I have highlights can I donate my hair to locks of love, wigs for kids ect. ?

I've been growing out my hair to donate it but I have highlights so I hope my hair is healthy enough to donateI have highlights can I donate my hair to locks of love, wigs for kids ect. ?
thats so nice of you to do something like that ive never heard of those charities/companies?? im not sure what they are but i really doubt having highlights would make it a problem if your highlights are old are your hair is in good condition im guessing it would be fine


once again thats really nice of you, you sound like a good person


good luck!! =]I have highlights can I donate my hair to locks of love, wigs for kids ect. ?
Yes you can. You can donate hair that is colored or permed. My 7 year old niece just donated her hair to the Locks of Love. I think it's a great opportunity! Good luck and thanks if you do, do it.
if its haelthy and just feels natural you can donate
you have to have completely virgin hair. no color, perms, or anything.
I thought you had to have virgin hair or something???
no you need to have virgin hair
this is from the locks of love site





GUIDELINES FOR ACCEPTABLE DONATIONS


Hair that is colored or permed is acceptable.


Hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail or braid.


Hair that has been bleached (usually this refers to highlighted hair) is not usable. If unsure, ask your stylist. We are not able to accept bleached hair due to a chemical reaction that occurs during the manufacturing process.


Hair that is swept off of the floor is not usable because it is not bundled in a ponytail or braid.


Hair that is shaved off and not in a ponytail or braid is not usable. If shaving your head, first divide hair into multiple ponytails to cut off.


We cannot accept dreadlocks. Our manufacturer is not able to use them in our children鈥檚 hairpieces. We also cannot accept wigs, falls, hair extensions or synthetic hair.


Layered hair is acceptable if the longest layer is 10 inches.


Layered hair may be divided into multiple ponytails.


Curly hair may be pulled straight to measure the minimum 10 inches.


10 inches measured tip to tip is the minimum length needed for a hairpiece.
If you truly have highlights (blond and bleached), then no. None of the organizations will accept it. Locks of Love will sell it and use the money to help offset its costs for wig making, etc. Not entirely sure what any of the other groups would do.





You could consider giving it to something like Matters of Trust, which makes oil spill mats out of human hair. They don't care what condition it's in.
Yes you can. It does not matter what your hair looks like, it just matters that it is hair and you are giving it to a good cause.
