Locks of Love

Morgan has been growing out her hair so that she could donate it to an organization called Locks of Love (www.locksoflove.org). Locks of Love collects hair donations at least 10 inches in length in order to create real hair wigs for children who need them due to an illness or condition. We have been measuring since she came to stay with us and it was finally long enough to be cut.


Here is the last picture of her with super long hair right before Ms. Amanda washed it.




And here is the finished product.



Morgan has natural curl in her hair so this is an easy style for her to just wash and go.


For fun, I straightened her hair with my flat iron and we decided we loved it that way too.




I mailed off the hair and the paperwork and Morgan should be receiving a certificate from them in the mail within the next couple of months. She liked being able to donate her hair and thinks she will let it grow out again at some point to donate again. It is a fun and somewhat easy service project for kids and is a great way for them to feel like they are making a difference in someone's life.
