WHAT IS LOCKS OF LOVE?
Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization
that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged
children in the United States and Canada under
age 21 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.
