Locks of Love = Lots of Love

From Pembroke Pines, Florida to right here in Plano, Texas - kids are jumping on the Locks of Love bandwagon. Schools, PTAs and Student Councils are starting to plan Locks of Love days for their school and community for their 2009-2010 school year.

Some organizations will be using the Locks of Love program to “reward” kids for a job well done by reaching their goal for fundraising or TAKS testing. What a great idea to achieve your goal and have the feeling of also giving back!

Whether you are in high school, middle school or elementary school, or even in college - look around in your community and see where the Locks of Love action is.

What a way to beat those “Back to School” blues! Check out teachers cutting and donating their lovely locks, as well as school administrators, students and entire classes (we had one a group from Beverly Elementary in Plano!).

Many schools are organizing a "Give Back Day" or "Service Matters Day" where you get to give back to the community and what better way than to donate your hair to someone who needs it the most - a young person who has lost their hair due to medical treatment, or for another similar reason.

Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides hair to financially disadvantaged children under the age of 18, who have lost their hair to a medical condition.

READY TO DONATE? Here's some tips:

• Your hair must be a minimum length of 10 inches for a donation after it is cut.
• Curly hair can be pulled straight to make the 10 inch requirement.
• Your hair can be colored or permed; however bleached hair cannot be accepted as the bleach causes the hair to dissolve as it goes through the manufacturing process.

Anyone can donate hair - moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends! And - at Frinj - we offer 50% off your cut and style if you donate your hair to Locks Of Love - and you'll be featured on our website too!

Learn more about how you can give back. Look in your community for Locks of Love events and in the meantime, keep growing that hair!

If you don't remember - we did a Locks of Love cut live on Good Morning Texas! Click here for the video and more info!

SUMMER HAIR CARE TIPS

BE GOOD TO YOUR HAIR THIS SUMMER. We're here to help with some HOT hair care tips to protect your locks from the potentially damaging elements of summer. Here's the top five SUMMER HAIR CARE TIPS to keep your strands safe and silky! #1: EASY ON THE HEAT! It's hot out there! Take a break from your normal use of hot hair tools (blow dryers, hot irons, electric curlers) every day - opt instead for natural air drying from time to time during these hot Texas summers. You can also braid long hair when wet - that will unravel into natural waves when dry! #2: USE GOOD PRODUCT! There are tons of great products out there. Be sure to read the labels and ask us for advice! We carry a few sun care products in our retail boutique. If your hair colored, and you spend lots of time in the sun - you need extra-special care such as Redken's Color-Extend Sun - which offers special after-sun care to color treated hair. #3: LOVE (AND CONDITION) DEEPLY: Take conditioning to the next level - and apply a deep conditioner (like Difiaba Hydressence Masque), wrap in plastic wrap or a shower cap - and hit the hay. Allowing the deep conditioner to soak into damaged hair overnight will provide extra repair and re-moisturizing benefits! #4:TAKE COVER WHEN POSSIBLE: When you can, take cover! With a hat, that is! It's perfectly stylish whether at the beach or at the pool to cover your delicate 'do with a cute straw western hat, or other form of cover. Consider it a fashion statement! Certainly, if you are against hat-wearing, then the next best thing which is sunscreen. You can use a regular SPF product on your head and hair: be sure to work the product onto your scalp. #5: DON'T SKIMP ON TRIMMING!Take your trims seriously during the hot summer months, and don't skip on these very important haircuts! You need to have the ends trimmed every 6-8 weeks - ESPECIALLY during the summer months. You can avoid damaged or split ends by coming into Frinj regularly for your shape-up trim!
