Many people that grow their hair out long often become too attached to it and refuse to cut it off. However, there are also those who can see a greater cause and will donate their hair to organizations such as locks of love. "Hair donation has become a popular way for women, children and men to contribute to a worthwhile cause."
On the website LiveStrong.com they explain how, if people are willing, they can donate their hair through six simple steps.
1. Choose an organization
2. Wash and dry the hair
3. Measure the length
4. Braid the hair
5. Cut it
6. Mail it
The hardest part of donating is letting go of that long hair. However, by letting go you are giving hope and confidence to someone who may need it more.
