Donating your hair

[Deleted]

Yes. Give 25% of the total.

I've donated my hair several times. One time the stylist said "Oh, we had a thing last week where we did free haircuts for anyone donating hair - I'll cut your hair for free and say it was part of that." So, I gave him a tip that was about half of what I expected to pay for the service. He really went out of his way to give me a free thing.

That was the funniest place I had ever gotten service. It was a big salon with lots of employees - assistants and stuff. I cut off about 15 inches, and this one gal was freaking out. I didn't care - it is just hair - but, she came over with a box of kleenex and was just waiting for me to freak out. She asked me if I wanted to hold her hand during the cut. She was super sweet, and I'm sure many people feel differently about their long hair. It just wasn't what I was expecting.

DSD does this every year. She grows her hair out all year long and then donates to Locks of Love.

For those that donate their hair....Thank You! my son suffers from a form of childhood baldness...alopecia areata totalis.... he lost 90% of all his hair (head, eyebrows, eyelashes, & body hair) around age 8....treatments were steriod shots.... we did those for 4 years before he opted to stop them.... now at age 16 he still has no body hair, no eyelashes or eyebrows and has about 20% of the hair on his head....

less than 1% of the population is affected by this autoimmune deficiancy....but of that 1%, over 80% are pre-teens & teenagers.... it affects girls and boys equally.... there is no cure, there is no for sure cause, treatment typically isn't successful long term.... their hair may grow back and never fall out again... it may never grow back....it may grow back 100% and then years later start falling out again....there is no pattern to it.... it gives the teen the appearance of a cancer patient...that unnatural/sick bald look... teen girls can wear a wig to help, but the boys are kind of SOL when it comes to it....

This is just one of the "other" reasons other than cancer wigs to donate hair...and for those that do...thank you so much for doing it and thinking of a child that can use the help....

I often considered donating my pubic hair to some museum. I have yet to have a call returned.

I must have written down the wrong number when got it off the bathroom stall.

Beer I was going to send you some but I had to use the ones I had for a sandwich for our board member who likes hair sandwiches.
