North Harris College’s Pre-Medical and Health Sciences Society and NHC’s cosmetology students are seeking donors with long locks to contribute 10 inches of their hair or more to be given to the Locks of Love Organization. Locks of Love relies on hair donations to make wigs for children under going treatments such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy or who have alopecia areata, a long-term hair loss condition.

The student organizations have set April 9 and July 16 for hair collection dates. By releasing the event dates months in advance, organizers wanted to give as much notice as possible to the community so that potential supporters would have time to grow added hair length. On hair collection dates, cosmetology students of The Salon at North Harris College will cut and style donor’s hair free of charge as part of the community project. For additional information about the Locks of Love organization, please visit: www.locksoflove.org. For details about this project, please contact Ronald Co at [email protected].
