Childrens Talking

What are the requirements for donating hair for childrens wigs?

My 6 year old daughter asked me if she could donate her hair to make wigs for kids who have cancer. We live in Toronto and her hair is VERY curly–we’re talking spiral curls. Do we measure it curly or do I have to straighten it to measure it?

Generally you can pull it straight to measure it. But let me suggest that you research your chosen charity very carefully. Many people give to Locks of Love, but the fact is that it’s very unlikely that your donation will be made into a wig for kids with cancer. If it’s made into a wig, it will more likely go to kids with alopecia. And most of their donations are actually sold. Pantene has a better program and they actually explain the process more thoroughly. The program is called “Beautiful Lengths.”

Crosby, Stills & Nash (1st Album, Expanded and Remastered) $6.06 As much as any record, CSN’s 1969 debut ushered in the early ’70s singer-songwriter boom. Yes, this was a group, but it was one made up of three coequal composer/vocalists, each with a heady resume–Crosby an ex- Byrd, Stills in Buffalo Springfield, and Nash a former member of the Hollies. Each supplied distinctive material and contributed to CSN’s trademark harmonies. The addition of Neil Young m…
