Hairshares: Donating My Hair for a Cause
I've been growing my hair out for the past two years and I can tell you this much...I have a much deeper appreciation for those maintaining your beautiful locks. Between cleaning out the shower drain to waking up with a face-full of hair, its definitely a lot more work than it seems.
Almost coincidentally, I came across this really cool new project shared by @nepd called @Hairshares. This awesome organization provides incentives to people for donating their hair. I thought this would be a great opportunity to raise awareness and get involved with a nice project here on Steemit.

And in case you don't believe this is me...
Getting a little crazy with it one last time!
I felt a huge weight off my head from the very first cut and taking a shower afterwards was quite the experience. My hair dries so fast now!
"The gift of your hair can keep a smile on someone's face that really needs it... and a smile can be a very important tool when >fighting cancer, alopecia or any other reason that one may lose their hair."
Hairshares Project
After a little research on each of the charities, I've decided to donate my hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. It's comforting knowing that you can make a difference in a cancer survivor's life by doing something so simple.
packing the envelope now
I encourage anyone with the means to give it a try! We are fortunate to be able to grow it back, so why not share the wealth?
I realized this morning that someone had just claimed the jackpot yesterday so I know I won't be getting nearly as much as I could have, but to be honest I don't care. I'm just happy I could spread awareness throughout the community!
Cheers!

What an awesome gesture! Your hair is incredible and will make someone's day!
I hope so :)
Wow this is awesome! Thanks for donating... Do you have Bts username? I'll send your reward over!
I can't believe I missed this post for so long. Sorry about that.
No worries at all! I have a BTS wallet on Bittrex, would that work? Otherwise, I'm sure I could create one...
No, to send the HAIRSHARE/WHALESHARE, You'd need an account on Bitshares.org. Let me know if you need some help creating one. (use the account model)
Alright, just created one. My BTS username is nosynnet-322
Let me know if you need anything else! And thanks again for letting me get involved with this great cause!
Wonderful - I'll send over the prizes!
Got them, thank you so much! Best of luck to you and this project!
Your hair was beautiful, happy it went to a beautiful cause!
Aw thank you, me too!
You are awesome brad!
No you're awesome @eirik! Thanks for checking out my post :)
You've exceeded my expectations.
Well done!
Great job! You have done something truly amazing for another human being!
Thanks, I'm just happy I could help out in some way :)
This is one of the most incredible givings I have seen since I have been on Steemit. This type of giving is very close to the heart. Your hair is gorgeous. Thank you @bradfordtennyson for your sacrifice.
We are all affected by cancer in some way. I'm just fortunate enough right now to help out. Thank you for your kind words.
You are welcome @bradfordtennyson. I will be following you.
