How do I cut my hair to donate to charity?
Donate Hair
- Wash hair and dry thoroughly. Do not use conditioner or styling products.
- Secure ponytails at both ends with a hair band, and one halfway down (or at regular intervals for longer hair). Ask your hairdresser to cut above the top band.
- Place cut hair inside a recyclable cardboard or heavyweight paper envelope.
What companies accept hair for donation?
Three major national organizations currently take hair donations — Locks of Love, Wigs for Kids, and Pantene Beautiful Lengths. Each charity has different requirements you need to observe when growing and preparing your hair donation.
Is Locks of Love still accepting hair donations?
Hair We Share and Children with Hair Loss both accept colored or grey but not highlighted hair over 8 inches. Locks of Love and Pink Heart Funds both take hair colored or grey but not over-processed or bleached hair over 10 inches. Wigs for Kids will take grey, but not dyed, hair that is at least 12 inches long.
Can you donate hair that you cut at home?
From everything I read and know, you can have anyone cut your hair. Some prefer hair in one ponytail or braid, while others prefer your hair in several sections so the hair is cut off more evenly. Keep in mind the hair has to be completely dry before you send it in a zipper lock bag.
Can I donate 7 inches of hair?
We request 10” minimum hair length although we will accept as short as 7 inches to make a boy’s wig or a short wig for a girl (from top of ponytail to end). Hair needs to be clean, and thoroughly dry. Hair may be cut or buzzed depending on your preferred style.
Can you sell your hair?
Selling your hair could be the answer. The best wigs and hair extensions are made from human hair, which means healthy hair is always in high demand. And it happens to be pretty easy to sell online. If you’re always getting compliments on your long locks, you might want to consider selling your hair.
