Your hair donation can help create wigs for children experiencing hair loss, giving them confidence and comfort during challenging times.
Your hair donation helps children with medical hair loss regain their confidence and feel like themselves again.
A single wig requires donations from 6-10 people. Your contribution is crucial in creating these life-changing wigs.
By donating your hair, you're not just providing a wig, but also emotional support to children going through difficult times.
Become part of a caring community dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of children facing hair loss.
Follow these simple steps to donate your hair and make a difference in a child's life.
Ensure your hair is at least 12 inches long to provide full coverage for a child’s wig. Longer hair allows for more styling options and a better fit. If your hair isn’t quite long enough, consider growing it out a little more before donating—every inch makes a difference!
Wash and dry your hair thoroughly, avoiding any styling products. Clean, natural hair ensures the highest quality wigs. Let your hair air dry or use a blow dryer, but make sure it's fully dry before moving to the next step.
Gather your hair into a secure ponytail or braid to keep strands aligned. Use a strong elastic band at the base, and if your hair is long, add another band in the middle to prevent tangling. Keeping hair neat ensures it can be used effectively.
Have a professional stylist cut just above the elastic band to keep the ponytail intact. Using sharp scissors helps maintain the quality of the hair, ensuring it can be used to create a natural-looking wig for a child in need.
Place the dry ponytail or braid in a sealed plastic bag to protect it during shipping. Ensure no moisture is present, as damp hair can become damaged. If you’d like, include your contact info to receive a thank-you note for your generosity!
Send your hair to our donation center, where it will be carefully crafted into a wig for a child in need. Our mailing address is available upon request. Consider adding a note to inspire the child who will receive your heartfelt gift!
