How to donate my hair
It made me
SO HAPPY
 "I wanted to donate my hair and thought maybe a few of my students would join me... 90 kids later, we raised 4 lbs of hair and $11,000 for cancer! WOOOOHOOO!"
How I did it: As a teacher, I started a campaign called, "DO Something...Get a New 'DO!" and spread the word at school, hoping to get maybe 10 kids to donate their hair with me. The kids started signing up and before I knew it, it got a life of its own! I called some professional stylists to volunteer to give us new "DOs." We had 16 stylists come to the school for the big cut on Oct 22, 2008. OVER 90 KIDS participated and we collected 4 lbs of hair for Pantene's Beautiful Lengths (min 8" but no dyes) and Locks of Love (min 10" but dyes allowed). We donated the $11,000 raised by our participants to cancer research. It was absolutely incredible! Lessons & tips: Never underestimate the willingness of high school students to make a difference in the world.

simplyworded should be sleeping!
How I did it: This was my fourth time donating my hair in 4 years. It was 11 inches this time, the longest yet. I am always very scared to cut my hair. I'm worried the cut will look bad, that my hair will be too short... It's my comfort-my hair. So in the end I finally went and just said "Cut it off." The hard part this time was that they didn't just take my hair to the back of the salon, they didn't send hair so I had to take it myself. I was horrifie… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had very long hair as a child and I chopped it all off one day....I love the experience so much that i have donated my hair 3 more times and i am growing it out for my fifth donation now! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I cut it off!! it was at my butt and now it's at my shoulders. wow! I donated to pantene in memory of my mother, who had cancer. I think that she would have been proud. Read how I did it…
Kelso A nightmare straight from an Otto Dix.
How I did it: A year or two ago, I had hair that went down to the middle of my back. I got sick of hassling with it - thick and wavy hair doesn't get easier to maintain when it's super long and non-layered. Then Locks of Love came to mind. The next opportunity that came along (about a month after I decided to cut off my hair), I went to the salon and successfully cut eleven inches off to send in to Locks of Lo… Read how I did it…
How I did it: It's easy. Let your hair grow for a couple of years. Then cut it! Don't give up, don't get frustrated. Long hair can be really fun, so you might as well enjoy it while it's there. And it's wonderful to donate something so personal to you. Read how I did it…
salaleigh wants life to slow down - there is a need to get off
I asked today when I got my hair trimmed, and after talking it over we decided to wait about a month. I’m super stoked; I haven’t changed my hair in a long time, and in December I know I’ll need a pick-me-up.
My hair is growing pretty slow. Its about 5 months in and only about 4 inches

I had 18” cut off in 2006. I had wanted to chop it off for years, but my parents never let me. So when I legally became an adult, it seemed only natural to cut an inch for every year :)I donated my pony tail to locks of love.
I would like to donate again, but it’ll be awhile as I’ve had too much fun destroying my hair with dye.
swankswede13 is feeling better
I haven’t measured my hair in a while, but it’s getting pretty long. I’m a guy, so I don’t really need to save anything if I get it cut. I can get it down to a buzz cut and still be socially accepted in most circles. I don’t know how to measure my hair like this. I think most people put it into a ponytail and measure that from the binder. I don’t want to do it that way.
I’ve donated my hair before, but I want to do it again! My hair is about 3 inches shy from being at my waist, and, when it gets there, I’ll donate it. I keep my hair nice and healthy…get it trimmed every three months, avoiding irons/hairdryers/etc…
I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve just a little nervous about decided how I want to cut my hair.
I picked the donation place, I have a few selections for hairstyles after it’s cut, I just need to do it! Stop procrastinating! Hair grows, the longness will be back. Gah!
Ribbet is sick. Oh noes.
I used to have really long hair when I was younger. But when I was in 5th grade, I got cut it short, and my hair has stayed short ever since. Now I’m going to grow it out and donate it.
I have an obsession of experimenting with my hair. Different colours, short, long…you know? To donate my hair, it has to be natural, not dyed nor permed. So my goal is to grow my hair long with out doing anything to it except washing daily. Currently, my hair is blue/green colour so i would have to wait ‘til that grows out.
I love my long hair. but i’m gonna do this. the though about a little child or somebody else walking around with my hair and feeling pretty and happy makes me so happy. im gonna do it. im just scared. I LOVE MY LONG HAIR. well well, im gonna do it.
