WHAT IS LOCKS OF LOVE?
Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization
that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged
children under age 18 suffering from long-term
medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet
a unique need for children by using donated hair
to create the highest quality hair prosthetics.
Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have
lost their hair due to a medical condition called
alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure.
The prostheses we provide help to restore their
self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them
to face the world and their peers.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to return a sense of self,
confidence and normalcy to children suffering
from hair loss by utilizing donated ponytails
to provide the highest quality hair prosthetics
to financially disadvantaged children.
The children receive hair prostheses free of charge
or on a sliding scale, based on financial need.
