Locks of Love

This year I've lost a couple of gfriends to cancer. There's not much a person can do when the deadly disease strikes. We feel so helpless. But there's one thing we can do. We can donate: either our time, our money or . . . even our hair. So, I did.

I had ten inches, just enough, when it was stretched out. In a braid it seemed so much shorter.

Locks of Love is a wonderful way to give something back. There are a few questions you might have if you're thinking about donating your hair.

A few of the questions might be:

1) Can you donate colored hair?

Answer: Yes, it just can't be bleached.

2) Can you donate gray hair?

Answer: Yes.

3) How long does the hair have to be?

Answer: 10 inches for it to be used for a wig

4) Can you donate curly hair?

Answer: Yes, it just needs to be 10 inches long when it's straightened.

5) If you don't have 10 inches to donate can shorter lengths be used?

Answer: Yes.

6) Does the hair need to be in a ponytail or braid?

Answer: Yes

BEAUTY BLOG - LOCKS OF LOVE

Beauty is more than just the outside appearance. Beauty is a combination of the inner and outer person. One way to have inner beauty is to find a way to contribute something to the world. People can contribute in many different ways: it might be art, teaching, volunteering, or (like for me) hair.

I decided a long time ago to donate my hair to the Locks of Love program. I've done it one other time. My hair is super thick so my hairdresser said, they should be able to make a few wigs out of that horsetail--I can only hope.

It took a long time to grow my hair back out so that I would have enough to be able to donate it again. The donation has to be at least 10 inches long from tip to tip. If you are interested in donating, click here for the donation form.

I hope others will consider this program. Plus, please do the polls re: hair on the side. (Thanks)
