Jasmine Slater used to have the longest hair in her class, her blonde hair half way down her back which people used to compliment her on. That all changed on December 20, 2005.

Jasmine donated 10 inches of her hair to be used as a wig for children afflicted with hair loss. “I’m glad I cut my hair," said Jasmine, "It will help children with medical conditions. It will make them and I feel a lot better than we did.”

Jasmine has always said she would like to get her hair cut so she could donate it to a child that didn’t have any hair because of treatments and medical conditions that they had. Jasmine is a very compassionate person having learned it from having a brother with a chronic medical condition and her mother being a 5 year survivor of cancer.

Jasmine had her hair cut at Great Clips located at 6077 Coffee Road where owner Phil Burks stated that “in 2004 they donated over 179 yards of hair and in 2005 over 200 yards of hair, which equals to over 100 pounds of hair donated by children and adults just like Jasmine."

Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children 18 years and younger in the United States and Canada suffering from any type of medical hair loss. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia. The prostheses we provide help to restore self-esteem and confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.
