Reading all these posts has really conflicted me. My 3 year old just said good bye to her 11" of hair today and we initially were going to donate to LOL. Then I heard about Pantene. So I researched it and found this thread. Backstory. I have alopecia and have been wearing a wig for about 15 years. I lost my hair at 13 and had no idea about LOL back then. My parents couldn't afford a wig for me so I had to face the riducule, teasing, self-esteem killing teen years with patches of hair somewhat disguised. Still. To his day I cannot afford a nice human hair wig. I know cancer can be deadly, heck, there is a high chance I'll have breast cancer because my thick immediate family history so don't think I am comparing the two. But frankly, nobody feels bad for the poor bald used to be amazingly beautiful redhead who will never have hair again.
