There are many wonderful causes to donate to, there is no dispute about that. It is rare, though, that one has the opportunity to donate a piece of oneself (without invasive surgery) to help another person overcome a troubling time. Relay for Life can provide this special option.
As many of us know, there are people from all walks of life who are affected by cancer. We also know how impactful this cause can be in the search for a cure. FSU Relay for Life offers the opportunity not only to donate money to this cause but also to donate your hair. Whatever hair that is donated will be created into a wig that can help restore confidence to those who are afflicted.

Although this sounds like a funny dance move, it’s actually a super cute hairstyle for women who have curly, kinky hair. But be careful when choosing the lob: depending on how long your hair is when you donate, you might not have enough hair after to create the long bob look and might end up with an afro instead! Be sure to contact your hairstylist in advance to get a consultation so you’re informed about how much hair you’ll have to work with after you donate. This look also has some cute face-framing highlights going on, which is such a nice touch to lighten up dark locks!
