This is the second time Lily Nicks, 8, a third grader at Orion Oaks Elementary School has given her hair to ‘Locks of Love.?
‘I gave about 10 inches of hair two years ago and let it grow so I could give another my hair again,? said Nicks. ‘I came up with the idea on my own. I just like helping people with cancer.?
The ‘Locks of Love? program is designed to provide ponytails to restore a sense of self-confidence to children who are suffering from hair loss due to illness.
‘Tangles? salon in Lake Orion was the salon Nick’s said knew what to do with the hair once it was cut.
Nicks said she doesn’t mind having short hair. ‘It doesn’t bother me at all, it will grow back,? she said.
