I also hate locks of love. As a guy, I always have worn my hair very long (usually hip length to be exact) and a few years back I decided to donate SOME of my hair. So I went in just expecting to get about 8 inches or so off. But they SHAVED it off. After I was very regretful. I asked them where my long hair was going. All they said was “Uhhhh…” and then they said “Get out.” in a very forceful tone. My hair has grown back to about the same length it was before. I learned somthing: Never trust or donate to Locks of Love.

My daughter has beautiful waist length hair, and she loves her hair. We can’t even going into a store unless we hear about LOL. We have had numerous people in our family with cancer not one has had LOL hair, these wigs are very costly, we tell them they are beautiful the way they are they don’t want a wig. I remember before my wedding I also had very long hair, I have never liked my hair short, I got all these beautiful things to put in my hair on my wedding day. Well, I made a mistake I went up to get a trim and the lady cut all my hair off for LoL, I was so depressed for months. My poor friend had her hair pass her waist, it takes years to get your hair this long, I felt so sorry for her she also went to get a trimmed and they cut her hair so short, she got so depressed, she looked like she had cancer it was awful. My mother and brother passed only a year a part. I had a young cousin with cancer she was more interested in getting well than the hair on her head. My daughter has also had to fight heart disease but you can’t see that but she is not ashamed of her scar, it won’t go away and she can’t grow it back. People are beautiful, doesn’t matter if you have a scar from surgery, being burned, or not having hair, a missing leg or arm. My daughter has beautiful long hair it is a part of her it makes her who she is, she is not being bad because she wants to keep her hair. “God” gave the hair to her and it is hers growing crown of glory. So does this mean that we should have something for people with scars like the one of my daughter’s chest, she believes that her scar is not bad but a way of saying that she was lucky to be alive. Some clothes no matter how high up still show part of her scar she just explains that she had surgery when she was little. I do not know one person in my life that has LoL hair, I find this odd. The sad part about this is we watched on tv, wife swap, there was one lady bragging on one show how she got the LOL hair, and she even said thanks on the show, and guess what she wasn’t sick, just wanted the real hair.

I knew about this years ago. I have butt length hair and I’ve had people goad me endlessly, trying to make me feel guilty that I would NOT cut my hair. Then someone told me it was all a sham anyway and they didn’t donate hair to cancer patients, they sold it.

So I used to feel guilty, but no more. I love my long hair, it is my “security blanket”, it’s MINE and it’s a lot of work to take care if and if anyone ever gives me grief again they better be prepared to hear an ear full.

I had no idea that people with long hair were being hassled by non-donators. It’s a shame that those people don’t understand that their good intentions are being lost in their poor delivery.

I have donated my hair to LoL twice and am almost ready to donate again. When people notice the huge change in my appearance, I mention that I donated it (to help spread the word/idea), but I would never think to put someone down for not donating. Even if I did cross the line to urging people to donate, at least I wouldn’t be a hypocrite like the others that were described.

Interestingly, I have actually been hassled by certain family members who don’t want me to cut my hair (even though they know it will be donated). They say nice things about my hair being so pretty and they like it longer, but really it’s quite annoying. Why do all these people think they have a say in how someone else keeps their hair? I think JJJ and I should swap out the people in our lives, since that would seem like a better match

The funny thing is, I didn’t get into donating because I’m such an altruistic person. I’m cheap. I like my hair short, but don’t like to pay for haircuts. So I would only get it cut twice a year. One day it dawned on me that getting it cut once a year wouldn’t be that much of a change in my routine, I’d save even more money, and I could donate it, too. Seemed like a win-win to me.

This article has got me thinking, though. Not about IF I will donate again (I will) but where I will send my hair. Thanks for spurring me to do more research.

Comment on Angie’s List? by Thomas

Thomas — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 12:28:40 +0000

Yeah, I found the same thing when I first went to Angie’s List. Couldn’t get a trial, or see if there were any ratings without first paying.

That was enough for me and I’ve never been back, and won’t go back. However, in all fairness if they have made changes to the site now, then that may be better, but for me the damage was done. Seems obvious to me to give at least a free trial in the beginning, but they didn’t, and this tells me it’s just another entity out there looking for money. :smack:

As far as it being a storehouse of useful resources. There’s no way you could trust any of the contractors, doctors, mechanics, etc on Angie’s List any more than looking thru the Yellow pages.

Just because you’re on Angie’s List doesn’t make you a good/decent company to do business with. All it means is they paid to be there….big deal.

As proof in the other post here, it’s obvious the bad apples are on Angie’s List just like they are everywhere else, except on Angie’s List, you’re paying to find someone to rip you off, whereas you can do it for free in the Yellow Pages.

Save your money people. :2cents:

Comment on Locks of Love is a scam by loryn

hi my name is loryn and i am 16 years old. i have a disease called alopecia universalis which is the rarest and most severe form of alopecia. this artical fails to mention the immune system that has come along with this disease; i’m not perfectly healthy, not at all. alopecia is a disease where your immune system attacks itself, meaning it doesnt really have time to fight off anything else that comes it’s way. besides the steroids i have to take to try and make my hair grow that also lower my immune system. locks of love doesnt JUST contribute to alopecians. many cancer patients have also recieved wigs. i have recently benefited from a wig locks of love gave to me. they dont just give any cheap wigs away; these people use remy hair, which is the highest quality of hair on the market. i’d also like to point out that locks of love is a nonprofit organization. any money that they make off of unusable hair goes twards the cost of making these wigs. there is a long process in making these wigs. it can take up to 4 months. they take a mold of your head, and it is a silicone casing for your head. this wig without locks of love would’ve cost me upwards of 8,000. the silicone cap will allow me to swim with it on, and it form fit to your head. this wig will truely be a blessing for me and my family. locks of love is far from a scam, i am thankful every day for it.

I don’t think I’ve worn a scarf since I was in elementary school. I didn’t realize that is the name for that style.
