Locks of Love

Do you have long hair and are thinking about getting it cut short? If so, you may want to consider donating your hair to Locks of Love.

From the Locks of Love website:

Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.

Ruth was able to save about 11" of Matt's hair for donation.

More information about how to donate hair can be found on the Locks of Love website. Let Ruth & Company help you pick out a new hairstyle, and help some kids out at the same time!
