Hair Donor Questions & Answers 1. Q. Where do I go to get my hair cut? A. You can go anywhere to get your hair cut as long as the donation guidelines listed on our website are followed. We encourage our donors to go to a salon they are already familiar with so they will be comfortable when making their donation. View Donation Guidelines. top button 2. Q. Do you have a list of participating salons? A. We do not maintain a list of participating salons. If there is a participating salon in your area, they should have a Locks of Love decal in their window. If you have salons in your area that are part of a national chain, many times they participate. Also, you can try an online search, entering Locks of Love salon and your city and state. top button 3. Q. How do I package my donation? A. Ponytails need to be completely dry before they are mailed. Place the ponytail in a Ziploc bag, and then inside of a padded envelope. Be sure to include the donor’s name and address on a separate sheet of paper so we can send out an acknowledgment card. 4. Q. What if I can’t download the hair donation form? A. The hair donation form is not required to donate. If you cannot download the form, we ask that you include your name and address on a separate sheet of paper so we can send out an acknowledgment card. 5. Q. Where do I send my donation? A. All donations must be mailed to Locks of Love at: 2925 10th Ave N Suite 102 Lake Worth, FL 33461-3099 6. Q. What is the minimum length for a hair donation? A. At least 10 inches is needed to be used in a hairpiece. 7. Q. Why is the minimum length 10 inches? A. The manufacturing process uses up to two inches, leaving only eight inches (jaw length). Most of the children who receive hairpieces from Locks of Love are little girls, and most want long hair. When we need to provide a hairpiece to a boy, we use some of the shorter lengths that have been separated by hand from each donated ponytail. 8. Q. Does Locks of Love sell hair? A. Yes, hair that is short, gray, or otherwise unusable will be sold to help offset manufacturing costs. 9. Q. Can I donate gray hair? A. Yes, we can accept donations of gray hair. Because we only provide hairpieces to children, we cannot use this hair in a hairpiece but will sell it to offset our manufacturing costs. 10. Q. Can I donate colored hair? A. Yes, we can accept donations of colored hair. 11. Q. Can I donate permed hair? A. Yes, we can accept donations of permed hair. 12. Q. Can I donate bleached hair? A. No, we cannot use bleached hair. The bleach causes the hair to dissolve as it goes through the manufacturing process. Note: Many times highlights are done with bleach. 13. Q. Can I donate dreadlocks? A. 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. 14. Q. How many ponytails does it take to make one hairpiece? A. Six to 10 donated ponytails go into one hairpiece. 15. Q. Can I meet the child who receives my hair? A. We cannot link donors with recipients for two reasons: 1. Because 6-10 ponytails go into one hairpiece, tracking each ponytail would not be financially feasible. 2. Because all applicants are minors, we must protect the children’s privacy.
