I donated 23 Inches to Locks of Love in July 2009. I had cut 21" in 1994 and donated that one too. Now I plan on keeping the short hair.
Great cause. A few months later a former classmate of mine who was going through chemo had a wig - same color as my hair! We like to think it was a 'small world'.

That is really awesome, when I was going through treatments my DGD cut her hair off and had them make a wig just for me. I was thrilled.
Thank you for your act of kindness!!

Wonderful! I would donate mine, but I have to color mine and it has to be natural.

That is wonderful resolution!! My DD gave over 20+++ inches a few years ago.

I had something very nice done for me this evening. I took the grandbabies to Walmart and was loading the groceries into the back of my Honda. A very nice lady next to me offer to tak my buggy back with hers to the buggy rack. I truly appreciated it!!! It is cold and I didn't want to leave the kids, (Lexi 5 and Gabe 21mths) and was going to take them with me. The lady left before I could thank her again. I hope she knows how much her kindness was appreciated.

What a great inspiration for all of us......

If we all just gave in some capacity---whether it was locks of hair or whatever....

For what it's worth, my daughter did locks of love...it made me feel proud

Actually it does not have to be natural. The only thing that they won't accept is if it is bleached and dyed. But if it hasn't been bleached they will accept it.
