Donate your hair for a good cause!

 

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.

They 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 they provide help to restore children's self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.

If you have 10 or more inches of hair you want to donate, visit http://www.locksoflove.org/ to get all the details and be a part of this wonderful group!

Can I donate? 

How you can qualify to donate:

Q. What is the minimum length for a hair donation?
A. At least 10 inches is needed to be used in a hairpiece.

Q. Why is the minimum length 10 inches?
A. The manufacturing process uses up to two inches, leaving only eight inches (jaw length). Most of the children who receive hairpieces from Locks of Love are little girls, and most want long hair. When they need to provide a hairpiece to a boy, they use some of the shorter lengths that have been separated by hand from each donated ponytail.

Q. Can I donate shorter hair?
A. Yes, they do accept donations between 6-10 inches in length with the understanding that it will be sold to help offset manufacturing costs.

Q. Can I donate gray hair?
A. Yes, they can accept donations of gray hair. Because we only provide hairpieces to children, they cannot use this hair in a hairpiece but like the short hair, will sell it to offset their manufacturing costs.

Q. Can I donate colored hair?
A. Yes, they can accept donations of colored hair.

Q. Can I donate permed hair?
A. Yes, they can accept donations of permed hair.
