Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital will host “LOCKS OF LOVE” hair donation drive to help children with medical hair loss achieve self-esteem and confidence
The donation drive will be Friday, Oct. 8, 2010, from 3 to 8 pm, at The Patricia L. Scheifly Breast Health Center, 12393 Washington Blvd., Whittier.
Anyone wishing to participate in the hair donation drive should come to the center on the date and time listed above.
There will be licensed beauticians available to cut hair and they will also style hair for a $10 contribution. For more information or if you would like to schedule a specific time to come by the center, please call 562.698.0811 Ext. 15638.
Hair donations need to meet the following guidelines: the donated hair must be at least 10 inches (preferably 12") in length and the hair must be free of bleach (colored hair and permed hair are fine).
Locks of Love is a not-for-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children 18 and younger with medical hair loss. Locks of Love provides its recipients with a custom, vacuum-fitted hairpiece made entirely from donated human hair. The vacuum fit is designed for children who have experienced a total loss of scalp hair and does not require the use of tape or glue.
Additionally, the Mariposa, a unique wellness boutique, will be open and will offer a free hand massage and free hand lotion sample to guests who stop by during the “Locks of Love” event.
