Listen to Kevin Cooper’s Story on Growing His Hair and Donating it

We have a Texas Cosmetology Salon – or in the old vernacular and Beauty Salon or Beauty Shop in Sherman, Texas that is part of Bella Fontana Spa. We call it the Bella SpaDiva Salon. We had a client in today, August 27, 2011, that is donating his hair to Locks of Love.

At the beginning of the process we took a video of Kevin Cooper before to commemorate his beautiful hair! Then off to the salon for one of our stylists to perform the hair cut preserving as much hair for donation as possible, then styling it to transition to grow it again to donate to Locks of Love. The transitional hair style is important because Kevin intends to grow another ten inches to donate again. Since his hair will initially have some layers, we will trim the hair every few weeks to bring it back to a blunt cut at shoulder length and trim to keep it healthy for another three years of growth.

 

 

Why is Kevin Cooper donating his hair? Listen to his story:

 

 

When cutting for donations, we begin the cut to preserve the most length possible to donate so that it can be worked into the wigs and hairpieces for children that are cancer patients. Here is Kevin Cooper’s example of the initial cut. Then the hair style is designed around the shortest remaining pieces to transition to grow again for donation or to the style of your choice. Please consider the adjustment you will make when going from long to short. 10 inches are required for donation, although Locks of Love will use shorter amounts in the hair trade to help fund the organization. Here is the Locks of Love policy statement on using shorter hair:

Shorter hair will be separated from the ponytails and sold to offset the manufacturing costs. Although the shorter hair cannot be used in the hairpieces, it still greatly helps to reduce costs.
