My 16 year old daughter has beautiful hair. But she really wants to help disadvantaged children. She got her hair cut tonight. I'm very proud of her for being the person she has become.
WHAT IS LOCKS OF LOVE?
Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.

I agree with Slimy...about everything! LOL Be careful that they actually send the hair on. My wife cut hers and she found out that they just threw her hair away. Another place she called wanted to Charge her for sending it to them!

Great organization!. I too donated 14 inches of my blonde hair 3 years ago to Locks of Love. The 14 inches has all grown back now, maybe it's time to donate again.

I was in my salon on Saturday and a teenager was donating her hair to the cause. Someone is going to be real happy to receive those beautiful locks. Scarefx - Not only does your daughter have beautiful hair, she is beautiful too. Ya did good!

This is a great organization. I donated a foot of hair a few years ago. I don't think they'd want more, since all the grey has started taking over, but when I get mine cut after Halloween this year, I plan on trying to donate again. Your daughter is beautiful, inside and out.

Good for her! I was gonna donate mine to LoL... but everyone talked me out of getting it cut. I think I'll let it grow a bit more and then get half of it cut off when they do the big LoL event here.
