Oxford girl donates hair to Locks of Love

OXFORD – A local nine year old decided she was willing to part with her long golden hair in order to offer up to charity. Brionna Anzano donated about 14 inches of her hair to a non-profit organization, Locks of Love.



The group is a charity that accepts donations of human hair and money. It began with the intention of making wigs for needy children who had lost their hair due to a medical condition.

“Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers,” said a statement released by the group.
