I’ve had three very close people to me give their long hair to Locks of Love where they cut it for a variety of reasons. Ivy even cut hers off to support a friend going through chemo, which I think was a groovy move.
I hope the people that cut Brittney Spears hair do the right thing and not sale her hair for the hell of it.
My uncle used to be Chief Research Pharmacist for St. Jude. We would go visit him and we saw a hell of a lot of bald kids who didn’t ask for the fate they had received.
Some kids could really use that hair for reasons beyond their control and it doesn’t have to be a big deal.
But, of course, it is because it’s dang Brittney Spears.
When my mom lost her hair when she was undergoing chemotherapy, she decided against a wig. I have respect for that.
So here you go. Obligatory Pop Culture Post of the Day. The people that cut off ole’ Britt’s hair could give it to Locks of Love. But, no, we are going to have a media event around it all.
Whatever.
I’m not sure Locks of Love can take color-treated hair. I don’t know enough about hair extensions to know what effect they have on hair.
Cathy,
That’s a good point that I hadn’t though about.
Yikes.
I think Brittney had extensions because in the current People magazine, there’s a picture of her made the weekend before the head shaving and her hair was not long. It was more about the length mine is.
That’s what I’m hearing.
I just had a cancer moment with this.
As I am far to opposite of being fashionable, extensions never even entered my mind.
I am so lame.
