Locks for Love

I am a huge fan of locks of love. I can't think of a better thing to do with hair you don't want anymore. For those who don't know they make wigs for cancer patients with donated hair. My sister has done it at least once, maybe twice, and each time I thought it was so great.

I have been letting my hair grow for awhile now. Not for this specifically, just because I liked it long. I've been getting the itch to cut it for a few days so last night after dinner I headed over to Cost Cutters. I had them put it in a pony tail and cut it so I could send it in to Locks of Love.
I sure hope they can use it as I didn't measure to make sure it was 10 inches. Their site says 10 inches is the minimum but if you have layers they'll sell off the shorter hair. I figure even if they can't use it for a wing they can sell it off and take the money. Either way it's better than throwing it in the trash.
Anyways, I love the cut.

If you have long hair and are thinking of cutting it send it to Locks of Love - it's so easy and such a great thing to do. Check out the requirements on http://www.locksoflove.org/. Died hair is okay depending on what you've had done to it. Here is the address you mail your hair to:

Locks of Love
234 Southern Boulevard
