Hair today, gone tomorrow!
West Orange Patch editor Karen Yi cut 10 inches off her long hair over the weekend for Locks of Love, a nonprofit organization that creates hairpieces for children with long-term medical hair loss from donations.
Yi, whose hair nearly reached her lower back, traded her flowing locks for a chic asymmetrical shoulder-length bob. Josephine Castrovinci, who co-owner of Salon Jofi in West Orange, did the honors.
Watch the video above for more information.

That is a wonderful donation. My daughter just sent her hair in as well. As a medical director for a hospice, I can't begin to express how important this gesture is. Thank you again. Linda R. Liotti D.O.

I hate to rain on your parade, but an article in the New York Times several years ago revealed that 80% of the hair donated to this organization is not used. I think your intent was lovely, and it is possible that things have improved since the article was published, but people might want to get more facts before they make a donation to Locks of Love. The Times article can be found here: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/06/fashion/06locks.html?pagewanted=all
Hope I'm wrong about this....
