Another Love..........

What a great Monday it was! My daughter has been in town visiting for a couple of weeks and she decided to do the most wonderful thing! Her hair had been growing out for several years and it was time to update her look so we headed to Great Clips. As a participating salon with Locks of Love, Jessica could donate her hair to those in need. "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. " www.locksoflove.org for more information, to donate, volunteer or organize your own event for charity. What a GREAT opportunity. Jessica donated about 14 inches of hair---- and has a cute new 'do' to boot.

To donate hair Locks of Love has the following guidelines:

We accept 10" minimum hair length (tip to tip). We cannot accept wigs, falls, or synthetic hair.
Please bundle hair in ponytail or braid.
Hair needs to be clean, dry, placed in a plastic bag, then padded envelope.
We need hair from men and women, young and old, all colors and races.
Hair may be colored or permed, but not bleached or chemically damaged (if unsure, ask your stylist).
Hair swept off the floor is not usable.
Hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail or braid.
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 divided into multiple ponytails for donation.
Please note: Anyone can cut your hair as long as the above guidelines are followed

You know how we feel, in any way--- be a blessing and pass it on!
