So my cousin and her daughter have amazing hair, I mean like it is unfair how thick and pretty it is. Anyways they have been growing it out for a while now and decided today that they were going to chop it off for Locks of Love. What is Locks of Love you ask? Well it is this awesome program, what happens is you donate hair 14" in length and they make them into wigs for cancer patients, mainly kids I think. Lots of salons will cut it for free if you are donating it, I know great clips does. Anyways so my cousin's daughter was in getting her hair cut and a man asked why they were saving her braid, and she told him why, well this man totally got teary eyed and was like "Thank you so much, My daughter has lukemia and she just recieved her wig, thank you for being so kind and giving you are really making a difference." He then thanked my cousin too and offered to pay for their haircuts. But since they went went to Great Clips it was free anyways. But what a good lesson for my little cousin to learn, not to mention the rest of us. I am not sure if Locks of Love has a website, I'm sure they do, but you could probably just go into any Great clips, They mail it for you too.
So if anyone has long hair and is thinking of cutting it this is a great way to make a bit of a difference in the world.

When I got my hair cut last time I donated it to Lock of Love. It feels good to knowing that you are helping someone else.
That is such a cute story! If my hair would grow past my shoulders I would definetly do Locks of Love!!
Hi Laura! I found your blog! Yes....I'm a stalker like that! Ha ha! I totally know about this locks of love place. My friend donated about 12 inches to that place. I will totally do that next time I decide to chop my hair. Although, I most likely won't do that because I just don't do short hair! I'm glad I found you!!!
