Donating your hair can help others and is personally rewarding.
- Hair needs to be natural – no dyes, colours or treatments.
- because to make one wig it takes between 10-20 pony tails so we need to know that all the hair is in the same condition.
- The amount of hair you wish to donate will determine where you need to place the elastic bands. Your local hairdresser will be able to do this for you.
- Secured top and bottom of the pony tail
When posting your pony tails, this will ensure that the individual pony tails don’t tangle into each other.Lay the hair flat on a piece of tissue or newspaper and then wrap it.
Donations of hair are made into specialised wigs for kids who have lost their hair due to a medical condition such as alopecia or long term hair loss after some cancer treatment, or due to Trichotillomania.
