Ann Curry’s Haircut

Again, someone needs to investigate the facts which exist apart from Locks' self-serving statements. The way I see this organization, Locks decreases the number of long-haired women and does it by not stating the whole truth about its operations.

What exactly did you obtain from the Better Business Bureau? There is a 3
year old statement on their site that Locks of Love complied with all their
requirements but didn't provide one financial statement they requested.
Since the Better Business Bureau is a private organization and not a
public one, Locks of Love isn't required to give them all of their financial
reports. The Better Business Bureau isn't a government organization, even
though people believe it is. Perhaps someone should investigate the
Better Business Bureau.

People have read the information on the Better Business Bureau site and
concluded that Locks of Love doesn't use all their ponytails. That may or
may not be true.

That said, Locks of Love isn't a scam. They don't use the hair they obtain
to make wigs for kids with cancer and never said they did. They make
wigs for children with alopecia, a difficult condition that my cousin has. If
they didn't actually make these wigs, they would be a scam. But they
make these wigs.

They don't buy wigs. They make them. They do sell some hair to pay for
their expenses. All charities have expenses. How should they pay these
expenses? Locks of Love probably doesn't get a lot of cash donations,
because people donate hair instead. If they have more hair than they can
use, converting it to cash makes sense. All of these things are in their
literature and on their website.

There has never been any report that the money goes to line someone's
pockets. That would be a scam. There is no profit.

Locks of Love does decrease the number of long-haired women. So what?
Isn't that the choice of the women? You seem to want to force women to
keep their hair long. Anything that may encourage women to cut their
hair is a scam, in your opinion. Thus you say "Locks of Love needs to be
put out of business!" Well, sorry. You can't control women. They'll cut
their hair if they want.

Locks of Love is a quality charity. They may not do the most important
work in the world and they don't correct people's misconceptions, but
that doesn't mean they aren't doing good work. I know they are.

What they do is hoodwink women into parting with their crowning glory so they can SELL the hair to obtain money in return. THEN they use the money to buy a  MINIMAL number of wigs for the children. They keep the difference as profit. Some reporter ought to invesigate them and expose them. That would be a great story for Ann to do. "Locks of Love" needs to be put out of business!

I don't want to kill another thread, but while there are some facts in this
statement, it is inaccurate. Some people think if they keep saying
inaccurate things about Locks of Love, they'll get people to believe them.

Of all the newscasters, Ann has the best hair, up or down. I like women with long hair and am a fan of updos as well. It would be a shame if Ann ever got a haircut of any kind. She should let it grow to her waist before she even thinks about a trim.

Voteing for #1 I thinking we are going to see #3. Just because of rateing.

Want the 3rd one but it will probably the 2nd one.

I'm hoping for the first pic long enough but also short enough for good donation and shouldn't drive her to nuts to keep it

They had Ann's Intimate Portrait on lLifetime last nite. Toward the end she talked a little about daughters suggestion of growing hair long, Ann couldn't say no. She said now her hair is driving her nuts. Katie's comment was good thing to do together with daugther but do it soon cause getting really long like Pochantis.  So it could be a dramatic cut. Hopefully not for I like it really on her fantastic!

Ann really can't afford a major a major change in her look as the network is setting her up to be a major news anchor someday. For the same reason I predict that there will be no haircut sideshow either. Due to the general preponderance of long to medium hairstyles on female anchors I also predict Ann's haircut will be a disapointment for the short hair lovers.

If that's typical of what she's trying to get people used to, then she must have decided to go for some ultra short style.

Nice I hope not.
