Project for Awesome 09- Locks of Love!!

Donate your hair to Locks of Love.

WHAT IS LOCKS OF LOVE?

Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 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.

GUIDELINES FOR ACCEPTABLE DONATIONS * Hair that is colored or permed is acceptable. * Hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail or braid. * Hair that has been bleached (usually this refers to highlighted hair) is not usable. If unsure, ask your stylist. We are not able to accept bleached hair due to a chemical reaction that occurs during the manufacturing process. **If the hair was bleached years ago and has completely grown out it is fine to donate. * Hair that is swept off of the floor is not usable because it is not bundled in a ponytail or braid. * Hair that is shaved off and not in a ponytail or braid is not usable. If shaving your head, first divide hair into multiple ponytails to cut off. * We cannot accept dreadlocks. Our manufacturer is not able to use them in our childrens hairpieces. We also cannot accept wigs, falls, hair extensions or synthetic hair. * Layered hair is acceptable if the longest layer is 10 inches. * Layered hair may be divided into multiple ponytails. * Curly hair may be pulled straight to measure the minimum 10 inches. * 10 inches measured tip to tip is the minimum length needed for a hairpiece. Please Note: * Shorter hair will be separated from the ponytails and sold to offset the manufacturing costs. Although the shorter hair cannot be used in the hairpieces, it still greatly helps to reduce costs. * Gray hair will be accepted and sold to offset the manufacturing costs. * Colored hair is not usable if it is colored over bleached hair.

@12bestskater12 Why does it matter? Because it's dishonest of LOL to let girls (and even some major media outlets) believe that their hair donations are going to cancer kids when they're not. Almost all the girls donating believe their hair is going to a cancer kid. Sadly, it's not.

@athompson7 Why does it matter if its for children with cancer or Alopecia? Either way, it's going to a child who has lost their hair.

Locks of Love is a scam. Don't be duped. LOL produces very few wigs and most of them are NOT given away free; they are sold on a sliding fee schedule. Further, they are NOT for cancer kids; they go to folks with a non-fatal disease called Alopecia.
