[Wellness] Donating hair to Locks of Love

["Karen Patterson" <karen@womens-wellness.com>]

I receive many questions from generous people who wish to donate their hair.
I have found this organization called Locks Of Love at the following
address.  You may also nominate a child to receive hair on this site.

HAIR DONATION GUIDELINES

We accept 10" minimum hair length (tip to tip), not wigs, falls, or
synthetic hair
Please bundle hair in ponytail or braid
Hair needs to be clean, dry, and placed in a plastic bag
We need hair from men and women, young and old, all colors, and all races
Hair may be colored or permed, but not chemically damaged (if you're not
sure, ask your stylist)
Hair swept off the floor is not usable
Hair cut years ago is usable as long as it has been stored in a ponytail
Hair that is short, gray, or unsuitable for children will be separated from
the ponytails and sold at fair market value to offset the cost of
manufacturing
You may pull curly hair straight to measure the minimum 10"
The majority of all hair donated comes from children who wish to help other
children
Layered hair may be put into more than one ponytail for donation

The site also lists places in your area where you can get your hair cut free
and also fund raisers in each state.

My best and many thanks to all you generous people,
Karen
