212. Locks of Love

Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides wigs and hair pieces to children that are suffering from medical conditions that cause hair loss.  You would be applauded to see how expensive quality hair pieces are... this foundation helps take that financial burden away from families that need to focus on their child's well being as opposed to the cosmetic aspect.

From the Locks of Love website: Our mission is to return a sense of self, confidence and normalcy to children suffering from hair loss by utilizing donated ponytails to provide the highest quality hair prosthetics to financially disadvantaged children. The children receive hair prostheses free of charge or on a sliding scale, based on financial need.

HOW TO DONATE

• 10 inches measured tip to tip is the minimum length needed for a hairpiece.
• Hair must be in a ponytail or braid before it is cut.
• Hair must be clean and completely dry before it is mailed in.
• Place the ponytail or braid inside of a plastic bag, and then inside of a padded envelope.
• If you wish to receive an acknowledgment for your hair donation, please fill out the hair donation form, or write your name and e-mail address or mailing address on a full size separate sheet of paper and include inside the envelope. We cannot acknowledge donors who do not send their name and address according to these instructions.

All hair donations must be mailed to
