In my town there is a club for supporting people who suffer from cancer. Usually they handle these things. Maybe you could google about similar clubs at the region you are. I am glad for you. There is hope for human kind.I am currently walking the route of Camino Francés and although my hair is very low maintenance and very long. I originally had plans to cut it and donate it to locks of love upon returning home. However, I’ve been thinking of adding to the idea of going home “lighter” in this manner as well and would like to cut my hair upon arriving in Santiago. I don’t dye my hair, blow dry it or use any harsh chemicals that damage my hair and would love to donate it as originally planned . I’ve done some research but can’t seem to find any concrete information of where to go or what to do once arriving in Santigo in order to ensure my hair is donated to charity for use by those in need. Any ideas or recommendations??
What a kind thing to do. The message in church today was to be missionaries in all we do. You are a great example of this in action!I am currently walking the route of Camino Francés and although my hair is very low maintenance and very long.

Great idea!Just a thought, but when you make an appointment with the salon in Santiago, you might ask them to call the local newspaper, La Voz de Galicia, to offer them this story as both a human interest and Camino positive situation.
The locals love human interest stories. Having a peregeina from outside Spain donate their hair would send a powerful message.
If you need or want help doing all of this, ask Ann or Faith at Pilgrim House (Rua Nova #19) to help. Show them this thread. They know me very well. They might like to share positive publicity, if you are so inclined...
Alternatively, at the Pilgrim Office, ask to speak to a female staff member to ask for help. If you tell them that “el Sherif” recommended this, they will at least hear you out. They know me well and may be able to suggest alternative salons, and to facilitate connecting the media... again, if you are also interested in leveraging your effort and donation to do good on a larger scale.
The local TV and newspapers are at the Pilgrim Office regularly. The office managers have a good rapport with the local media...if you are interested in persuading others to follow your example... just sayin...
Hope this helps.

Just a heads up, please do not ever donate to locks of love. (I have donated once to them when I had my first real hair cut). They actually charge their patients for the wigs. I was so disappointed to learn that.
@Kr4ftyKreationa has not visited the Forum since 27 August 2019. I doubt you'll get a response to your question.Excuse me, may I ask you to share the continuation of the story? Which option did you choose for yourself? I have long beautiful hair that has never seen any chemicals on it.
