My sister (jayandjenny) this weekend donated her hair to Locks of Love. They make wigs for children with cancer. It is so strange to see her with shorter hair but she rocks it After not cutting her hair for months so she can have it long for the wedding it was nice that she decided to let grow a little longer so she could have the exact amount to be able to donate it to the kids. I am very proud of her.

That is so nice. I have donated my hair a few times. I am actually doing it again tomorrow. I know weird to be chopping my hair before the wedding, but my hair is to the middle of my butt and it is getting to be too much.

Thanks Yesenia. You should check again. I got this off their website.
DONATE HAIR Please Note: Anyone can cut your hair as long as the guidelines listed below are followed. We encourage all of our donors to go to a salon they are already familiar with to ensure their comfort when donating.
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.
Hair that is swept off of the floor is not usable.
Hair that is shaved off and not in a ponytail or braid is not usable.
We cannot accept dreadlocks. Our manufacturer is not able to use them in our children’s 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.
