I have been all over the Internet and cannot locate any information on this. I cannot see all that hair going to waste, when a child could use it. I appreciate your help. Locks of Love provides these custom-fitted hairpieces for free of charge or on a sliding scale to financially disadvantaged children. Donors provide the hair, volunteers staff the office, and the manufacturer hand-assembles each piece, which requires approximately four months.
Most donors mail a note and a photo along with their bundle of hair.
Children make up about 75 percent of the donors, making Locks of Love a charity where children have the opportunity to help other children.
