Until yesterday, my hair was very long. It had grown down well below my shoulders. I cut it so that my hair can be made into a wig for cancer patients who have lost their hair as a result of treatment. There are many ways you can do this; I chose to donate via the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program. Here are a few pictures that my daughter took. These are thumbnails, click to view a large version.
I am a husband, father, reader, writer, researcher, occasional website designer and administrator, and all-around geek. I am also a musician who plays the guitar and the bass; I have played as a studio musician for other artists. I am an avid and voracious reader, speak several languages, have worked as an information consultant on topics including culture, language, religion and computers, and spent several years running a small business in North Africa.
This is where I write occasional notes about things I want to remember or about stuff that a friend or acquaintance might find interesting; kind of like a Twitter feed, but with more than 140 characters per post.

I spend more time posting on Google+, and you can also find me occasionally hanging out on Facebook, and Twitter. You will even find me on LinkedIn and on Amazon.com.
Hallo Matthew
I’ve wondered occasionally about donating hair, and it’s interesting to know that Pantene organises it. Someone will be delighted to receive such gorgeous hair.
Good on ya!
Cheers, Sarah
