids -- and others! -- to get involved. Thanks for supporting and inspiring others to do the same.
Wow, she does have beautiful hair! What a great cause.
I love the new look...I have wanted to donate to a hair thing but I would have to shave my head in order to have enough hair, so it hasn't happened.
Although I am a big fan of long hair, the short hair cut looks great! And what a sweet and generous thing to do with the cut off locks! Happy SITS day!
This post shows what an amazing young lady you are raising....It's nice to see giving being passed down to the younger generation....and doesn't she look all sassy with her new do....
Her long hair was beautiful, but she is stunning with her new 'do! I love it! :)
That is such a sweet thing to do. You have one beautiful and very sweet girl.
Happy SITS day! Love your daughters hair cut, it really suits her! And I now someone is really appreciating her donation!!
What a wonderful and very beautiful child/young woman, such a kind and thoughtful thing to donate, that will helps lots of people in distress everywhere. WTG Jordan, your an angel in looks as well as inner goodness.
Mamarazzi WTG on being todays SITs

Jordan is not only beautiful in appearance, but she also has a beautiful heart. You must be so proud of her.
My youngest daughter donated to Locks-of-Love when she was 6 years old. It was something she really wanted to do and something we'll never forget.
It really is wonderful to be able to see our children grow in character.
xo
what a special girl you are raising, you should be very proud ( as I am sure you are)
What a selfless thing for Jordan to do.
I see bad kids on the news all the time. When are they going to air the good ones.
You are raising a good kid.
Good job to both mom and daughter. You've raised a lovely lady, and I'm sure this is something she'll take with her into her full bloom. Hugs to the two of you!
How generous and giving of her! It's really inspiring to see kids want to do things like this. Unfortunately, I don't have that much hair...getting it cut every 5 weeks keeps it from being too long.
Love the new do!
Cute new hair cut! And what a great way to help others. Happy SITS day!
That's so sweet of her to donate. I remember thinking how great it was that they only required 8" instead when I first heard of them. I think it was when Hilary Swank let Oprah cut her hair! LOL
Alas, I have no hair to donate...as you can see by my picture ;) So glad SITS featured you today. I've stopped by before and found your blog to be quite refreshing. Not to mention I love your layout.
WTG J! My youngest daughter donated to Locks of Love about 8 years ago. We photo-documented it and it's so nice to have that to look back on.
What a great idea! I wanted to donate mine to locks of love a while ago but it was too short, and my hair is too short now to do that, but maybe when it grows out again....
I love to hear about the generosity of children. Your daughter has a big heart! Thanks for sharing.
Love the new look!
You have raised an amazing girl!
Enjoy the rest of your SITS day!
I wish I would have known! I just cut about 6 inches off my hair last night but could have easily gone for more. I guess I'll try it next time. Thanks for the encouraging post!
She's a sweet girl!!!!!!
Congrats on being featured today!!!!
My older daughter donated 16 inch ponytail when she was in 1st grade and now my little one (who will be 5 next month) has her own 18 inches to donate !
Outstanding!!
That is so generous and thoughtful:)
Love this... how beautiful, how generous.... you are raising a wonderful human being there.
You are raising a truly beautiful young woman.
Speaking as a cancer survivor, I know the kind of blessing it is to have this sort of sacrifice made on the part of someone else...especially someone so young and beautiful!
Wow that is so sweet of her to want to do something like that! And the short hair look works for her! It looks great!!
Congrats on being featured today!!
You and your daughter should be really proud - and her new look was darling!
Doh! I was totally going to donate my hair and your reminded me I forgot and got my hair trimmed last week! I'll have to try to remember again in 6 months. Your daughter ROCKS for doing it at a time in life when appearance is such a major part of your identity.
I wasn't reading you back when you originally posted this, but Imy daughter chopped her hair for Locks of Love right around the same time. It is sweet to see these little girls giving.
That is so sweet. She's such a blessing. There are so few people willing to be that giving. Can't say I'm brave enough to take the plunge myself at this point, but she definitely got me thinking about it!
My roommate recently donated her hair to the Pantene program, too. Your daughter looks beautiful with long and short hair!
That is a super cute cut for her!
Your daughter is a very lovely young woman. Such beautiful hair!
What an adorable child! Good for you - raising such a compassionate young lady.
What beautiful hair she has--and what a great thing he did! Love the new cut!
Great job on raising such a sweet and kind girl!
It's wonderful that she donates her hair. I love her new cut, too... so cute!
She looks gorgeous. So her hair grows quickly, I'm jealous...I'm trying to grow my hair and it's taking soooo long.
What a great kid!
So generous! What a great value to instill in children! Wonderful!
What a beautiful, sweet young lady. And the new 'do looks fantastic!
Love your blog design!
Kudos to your daughter. It's great to see kids giving back.
What a generous beautiful daughter!
Blessings.
~Debi~
Such a cute cut, but the giver is way cuter!!!
My oldest has donated twice to locks of love. Her hair grows soooo fast. My youngest on the other hand...it's just too thin and wispy. But you are right...they do look so grown up with it cut short!
What a sweet, sweet gesture. The cut is so cute and perky and makes her look so grown up. And, what pretty hair she has.
What a great girl you raised! I hope that I can teach my boys as well.... maybe not with donateing their hair... well if it gets long ok. But I hope I can raise them with seof awareness for others...
This whole thing was just to say I'm impressed.
great idea
and the new hairstyle is really cute
Very cute haircut!
Debbie
Wow, that's so great of her to do that. I am actually growing out my hair a liiiiiiittle more so I can do locks of love (except I'm not going to tell anyone I'm doing it). It's not quite as long as what your daughter's is, so I know I've got a bit to go, but I'm also willing to go much shorter in my haircut so I figure that will help.
I love her sentiment. Great girl you're raising there! (And yes, I know I'm late to the SITS party)
So cute! And what a great thing she has done.
I've never donated hair myself. I've never had hair that long... once it gets to my shoulders, it will start to get on my nerves and I'll have to go get it cut!
That is so wonderful that your daughter does that! My sister has done that before. I can't do it because my hair is so fine it gets really horrible if it gets past like chin length, and who would want a wig made out of that anyhow?
What a compassionate young lady you have there! I can understand why you are such a proud momma! And the new haircut is adorable! I wish I had 8 inches to donate, but sadly, I don't. Tell your daughter I admire her and to hold onto her caring heart.
Have a very joyful Christmas!
