LoL has been proven not to use all the hair they are donated to make wigs for cancer patients. The numbers have shown that from all the hair they get most is sold not given to the kids. I would reccomend researching this alot and maybe decide to donate to a palce like Wigs For Kids instead.

I have donated my hair to Locks of Love before during a charity event and there were Asian women there donating there hair as well.
I remember the only thing they asked was that the donated hair be longer than 3 inches and not be chemically processed or treated.
I am sure there is some young Asian child out there suffering from cancer that would LOVE to have your hair.
It's a good cause.
Try Googling "Locks of Love"

They don't like chemically altered hair. But they could always sell it to the hair extensions industry.
And no, it's probably not going to a cancer kid either way. Chemotherapy-induced hair loss is generally not permanent, and LoL only makes wigs for people who will have long-term hair loss (think years or forever, not a few months).
Send it to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths program. They are the only one endorsed by the American Cancer Society.

I don't think they'd turn down any human hair. Some cancer patient somewhere could use a wig made from this hair, so do it!
