2013 kicked my hiney!
I am ready to put the past behind me, eliminate the
exasperating events of last year from my mind and embrace the new year happily.
And with a new look too!
And guess what? I’m not the only one!
Meet my Mom:
(our not so glamorous before's)
On Thursday my lovely Mother and I got our hair chopped off
by the sweet Dawna Tate! A New look for a New Year! My mama took off about 6
inches of length and I took off about 4!
(our much better looking afters)
The sweet lady scheduled after us got a sassy new look and donated
her hair to ‘locks of love’!
(before)
(after)Which got me to wondering about the specific requirements about hair donations to ‘locks of love’ – so if you were curious too here’s the info direct from the website:
- Hair
that is colored or permed is acceptable.
- Hair
cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail or braid.
- Hair
that has been bleached (usually this refers to highlighted hair) is not
usable. If unsure, ask your stylist. We are not able to accept
bleached hair due to a chemical reaction that occurs during the
manufacturing process. **If the hair was bleached years ago and has
completely grown out it is fine to donate.
- Hair
that is swept off of the floor is not usable because it is not bundled in
a ponytail or braid.
- Hair
that is shaved off and not in a ponytail or braid is not usable. If
shaving your head, first divide hair into multiple ponytails to cut off.
- We
cannot accept dreadlocks. Our manufacturer is not able to use them in our
children’s hairpieces. We also cannot accept wigs, falls, hair extensions
or synthetic hair.
- Layered
hair is acceptable if the longest layer is 10 inches.
- Layered
hair may be divided into multiple ponytails.
- Curly
hair may be pulled straight to measure the minimum 10 inches.
- 10
inches measured tip to tip is the minimum length needed for a hairpiece.
