Long hair can be a hassle to take care of, and styling it takes a lot of work as well, which is why short hair may be the way to go if you're looking to save time. Another good thing about cutting your hair is that you can donate to organizations such as Locks of Love and Wigs for Kids, which will help people who have lost their hair due to health conditions
If you’d like to donate your hair, cancer.net recommends that you have at least 8 to 14 inches to cut off, but each organization has specific requirements. If your hair is dyed, bleached, gray, or you have highlights, dreadlocks, or a perm, you need to make sure that the organization you’d like to donate to accepts your type of hair.
Some hair salons might even give you a discounted rate on your haircut if you are donating, and there are also instructions that must be followed before you donate your hair. You can follow instructions from the organization’s website, but before the cut, make sure your hair is freshly washed and completely dried with no products in it at all.
