This afternoon I went to my local Great Clips to get my hair cut. More importantly I was getting my hair cut to donate 9 inches to Beautiful Lengths by Pantene. I have been wanting to cut my hair for awhile, after some measuring I discovered I had enough hair to donate. This program only requires 8 inches vs. Locks of Love that requires 10 inches. I posted what I wanted to do on Facebook and had a lot of support and comments from my friends. The biggest thing that everyone kept saying was that Locks of Love is not a good company and they charge the patients for the wigs. I did a little research and discovered that Beautiful Lengths by Pantene doesn’t charge for the wig and they also make them for women not just kids.
When I was at Great Clips after the cut I was told that it was free of charge since I was donating my hair. I thought this was really nice and wanted to get a little bit more information to see if it was a national program. Turns out that the stores are a franchise and the owner can decide this. I would tell you check with your local store to see if they offer that service near you.
If you are looking for something good to do or just have a few inches to spare this was an interesting experience that I will never forget.
