On Christmas Eve, high school student Amelia Busenhart had a very special haircut – one she will remember for a long time. This time, rather than snipped hair landing on a salon floor, Amelia’s lengthy pony tail was donated to the nonprofit organization Locks of Love, which uses human hair to craft wigs and hairpieces for children afflicted with long-term or permanent medical hair loss.
