Locks of Love
Navtej Kohli has given me the opportunity to write about my current favourite charity - Locks of Love.
Locks of Love? create wigs for children who suffer from hair loss as a result of a medical illness such as Cancer. I am sure that you can appreciate how hard it is to be a child in today’s world, let alone when they are suffering from an illness and losing their hair in the process. Unlike with Adults, where you might be able to get a wig of sorts off the peg, you cannot get a child size wig. And for a wig to feel natural and look natural they need to be made specifically for the child. Locks of Love do exactly that.
This is perhaps a rather unusual charity in the sense that they do not just ask or need money, but they appreciate your donated hair. And? the best bit about this charity is? that over 90% goes directly to the children unlike other charities where more than? half can go to administration costs.
So it does not matter if you cannot afford to donate money to them, your hair could be just as important. Just visit Locks of Love for further details.

Oh! I love Locks Of Love! I purposely grow my hair out long enough to donate between hair cuts!

That is really nice of you. It is such a simple thing that costs next nothing and can help so much. May your hair keep growing quickly and beautifully.
