Just one more reason I have never given my hair to them and never will.

It's a shamed to be crooked.

There was discussion on this a while back. It's a shame, and it's been known or at least suspected by many here for a very long time now. I feel bad for all those who donated their long hair and whose donations meant so much to them. For some people, it must be heartbreaking to see this.

“We created this monster because people get so much from it,” said Madonna Coffman, the president of Locks of Love. “They get the attention. They get a warm and fuzzy feeling. They feel they’re going to help a child.”
“A check would be easier for me,” Ms. Coffman said. “But would the donors get out of it what they do? No.”

I think that's our Heidi W who is also quoted in the newspaper story.

Few things make me glad I have grey hair, but at least I get to point out that Locks of Love can't use it!
