Donate Hair

Anyone can donate as long as the guidelines listed below are followed. We encourage all of our donors to go to a salon they are already familiar with to ensure their comfort when donating.

Guidelines For Acceptable Donations -Hair that is colored or permed is acceptable. -Hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail or braid. -Hair that has been bleached (usually this refers to highlighted hair) is not usable. If unsure, ask your stylist. We are not able to accept bleached hair due to a chemical reaction that occurs during the manufacturing process. **If the hair was bleached years ago and has completely grown out it is fine to donate. -Hair that is swept off of the floor is not usable because it is not bundled in a ponytail or braid. -Hair that is shaved off and not in a ponytail or braid is not usable. If shaving your head, first divide hair into multiple ponytails to cut off. -We cannot accept dreadlocks. Our manufacturer is not able to use them in our children’s hairpieces. We also cannot accept wigs, falls, hair extensions or synthetic hair. -Layered hair is acceptable if the longest layer is 10 inches. -Layered hair may be divided into multiple ponytails. -Curly hair may be pulled straight to measure the minimum 10 inches. 10 inches measured tip to tip is the minimum length needed for a hairpiece.
