12 pony tails to make one hair piece, they need a lot of donors, i thought if i can grow hair, if the good lord is giving me hair, i'm giving it away. kids going through cancer and hard for me to talk about because i think of the trauma for the children and then families and then go to school and if they're going through chemo, losing their hair and have to answer a lot of questions. how does locks of love help the kids be normal again? >> exactly, one thing it builds confidence. these are children could be, it's not just the cancer victim. it's burns victims and children who suffer from alopecia, a permanent hair loss condition, it's genetic. there's no known cause and no known cure, children who may suffer a lifetime with hair loss. >> mike: we've got a synthetic wig and it's obvious it's not real. you touch it.
