Locks Of Love is a organization that makes wigs for kids who have lost their own hair because of treatments for cancer. I would but I have dyed my hair. It has to grow out.

they will take dyed hair. mine was dyed & down to my knees. I had it cut to my shoulders and donated it to locks of love. the lady who cut it said she could not believe how thick & healthy it was. like a mermaid doll.
I guess I now know why little kids would call me a mermaid sometimes.
(look at 5....you can have dyed hair)
To donate hair to locks of love:
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.

Why not. It sounds like a good idea to me! I'm for anything that will help someone get through cancer. If we can make the fight easier for someone let's do it. This is an issue we all need to dedicate ourselves to. My sister has brain and bone cancer. Her fight has been long but she has been a trooper and still does her best to have a full life everyday. But the heartbreak is in the fact that she doesn't get many more days. Just a few months. So if you can do one thing...anything..or if I can, the answer is YES!

I sure would. My mother always reminded me when I got a hair cut I didn't like that my hair would always grow back. These poor kids have so many other things to worry about; if I could help a kid by giving them my hair, then I'd love to. :-)

Yes I would, I just cut it but it wasn't long enough, next time I'll grow it to the right length first.

I cut off 16 inches of my hair and sent it to LOL a year ago.When it gets long enough I will do it again.

Well, what else would I be doing with it, honestly? Except some freaky voodoo thing, and I really think the children would benefit much more.
