Today at the restaurant a group came in that had two young-ish girls- one about 5 and the other 11. They both had gorgeous curly hair that came to the middle of their backs and was completely loose and beautiful the way only children’s hair is. The older girl’s hair was this great shade of blonde that I couldn’t help but say ‘you have really beautiful hair. I hope you don’t get weirded out by that.’ The woman sitting next to her said ‘oh, I’ve been saying that all day. She’s going to cut it.’ I expressed my surprise and asked why and was told she was donating it. I asked who she was donating it to and the girl said she hadn’t decided. I told her about Pantene great lengths and Locks of Love, and that LOL gives wigs to kids with alopecia, as well as how they charge some recipients on a sliding scale. They seemed a little taken aback that I knew so much about them, and said they’d pass on the info to the girl’s mom. I also mentioned that Jennifer Garner donated to Pantene Great Lengths for the celeb-factor (later I remembered it was more likely Hillary Swank- oops!) and that they do wigs for actual cancer patients. I felt all glowy inside that I could pass along the most accurate information to somebody.
