Locks of love

Has anyone worked with them or donated hair to them? Even if I go with the longer style I am considering I should have around 11 inches or so of hair that would just be ending up on the floor of the salon.
Do I have to go to any particular place? I'm not interested in getting a free haircut out of it, I just figure if I'm going to cut it off anyway it may as well be fro a good cause.

You do need to go to certain salons, not all of them participate. And 11 inches should be plenty for them too use - those of us who grow hair easily might as well share the blessing, right?

The Locks of Love website might give you more specific information, or if you call a salon and ask, they'll probably know who in the area participates.

My daughter Christy has donated her hair. No you don't have to go anywhere special. My neighbor cut her hair. Here is the link we used. It gives you all the information you need.

When I did the big chop, the salon was having a Lock for Love drive that day so my timing was perfect. I had over 19inches taken off and the gal there from the charity was very happy, which made me happy.

Kudos to you for even thinking about donating it.

I never really paid attention to them because as far as I knew (the rules may have changed now) but they wouldn't accept curly hair.

Good idea, Missy.
