How to keep a lock of hair?

my mom did it with my first hair cut. she got a pretty ribbon and tied it and then put it in an envelope. im sorry ive never heard of the wax dipping...hope i helped :)

We've done a lot of flowers including the ones from my wedding by having a company set them in glass. This preserves and seals the flowers from air and a lot of light as well. The company is a local small business and takes great pride in their work. If you don't like their options they may be able to tell you exactly what to do for your locket setting or put you directly in contact with someone who can.

Sorry for not being about to offer you a better solution and condolences for your mother.

Tie a pretty coloured ribbon around it. A lock of my hair is in a little box somewhere with a ribbon around it, and not one hair has gotten loose.

Sorry to hear about your mom :(

i'm questioning if that's a man or woman you know? lol. i study someplace that a woman could scouse borrow her boyfriend's toothbrushes. he observed them going lacking and sooner or later found them in her room. the two are creepy. i do no longer know how she will someway get a number of his hair... whilst he became asleep? =X

keep it in a glass box

In a baggy,

hair is protein, and will not deteriorate,
