I looked into that. But the number of bald-headed kids on chemo who would be depressed by a wig with some temporal grey innit was greater than those who would be filled with joy about it. As far as I could tell anyway.

There are plenty of older folks on chemo who lose their hair and would be happy for some natural grey. ;)

Really. Ok, I"ll check into it again. I thought it was just for kids.

I guess Locks of Love does limit recipients to youths, and even charges them. They've also been called out for selling excess donated hair to commercial wigmakers! Boo!

Here is the place to go: http://beautifullengths.wordpress.com/

A partnership between ACS & Pantene. The wigs are donated to cancer patients of all ages who can't afford them. Real human hair wigs are very pricey - and look the best, of course.

The upside is you'll start fresh with brand new, totally healthy tresses.
