My experience donated the hair

Long hair has always liked to use because I consider a symbol of femininity, unfortunately motivated to problems with the fall of my hair I decided to cut it much more than I always do. In the search for reasons to feel better about myself, I found the "María Kallay" Foundation, which deals with the free elaboration of wigs for girls in oncological treatment, it was there when I made an important decision.

I went to my trusty hairdresser and told her of my plans to donate my hair, for it she needed to cut 30 centimeters of hair, so she got down to work, washed my hair, unraveled it, tied it with a garter, measured it with a ribbon metric, and with scissors in hand proceeded to cut it.

I went in person to give my donation to the foundation, the person in charge of the workshop received me, showed me the wig factory, I noticed that only men work there, they are in charge of operating the machines and making hand implants, he made a demonstration: with a knitting needle he takes a natural hair, passes it through a tulle mesh and fastens it to the fabric with a knot, I was impressed to see that they repeated these steps for each hair as many times as necessary to complete An implant is a job that involves a lot of time, dedication and patience.

The donated tufts are placed in a plastic box, when they placed my hair in that box I felt like I was detached in seconds of many years of dedication and dedication invested in the care of my hair, it was a strange mixture of indescribable feelings, both bad and good , a lump in the throat and desire to cry, I do not know the reasons for that reaction, if my intentions were the best.

The change in my physical appearance was notorious and people always asked me: - why did you cut it so much? and when I indicated that it was a donation for girls with cancer, their faces change completely, they are touched, they congratulate me and there are those who want to follow my example.

This small action brought great satisfaction, inspiring other people was a consequence, helping others by putting aside personal interests is something that in my opinion we must practice a little more, I placed my bit and other people can also join . I would do it again? - The answer is yes! Because giving away the best of me was an unparalleled experience.
