Locks of Love
My hair right now is a little past my shoulders and for me, it's long. I was thinking about growing it out longer to about the middle of my back and then cut it to a little past my chin and donate my hair to Locks of love. My question is, what is the minimum in inches of hair you can donate? Thanks for the help!

This is the information from the locks of love website. It says 10in, but i think you also need 1/2 above the ponytail for the hairperson to cut! So when deciding how long you want your hair to be afterwards (and therefore how long you need to grow your hair to) you may want to take that into consideration!
1.We accept 10" minimum hair length (tip to tip), not wigs, falls, or synthetic hair
2.Please bundle hair in ponytail or braid.
3.Hair needs to be clean, dry, placed in a plastic bag, then padded envelope.
4.We need hair from men and women, young and old, all colors and races.
5.Hair may be colored or permed, but not bleached or chemically damaged (if unsure, ask your stylist).
6.Hair swept off the floor is not usable.
7.Hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail.
8.Hair that is short, gray, or unsuitable for children will be separated from the ponytails and sold at fair market value to offset the cost of manufacturing.
9.You may pull curly hair straight to measure the minimum 10".
10.The majority of all hair donated comes from children who wish to help other children.
11.Layered hair may be divided into multiple ponytails for donation.
12.Please note: Anyone can cut your hair as long as the above guidelines are followed.
You are very sweet for wanting to do this. I've thought about it, but I think i'm too scared to cut off my long hair! If you need any more information on locks of love their website is www.locksoflove.com!

I think that it is really awsome that you are doing that. 3 of my friends did that. I'm pretty sure that you have to cut off at least 10 inches. Good luck!

My friend did it, and as others said, it's 10 inches. If your hair is curly they may straighten it. But just be SURE to tell your stylist that you want to donate it. Then they can keep it in a ponytail and everything for you.

that's very nice of you! well my cousin did it and it had to be 10 inches

It must be at least 10 inches. I know, isn't that a long length? :) Yeah well for curly haired people they straighten it out then chop it off and I know you must put your hair in a ponytail too before cutting it. I think that you're doing a great thing by donating your hair! Keep it up! :)
