How to Donate Hair to
Locks of Love:
1. Locks of Love accepts a minimum of 10 inches of human hair (no wigs, falls, or synthetic hair). Hair swept off the floor is not usable.
2. Bundle hair in a ponytail or braid.
3. Hair needs to be clean, dry, and placed in a plastic bag, then a padded envelope.
4. Locks of Love need hair from men and women, young and old, of all colors and races.
5. Hair may be colored or permed, but not bleached or chemically damaged (if unsure, ask your stylist).
6. Hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail or braid.
7. 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.
8. You may pull curly hair straight to measure the minimum 10 inches.
9. Layered hair may be divided into multiple ponytails for donation.
10. Anyone can cut your hair as long as the above guidelines are followed. A list of participating salons who cut donated hair for free is available online at locksoflove.org.
