HAIR

As we all know, i have a lot if it. yes, hair. My friend was saying how she's growing her hair out a little bit longer so that she could donate it to locks of love and I thought.. well my hair is pretty long now.. i wonder if i could donate it! And to my luck, they take permed hair! My hair is pretty long now (almost to my belly button) and thick! So hopefully my 10inches or so can actually make 1 wig because apparently it takes 20-30 donations to make a wig! I think it has to do with length and color.

So of course everyone knows Locks of Love

However, there has been much controversy surrounding this organization as I have learned on Wikipedia. A common misconception is that the hair donated will be made into wigs for cancer patients but this organization was actually made to help people with the illness alopecia. The organization also apparently raised a lot of money selling donated hair but only provided 113 human hair wigs. How mysterious...

So I googled donating hair and found a different organization called Wigs for Kids.

Both have really cute logos! But what I thought was cool about this site was that it showed you the process of "How your hair becomes their hair"

Which makes me feel more at ease knowing where my hair goes and how my hair is made into a wig should I decide to donate it. If I do decide to donate it I'll have to grow it out a little be longer because I'm sorry but I don't want to be stuck with this haircut:

Once upon a time in first grade I did have a haircut similar to this little girl's except my hair is 10x thicker than hers so... don't want to bring back that look anytime soon.
