Donating Hair: Locks of Love vs. Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths

For so long I have been frustrated with the inability to grow my hair out. About 6 months ago I came across Pantene Pro-V's new product, Beautiful Lengths lengthening shampoo and conditioner. I figured it probably would not work but I have liked their products in the past so I bought it anyway. About 4 months after using the shampoo and conditioner my hair began to grow like a weed! Now, 6 months later my hair is 2 feet and some odd inches long.

I would love to donate my hair soon, but I am having trouble deciding between the Locks of Love and Pantene's Beautiful Length's program. I was wondering if anyone can give me some insight or advice on which to choose and why.

If you read the thread, they're talking about Pantene's program, Beautiful Lengths.

I recently read an article about LOL only giving wigs to children with alopecia, not hairloss from cancer. All these years I have been deceived. This time I am donating to PL and feel so much better knowing it will be going to a cancer patient.

I was looking into LOL and BL and decided to go with BL and felt it was a good choice. LOL charges for their wigs and I found an article by Forbes which steered me away from LOL...
