15 inches cut at Paul Mitchell
I finally sucked it up and decided to send my hair out to Patene's Beautiful Lengths. I know there are many other wonderful hair donation programs out there like Locks of Love, Angel Hair for Kids, Wigs for Kids etc. I ultimately chose Patene's Beaituful Lengths because I love Patene's Mission to benefit women who have lost their hair to cancer. Locks of Love is very popular with children who want to donate their hair to children who have lost their hair, which helped me decide that I wanted to help other women.
After reading the websites, I've learned that Locks of Love do sell their hair pieces to children 21 and under, while Patene's Beautiful Length solely benefit women whose hair loss was attributed to cancer. I was never keen on the idea of my hair being sold, hence my decision to donate... I would like the recipient of my hair to not have to pay for a hair piece after everything that they've gone through.
All this research really makes you realize how much we take for granted, things like having hair... if you ever want to do something great for someone, this is an easy and significant way to do it. It's a beautiful thing knowing that you can effortlessly change someone's life around.
No matter which charity you choose, you are doing a wonderful thing.
I would love to know if you have donated your hair or ever consider donating? Where did you end up sending your love?
