Male, female students donate hair to Locks of Love, help cancer ...
Dave Hoffman's long tresses are a new look for him. His hair has been relatively short his entire life, and the decision to grow it out went beyond style appeal.
Hoffman, sophomore in mass communications, decided to grow out his hair to donate it to the Locks of Love organization after a family friend was diagnosed with cancer.
He said he has not cut his hair since November 2005.
"It's given me a new perspective and a way to look different," Hoffman said.
According to the Locks of Love Web site, www.locksoflove.org, the organization "provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis."
The organization asks for at least 10 inches of hair.
