It's been about 11 years now since I've been growing my dreadlocks and I recently decided to cut them. If you know me well, this shit has been on my mind for a while.
Anyhow, I'm only sharing all of this here because I want to donate my hair to somewhere/someone that it will benefit, if it can, in any way.
My first thoughts were to sell them on ebay or craigslist, figured I could get some decent $$$ because of who I am - Guitarist, traveled the world touring with Shaggy, Diana King, Jimmy Cliff, Monty Alexander Damian Marley.....and the list goes on. So there is some kind of "history" or "value" to my hair right? I'm not just an average Joe.
But then I thought "why should everything be about money?" I know there are companies that take hair and make wigs for cancer patients etc. But not all of them take dreadlocks as donations.
So that's it, if anyone knows who or where I can donate my lovely dreads I'd really appreciate it.
Gonna wash them, go to a salon and cut them. What I'll do is keep them in a ziploc bag until I figure out where to donate them. Below are some pics... I hope to take some when I'm getting them cut.
