OPEN Locks Of Love

[WarriorAngel]

Anyone else or anyone ever donate hair for this?

I had some friends that have and are currently growing their hair to do so.

I did just a couple months ago! Attached is a pic of me holding the chunk I donated (15 inches)

WOW, 15 inches...? That is amazing!!

And God Bless you. ; HUGS

I know long ago when I had hair down just past my waist that it was sort of difficult to let it go...and so I know it must have hurt just a lil bit to have it cut.

So glad you did this for the kids.

That is wonderful Kasia. Plus your hair is such a pretty golden brown color!!!

've always wanted to do it, but usually I get fussy when my hair gets that long- how long did it take you?

I recently decided to give my hair...which was long enough...it took two years. However; unbeknownst to me, I couldnt do it.

I had on a whim, decided to dye my hair black. Aside from blonde, this was the only other color I had not yet tried.
It did not look well on me.

Anyway, the beautician told me because I dyed it black, that I damaged it since black is the hardest color for them recolor. [which would ruin the hair trying]
Seems they use coloring too on the hair donated.

So all that time...for naught.

About 2 years should do it.

my asst. manager cut off 10 inches of her hair and donated it to Locks of Love, we also had a girl at school who cut off a lot of her hair and donated it, they made a spot for it in the yearbook lol

Sorry, this is off-topic:

When trying to make a thread available in the CO area for both Christians and non-Christians to post in, you need to have the brackets around the word OPEN for it to work properly. So your thread title would then look like this:

That's awesome! How long was your hair? Was it down to your waist?

My hair is now the longest it's every been - it reaches to the bottom of my bra strap on my back... maybe just a little bit longer now.

For years, my mom has been losing her hair. She thinks that it's because her diabetes went untreated for years. I've always wanted to grow my hair long enough so that I could then get it cut, and have a wig made for her. I've heard that it's pretty spendy, though.

About 6 years ago, I donated a 13 inch ponytail to Wigs for Kids. It's a charity based in the midwest that makes wigs for kids undergoing chemo. My wife was sort of upset (she liked my hair). She even carried my ponytail around in her purse for a couple of days.
