Giving of yourself isn’t always easy, but it is always rewarding. Case in point – Locks of Love. I haven’t had my hair cut in over a year because I decided that I was going to attempt to grow out my hair long enough so that I could donate it to Locks of Love. Believe me, there have been times that I’ve felt a little bit shaggy while I wait for my hair to grow. There are other times that I worry that I’ll get too attached to my new length and not be able to part with ten inches (that’s a lot!) of hair.

Get the facts on how to donate hair to Locks of Love here!

I probably don't need to hold onto this anymore.

If you or your child (an estimated 80% of donations come from children) can donate to Locks of Love, you should think of how you would feel without your hair. Sure, it isn’t the most important part of life and many people live great lives without their hair but wanting to fit in and have the same confidence that your classmates have…this is something that every child should have the opportunity to experience.  It is often hard enough being a child, being different from everyone else your age certainly can’t make it any easier.

This is where you come in…your donation of hair can be made into a wig for a child.  It will cost you a padded envelope and some postage along with some time, patience and the loss of at least ten inches of your mane.  Men, women and children of all races can donate to Locks of Love.

I can’t promise that I will be successful in my endeavor, but I can promise to keep trying. And even if I am not, maybe I can inspire one of you to join me.

Would you consider doing this? How would you feel if you donated your hair to an organization like this that helps children? Leave me a comment and let me know!

Happy gifting!
