So, I am writing this letter to the organization and I hope I can get some photos back from whoever gets a wig made out of the hair.
Dear Locks of Love,
After much thought and going 7 months without a haircut, I decided to lop off my tresses. I would like to donate my hair to your organization. I saw those photos of the children who lost their hair due to illness and would love to help someone get a brand new wig made out of my hair. My hair is black so I imagine it might suit an Asian person, or anyone in need of black hair.
I did a mini-blog where there are photos. I got my haircut done at a salon in LES, called Fringe. Fringe is located in the Lower East Side. They did a great job with it. I would love to find out more about the little girl who gets the hair, and what she looks like. How old might she be, and where does she live?
Your site is amazing and an inspiration to all. I loved seeing the “before and after.” It made me realize that in this day and age, kids get chemotherapy, or suffer from early alopecia. Many celebrities may cut their hair off to make a political statement or to change their appearance. When women don’t have a choice of hairstyle because their hair is gone, I’d imagine there is a lot of stigma and teasing in early-adolescent development. I also enclosed some candy and soap. There is a notebook for the girl that gets the wig. I’d love it if she got a chance to write stories in it, or to share poetry and reflections. The soap is from the store at the end of my block, Sabon.
Enclosed is a check for $x from the following people (insert your name here), and a card for the salon where it was cut. (I am going to contribute $50 and if you are reading this and want to contribute, please feel free to send a check to:
