Donating one's hair to make wigs for children with cancer

Q: I am a female in need of advice about the cutting of hair in terms of disposal. I cut my hair on Friday and someone mentioned this foundation to me where you can donate your hair and they make wigs for children with cancer to use. Now my mum says she's not sure if it's a good idea because Islamically you must bury your hair and I agree with that. However, I really just want to make a difference for a cancer-suffering child and of course I won't do it if it's wrong. My question is: Is it wrong to donate your hair for cancer patients?

Using black dye

Q: I am a 21 year old girl and my original hair colour is black, last year I did colour it blond and now its looking bad like two hair colours. I am also married. I heard that its not allowed to colour hair black in Islam. Is that true? If yes then why? I just want my natural hair black and I can't trim it either.

Covering the head

Q: What is the various hanafi views on men covering or not covering the head in Salaah, eating and going to the bathroom. Another question is at what times should a mans head be covered according to the Hanafi school?
