After hearing about Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that provides hair pieces to children, Randi and Brooklyn knew they wanted to donate their hair.

Randi said it was an easy decision once she saw the before and after pictures of the children on the Locks of Love website. Actually seeing the difference the hairpieces made for the children still lingers in Randi's mind. As a mother, she can understand how you would want your child to feel confident and beautiful.

Most of the children that receive the hairpieces suffer from alopecia areata. This cause is unknown and there is no cure. This disease is an autoimmune skin disease resulting in the loss of hair on the scalp and elsewhere on the body.

This was fun for Brooklyn. She really understood what this particular hair cut was all about. In fact, her mother says that Brooklyn wants to grow her hair long again so she can donate more hair. Randi says that Brooklyn loves her new hairstyle. A total of 24 inches was cut from Randi's hair and Brooklyn's hair.
