I believe you need at least 10 inches for them to do anything with it. Less than 10, they may not be able to make a wig.

Just know that Locks of Love isn't the best charity in the world, I was considering it myself since I have nice long blonde hair, but then I actually researched it. Locks of Love has received criticism for its practice of selling donated hair, rather than using it in wigs as the donors expect. In general, hair contributed by Americans is unsuitable for wig manufacture. The reason is that their hair is damaged by frequent washing, the use of styling products and dyes, and the heat from hair dryers and irons. When wigmakers do want human hair, they usually go to a poor country and pay everyone to grow out their hair, and dye it the color they want. Also, Locks of Love only makes around 100 wigs a year, can't use the donated hair 90% of the time, and doesn't give wigs to kids with chemo, and makes kids pay for the wigs as much as their families can afford. It's finances are far less accounted for then most non profits.

How long did that take? Divide by 2 and you will have an approximate time the rest will grow in.

You will have to wait a few months to get the three more inches. I think it is so cool what you are doing.
