From knee length to mid back length ... and now cut to shoulder length! That's alot of beautiful hair gone for Locks of Love.
I really hope she doesn't regret it one day because I've heard sad things about Locks of Love.
The truth is that LoL does NOT give hairpieces to kids with cancer; it says so right on their website.
The truth is also that LoL has plenty of hair and often sells the hair--which means that when you dream of your hair on the head of a little kid, it may indeed be on Paris Hilton.
Frankly, if I were going to donate to them I'd give them money. I think it's incredibly deceptive of LoL to not work harder to defeat the image of the hair going to kids with cancer and to continue to ask for hair rather than saying "we have enough, please send money instead." Especially when you consider the number of people who grow their hair specifically for LoL, grooming it carefully while imagining the joy of the child who will receive it when in fact some rich woman might buy it as a wig, or those who don't really want to cut their hair yet are pressured into doing it. I'm amazed by the number of people who, after donating, learn about LoL's deceptive practices and are immediately incensed and wish they had their hair back.
Again it's a great gesture from your daughter but LoL isn't as holy as they say...
