There will be pictures, but not tonight. I got a decade's growth of hair cut off today.[More:] About 16 healthy inches. It feels wonderful, but I'm still getting used to it, obviously. Got a chin-length bob with a lot of length in the front, so I can still put it into a barrette and out of my face. Will post pictures as soon as I figure out how I like it most. I'm still playing with the novelty of it.

After a lot of searching, I kept coming back to this site Children with Hairloss, as they specifically say they take gray hair and appear to be a legit non-profit. They don't specifically say with they do with the grays, but I can just hope for the best.

I won't be mailing the braid for a few days, though, so other suggestions are still welcome. Ideally, I'd like to find a site for anyone who has illness-related need for wigs but wouldn't mind some healthy, undyed silver in there.
Oh my!

I kept coming back to this site Children with Hairloss,

So help me, I originally read that as 'Children With Halitosis,' and wondered how hair would help.

I let a friend take a picture. I had just let it air dry after a shower to see what it would do. Here's a before, from the 10-year meetup, for contrast.

Awww, cute!

It looks GREAT! Wow, what a long braid you had. Really, though, I think the bob suits you very well - it looks fresh and modern, and your hair clearly has lots of bounce and volume. Congratulations on taking the leap!

Beautiful. And your before pic is making me miss drinks and talking in NOLA.

I love the after picture! You look great!

Agreed! You clearly had/have wonderfully thick hair, and I think your new cut looks awesome.

Your old hair clearly looked well cared for, so I know they'll appreciate your donation. And I know how you feel; the last time I had a major cut like that (10 years ago!) I sort of walked back from the salon in a daze and kept pulling the braid out of the bag to show my friends. Creepy *giggle*
