A good cause, Locks of Loves was started by Madonna W. Coffman on May 28, 1997. They make wigs and give those to children suffering from medical hair loss, do not discriminate by the cause of hair loss, and they provide free wigs to people under 21. They always encourage others, especially kids, to donate their hair. Many salons voluntarily participate in this charity work, and Locks of Love organizes events like cut-a-thon to celebrate this good deed. But where can I find Locks of Love?
They take hair donations via mail and allow the donors to be acknowledged by making them follow an online form available on their website.
The requirements for donation-worthy hair are simple: at least 10 inches in length, healthy, and not bleached. You can also send them colored hair or gray hair. But as they cannot make children’s hairpieces from gray hair, they sell them to offset a small portion of their manufacturing costs.
Many celebrities have also made hair donations through Locks of Love. For Examples, such as Astronaut Sunita Williams, Astronaut Joan Higginbotham, All-American football player Gabe Carimi, wrestler The Honky Tonk Man, National Hockey League player George Parros and many others.

Multiple salons in El Paso, TX, have participated in Locks of Love. You can get a haircut at those specific salons, and your hair will be sent for donation to the Locks of Love authorities by the salon itself. For example, a salon named ‘Yes We Do’ partners with Locks of Love, which means you can have your haircut there and ask them to donate your hair to Locks of Love. In the year 2015, five girls from El Paso donated their hair to Locks of Love. Those kind girls are Bianka Navarrette, Aubany Trevizo, Sasha Apodaca, Bella Apodaca, and Xitlali Ramirez. All of them were kids, and their happy faces while getting haircuts melted our hearts. Only nine years old Bianka got her very first haircut that day. Their story definitely encourages others to do this good deed.
