How many inches is the mininum to be able to donate hair for Locks of Love?

Answer 1

It must be a minimum of 10 inches.

Answer 2

My brother actually just donated his hair to Locks of Love for the 2nd time. Make sure you go to a salon that will actually send the hair to the charity - sadly there are some that throw it away or mis-handle it making it useless - Generally speaking it has to be 13" because the salon will pull it into a ponytail, braid it and then put another tie on the end - the braid has to be 10" from band to band. (Which typically comes out to 13") Your hair can be dyed (as long as it is a "natural" color and is healthy), the color doesn't matter (gray, etc is fine) it can be straight, curly, thick, thin, as long as it is clean and healthy - and not pink :)
Good for you for being willing to donate - it's a great way to help others!

Answer 4

1. We accept 10" minimum hair length (tip to tip). We cannot accept wigs, falls, or synthetic hair.
2. Please bundle hair in ponytail or braid.
3. Hair needs to be clean, dry, placed in a plastic bag, then padded envelope.
4. We need hair from men and women, young and old, all colors and races.
5. Hair may be colored or permed, but not bleached or chemically damaged (if unsure, ask your stylist).
6. Hair swept off the floor is not usable.
7. Hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail or braid.
8. Hair that is short, gray, or unsuitable for children will be separated from the ponytails and sold at fair market value to offset the cost of manufacturing.
9. You may pull curly hair straight to measure the minimum 10".
10. The majority of all hair donated comes from children who wish to help other children.
11. Layered hair may be divided into multiple ponytails for donation.
12. Please note: Anyone can cut your hair as long as the above guidelines are followed.
