Locks of Love

My oldest, Kaylei, is a giving soul.  She just loves to do for others.  She has always wanted to donate her hair to Locks of Love.  She has been growing her hair for the past year and a half, and she finally made it to the minimum -- 10 inches.  We debated on letting it grow a couple of more months, but we decided to go for it.  She swims every day, and we thought the chlorine might cause too much damage.  We really wanted Locks of Love to get the absolute most out of her donation. 

Before the "cut".

The "cut".

No tears here!!

Such a sassy hair cut!!



Looking good from the back too!

About Locks of Love:  Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.-- taken from website...

I want it to be noted that it is estimated that 80% of all donations come from children who wish to help other children. -- taken from website...
