Hillcrest High gives a hair
On Feb. 15, 2012, eight Hillcrest High School students donated their hair to Locks of Love during the school’s Spirit Bowl. Each participant gave up between six and twelve inches of hair in front of the entire school.
“There are little girls out there who need my hair more than I do,” says Junior Hailey Heumann.
According to Student Body President Erin Hawkins, the school has done this for about ten years. In years past, even some men have participated. Senior Kim Krok has been growing her hair out since she was a sophomore. She says that it is a family tradition to give to Locks of Love.
Sophomore Angela Garcia says that her family has also donated to Locks of Love. Taylor D’Shaw Salon provided three hair stylists for the event. Stylist Stacey Steck says that the salon provides free haircuts for donors to Locks of Love.
Senior Julia Turner is a veteran donor. She gave her hair to Locks of Love when she was in sixth grade.
“I’ve done it before, and frankly, it’s [the hair] been driving me crazy,” says Turner.
Locks of Love is a charity that provides hair pieces to financially disadvantaged children who suffer from medical hair loss.
