Growing Out Your Hair for Donation

Tweet

I have donated my hair a couple times already. My hair grows quickly and it grows out fairly easily. Although, it is hard to maintain it and I've already got to the point where I basically have to braid it or there are way too many tangles. To donate your hair, it needs to be at least a 10 inch pony tail that you send in. I'm trying for a bit over that at minimum. I might even go longer, depending on how well this hair growing out thing goes. So have you ever grown out your hair for donation? I find it kind of ironic personally how I feel almost obligated to grow out my hair for the less fortunate people with alopecia (hair loss). Because usually once I cut off the braid a few months later I'll go for really short hair and shave my own head. If I went bald, I believe I'd just keep my head shaved. But I know for kids especially not everyone likes to get picked on and it is nice that groups provide options for them like wigs.
