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.

Cut hair doesn't have DNA. You need torn out or shed hair with the intact skin root. The skin is where all the tasty dioxyriboneucleic acid resides.
