My niece wants to know: if she donates her hair to Locks of Love, and the recipient of her hair commits a crime and leaves hair at the crime scene, will her DNA be found all over the crime scene and thus incriminate her? She's 12.

The hair its self is dead and contains no DNA. Only the follicle, which isn't part of the donated hair, has DNA. You would be safe.
