organization, Locks of Love, is a
United States-based charity
association that accepts donations of
human hair for wigs. The
organization accepts donations of
human hair and money, with the
stated intention of making wigs for
needy children who have lost their
hair due to a medical condition in
Canada and the USA.

3.  Despite the genuine intentions, Locks of Love face numerous
controversies on how the charity organization seems to turn into a profit
organization by selling donated hair as unusable material, rather than
using it for human hair wigs like the donor is told.
 Locks of Love representatives are frequent guests on The Oprah Winfrey
Show and other daytime television shows. They provide haircuts to
guests and audience members. Though the representatives and show
hosts normally suggest that the hair collected during the show will be
made into a human hair wig and that the wigs are given free of charge to
children with cancer, neither of these outcomes is guaranteed. They still
need to establish whether the organization was formed to help people
with hair loss regardless the nature, or specifically to cancer patients
suffering from hair loss due to chemotherapy.
 Other organizations that specialize in assisting children with medical
conditions that cause hair loss include Little Princesses, Sofia’s Hair 4
