A Helping Hand
Many children suffer from hair loss every single year, and foundations such as Locks of Love help them. Jeff has this issue close to his hair. He loved his hair and he loved children, so he could empathize. He was glad to be a part of it.
He had grown very attached to his long mane, but also knew that others could benefit from it. Because of this, he had no issues with getting a trim. If he could help others, then that made it all worth it.
An Increasing Occurrence
More and more hair donation charities appear every year. This talk show is to thank for an increase in the practice. It was here that the practice was first done publicly on TV. It encouraged many other people and places to start doing the same.
One big example is Susan Cataldo on an episode from back in 2016. Because her husband loved long hair, she hadn’t had it cut for years.
