Talkback: Locks of Love: blessing or scam?

Doesn't it make sense that a mega-corporation like Pantene would be more able to defray the high costs of producing human hair wigs than an organization like Locks For Love? The reality is that no commercial wig manufacturer is going to voluntarily produce thousands of wigs without some sort of payment. The payment Locks For Love provides comes from the sale of surplus/unusable hair donations. That's made clear on their website. Their site also states that donated hair must meet certain guidelines in order to be used for the wigs. It is true, however, that no mention is made of the actual dollar amounts families must pay in order to receive a wig. Pantene's corporate motive comes straight from a P.R. department, so don't kid yourself.
