Hair tip of the day: Locks of Love!

Locks of Love is probably the most well-known wig charity. Many believe that the wigs created by Locks of Love are given to children with cancer. I too was under this misconception! Locks of Love wigs go to kids with long-term hair loss. Children with conditions such as Alopecia who will never grow their natural hair again are given first priority. Since most children who undergo chemotherapy will be able to grow their own hair again, a very limited number of these wigs made with human hair are given to children with cancer. But for anyone who has ever known anyone with Alopecia, this is a serious condition. It is so beneficial for these Childrens self esteem to have these wigs available to them.
Here are the guidelines for donating hair to Locks of Love:
* Hair must be at least 10" long in a ponytail or a braid
* Hair must be fresh, not from an old ponytail saved from years ago
* Hair from men and women, young and old, and all colors and races are needed
* Hair must not be bleached or over-processed
* Hair must be clean, dry, put in a plastic bag, and then in a padded envelope
