Locks of Love

Locks of Love takes donations of hair from people of all ages but they hair that is donated must be ten inches or longer and it may not be bleached, chemically damaged or over processed; premed or colored hair.

Since I started college I decided that every two years I would donate my hair to locks of love. I did it in 2007 when I was a sophomore in college and I donated 14 inches. I also did it again this year and I donated 13 inches.

The whole process was quick and easy. First I waited till my hair got really long. After I measured my hair and I knew I could donate more than 10 inches I would make an appointment at the hair salon. Then the morning of my hair cut I would straighten my hair. Next I would go to the hair salon and I would put my hair in a low pony tail and the hairstylist would measure how much I wanted to cut off. After my hair was measure they stylist would cut it off and then put it into a plastic bag. Finally after I was done getting my hair cut I would put the 10 inches in the mail and mail it to Locks of Love. I plan on donating again in two years when my hair gets long enough. I feel that donating my hair is very painless and easy for me but it really can help someone else out a lot.
