Legitimate hair donation organizations?

Question

I've been growing my hair out so that I can donate it, and the organization that I had been planning on donating to was Locks of Love. However, lately I've been hearing that this is a scam- that LOL only uses a small percentage of the hair they recieve to make wigs for hair loss patients, and that the rest is sold for their own profit. Is this true? =S If so, what is a legitimate organization that I can donate my hair to?

Answer 1

I had not heard that, I have donated my hair 4 times.  The salon where I get my hair cut does a fundraiser each year and lots of people get their hair cut free and donate it to Locks of Love

Answer 2

Locks of Love is legit. they do only use a small percentage of the hair because most of what they recive is damaged (hence y they require 10 inches) and unusable. they don't sell it for profit though.
