We donated my son's ponytail to Zichron Menachem. They have an address in New York or Israel that can receive it.

I spoke to Chai Lifeline a week or two ago about donating hair and they told me 14 inches minimum.
There are other places that will accept less. If your friend is interested I can find them for her Wink

Zichron Menachem takes donations even a little shorter. I guess they use for baby hair etc. We sent my son's hair about 2 years ago.
