Don’t Donate Your Hair! Save it for yourself or a loved one.

Do you realize that hair collected at mass media shave-a-thons by not-for-profit organizations that you’ve see on television throw away half of what they’ve collected from their donors? In other words, you might have shaven your head and felt good about what you have done, but your hair might have ended up in the trash or sold back to the hair industry.
