Will cutting my hair make a difference?

FYI for those interested:Locks of Love

I used to donate there, but they have a lot of questionable accounting issues and not many actual wigs made per donations accepted.

My new favorite is: HOME
There is also this one: Hair Donation | Pantene Beautiful Lengths


Apparently healthy, undyed hair sells for a lot too, but I've never investigated that.

Ah... of course.... for hair extensions and wigs.

Doesn't it seem odd, though, to cut off your hair so someone else can put it on their head to feel more beautiful?

It's used for people going through chemotherapy.

Lots of other things too; but medical needs, not just pure vanity. I actually think one problem a lot of people have with Locks of Love is that the wigs -rarely- go to cancer patients (alopecia is the most common reason; cancer is not seen as permanent hair loss, so they get synthetic wigs). My problem is that the don't make very many wigs and sell most of the hair.

that and the wigs with the artificial hair are much much cheaper and easier to take care of... a couple of hundred vs over a thousand dollars. mom is going thru chemo right now.

with long hair it's less how long it is overall but how long your bangs are that tends to matter -- mine used to get caught under the mask all the time when i had long hair - but now i keep it more of a crew cut so it's a moot point with me except for beard stubble causing leak points.

No bangs here. And no stubble, thank goodness.

if no bangs then you should be fine - just check the tightness of the mask

and i should hope no stubble for you --- beards seem not quite right on women for some reason...

If it was long and you get it cut short it removes one way to do a tired swimmer tow.
