Last year when I got mine cut I got it layer and I dried it all 80's Farrah faucet like, the feather thing. Daughter wanted to know how I did it. It made me laugh that she'd never seen hair like that.
Vette, you should look up locks of live on the net. They sell that hair. In the timethey've been in operation they've only given away like 11,000 wigs to kids with diseases where their hair doesn't grow right. Those kids have to write an essay on why they want the wig to get it. They don't do wigs for cancer patients like people think they do.

Okay, enough technical stuff there. In 2002, LoL received enough hair to make approximately 10,000 hairpieces. What a huge difference this would make to those under 18 with hair loss. Yet give.org cites they only made 113 wigs from human hair in that same year along with 61 other pieces for a total of 174 hairpieces. Where did the other 9,826 potential hairpieces go? Also, according to give.org, LoL does not open their financial records to the public like any reputable charity should. They have since remedied this as of 2007.
According to its tax returns, Locks of Love made $1.9 million from hair sales from 2001 to 2006
