How much hair is required for locks for love?

Question

Also, most places dont accept dyed hair- is there anywhere that does- because mine is dyed.

My hair is only 7 inches long right now (measured from the scalp)- so I've got growing to do- but even then they don't accept dyed hair. I have an addiction to dying my hair and do it about 5 times a year

Answer 1

Here's the Locks of Love website:

According to their criteria, they need a minimum of 10" (tip to tip), and dyed hair is okay, while BLEACHED hair is not acceptable. "If unsure, ask your beautician."

Answer 2

I am a hairdresser. It must be 10 inches in a pony tail. I would check around because I work at sears Hair Studio/ Premier Salons Inc. We accept it and it all goes to the same place(locks of love) so Im not sure why they wouldnt accept it dyed or not.

Answer 3

They require at least 10 inches of hair. They will accept dyed hair if the hair has not been bleached or permed.

Answer 4

I think the hair that you cut off has to be at least 12 inches long.

I don't know of anywhere that accepts dyed hair, sorry.

Kudos to you for wanting to donate your hair!

Answer 5

It's funny that I saw this question :) Your hair - from the nape of your neck - has to be 10 inches.,and not layered or tapered. I'm actually growing mine for that right now,and have 3 inches to go in the back. It has to be put in a ponytail and 10" be able to be cut off. If you can stick it out,do it,I say. :)

Answer 6

10 inches

Answer 7

I thought it was 10 inches, but it could be 12. thats very generous of you and i admire you for that.
