How to Donate your Hair

End Result

1. Grow out your hair for many years. Take care to condition & trim split ends regularly.

 

2. Think about all the children suffering from hair loss that benefit from organizations like Locks of Love, etc. 

3. Locate a hair salon & make an appointment with a knowledgeable stylist. 

4. Print the instructions from hair donation organization & give to hair stylist when you arrive, making sure hair is clean, dry & either braided or in a ponytail. 

5. Suck it up and remember that all hair grows back eventually. 

7. Take a deep breath while they take off 10 inches (minimum) of your hair.

8. Place cut hair (rubberbanded) in a resealable bag & mail in padded envelope. 

9. Remember that your identity is in Christ as a beloved, adopted, child of God... not in any physical quality, beauty characteristic or other human trait.

10. As your hair begins to grow back, turn your focus towards praying for and intentionally developing a gentle, quiet spirit... one of submission to the Lord (& then your husband if you have one). 

"Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious" -I Peter 3:3-4
