It's been brought up before. Heidi W. and I think one other LHCer? were interviewed for that article.

It is a good article. I actually have a small blurb and a link printed off and stuffed in my car. I tend to run off at the mouth when someone asks me if I donate my hair. My husband was appalled the first time I was asked, his thinking was - can't I just grow it for me. He's relatively armed with information now too
This thread has some elaboration on other options. I knew there was a reason that article felt familiar!

Very interesting.
It just shows how much the public, and myself, are unaware how much hair is not used.
Thanks for posting that Curlsgirl.

How awesome that the woman with calf length hair stood up for herself when people though it was selfish NOT to donate her hair. I wish alot of people would ready how much hair LOL throws away *sigh*

Am I the only one who doesn't get how these hair-donation organizations say on their sites that the hair must be contained in a ponytail, i.e. they have to pony it and cut above it, and yet the articles show pictures like this?
Or is that the world's smallest ponytail?? WTF?

“A check would be easier for me,” Ms. Coffman said. “But would the donors get out of it what they do? No.”
Aww, don't tell me she is being charitable that way, too, making sure everyone gets that "warm, fuzzy feeling." I mean, if a check is easier, why doesn't she darn well ask for checks instead of hair?? Why encourage donations for nothing?
Or is it just a teeny bit possible that people wouldn't shower her with checks the way they do with hair?
Yeah, it really does seem kind of shady- especially when you compare the amount of hair donations received vs. the amount of wigs actually given away. What's annoying is I know people who have given away their hair, and I'm sure they would not have given it away if they had known about this. People give away their hair so they can help other people, not so they can get a "warm and fuzzy feeling".
