August 22 - September 7, 2008

The 3rd annual Hair Fair will soon be under way! The Hair Fair will be sponsored by Rezzable, who have donated the islands for this charity event. There are over 90 participants, jumping into the mix are shops like Adam n Eve, BishHair, Curl Up and Dye Salon, DamselFly Designs just to name a few!

Hair Fair donates proceeds to Locks of Love, a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. LoL meets a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.

This year, all designers at the fair will donate 50% of one style to the charity. Rezzable will also have donation kiosks placed around the fair, where you can donate directly.

This is a great cause that touches the lives of so many. Imagine waking up one day with no hair! Goodness, most of us can’t even fathom such a thing. Yet some children around the world live with this every day.
