Locks of Love

Another way we could help others would be to donate our hair! I know you guys already think I'm crazy, but I thought this would be a great and FREE way to help those in need. Locks of love takes hair donated and makes wigs for those who have lost their hair to cancer. Just read over the guidelines and think about it. I thought it would be fun if a group of us let our hair grow out at least ten inches and then all go to get it cut together! You can look at their website for some more information on them. www.locksoflove.org

Guidelines
~We accept 10" minimum hair length (tip to tip), not wigs, falls, or synthetic hair
~Please bundle hair in ponytail or braid.
~Hair needs to be clean, dry, placed in a plastic bag, then padded envelope.
~We need hair from men and women, young and old, all colors and races.
~Hair may be colored or permed, but not bleached or chemically damaged (if unsure, ask your stylist).
~Hair swept off the floor is not usable.
~Hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail or braid.
~Hair that is short, gray, or unsuitable for children will be separated from the ponytails and sold at fair market value to offset the cost of manufacturing.
~You may pull curly hair straight to measure the minimum 10".
~The majority of all hair donated comes from children who wish to help other children.
~Layered hair may be divided into multiple ponytails for donation.

*Please note: Anyone can cut your hair as long as the above guidelines are followed.
