Hair Loss Cure

Rather like Pantene Beautiful Lengths uses hair donated by people who go for haircuts to make wigs which are then distributed free to women undergoing cancer treatment, Locks of Love is another organization that uses cut hair for a worthy cause for aiding the underprivileged.

Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially underprivileged children in the United States and Canada under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. They transform donated hair into good quality hair prosthetics. The children receive hair pieces free of charge based on financial need.

The organization seeks to help those children who have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata , which has no known cause or cure. The aim is to restore the children’s self-esteem and confidence, and their mission statement is,

To return a sense of self, confidence and normalcy to children suffering from hair loss by utilizing donated ponytails to provide the highest quality hair prosthetics to financially disadvantaged children.

So next time that you decide to take a haircut, give a thought to the underprivileged children who may need the hair and the help.
