We received a beautiful gift in the mail from a gentleman named Steve whose mother Emily, born in 1911, had her hair cut at 9 years old and the family saved her curls over the years. This is the oldest hair donation we have received and while it cannot be used to make a wig (hair becomes brittle and breaks over time), we love sharing these heartfelt stories. Hair plays an important role in our identity and is a treasured part of our adornment.
