Locks of Love is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity that provides custom-made hair prosthetics to disadvantaged children up to the age of 21 who have suffered hair loss as a result of medical conditions, such as alopecia, burn trauma, and cancer treatment.[3] They are provided to the children free of charge,[5] and they may receive a new one every two years until they turn 21 years old.[6] Locks of Love says that, despite rumors to the contrary, children and their families are never charged for the hair prosthetics they receive.[5] Locks of Love accepts donations of human hair, and it also accepts financial donations.[6]
