Big Chop Energy 💇🏼‍♀️✨

Sunday, July 20, 2025

So... I finally did it (again)! The big chop is back, and I am loving it 💕✂️

This time, I went back to my favourite hairdresser—the one who’s been doing my hair for years and knows exactly what I like . We cut off a lot of hair - around 10cm gone! It’s lighter, fresher, and feels so much healthier. Plus, I got curtain bangs (obsessed ) and a fresh round of blonde foils to brighten everything up for the season ☀️🌸

 

The new look has main character energy and I’m honestly still doing hair flips when I walk past a mirror 🪞💃, but this isn’t my first big chop moment. A few years ago, I actually cut off over 14cm of my hair and donated it to charity 🎗️. I also helped fundraise at the time to support people going through hair loss, like those affected by cancer or alopecia. It felt so good to know that something as simple as my hair could make someone else feel beautiful and strong.

 

If you’ve ever thought about doing the same - donating your hair, raising money, or even just spreading awareness - there are some amazing organisations that make it really easy:

 

💇‍♀️ Where to Donate Hair:

 

• Sustainable Salons: They collect ponytails 20cm or longer and turn them into wigs for people with medically-induced hair loss.
  🌐 www.sustainablesalons.org
• Hair with Heart (Variety): Variety accepts hair donations of 30cm+ and raises funds to provide wigs to children who have lost their hair due to illness.
  🌐 www.variety.org.au/hair-donation
• Wigs for Kids: An international org helping kids feel confident again.
  🌐 www.wigsforkids.org

 

Want to Fundraise?

 

• Shave for a Cure (Leukaemia Foundation)
  🌐 www.worldsgreatestshave.com
  You can sign up, get sponsored, and go big with your hair transformation while raising money for cancer research 💙
• Look Good Feel Better
  🌐 www.lgfb.org.au

They provide beauty workshops and support for people undergoing cancer treatment

 

Doing something like this makes the haircut feel even more meaningful and it’s a great way to give back while also rocking a new style 💇🏼‍♀️🌈

So yes, the chop is cute. The blonde is bold. And the curtain bangs? Iconic, but all jokes aside, knowing that hair can have purpose too? That’s even better!
