HAIR DONATIONS

Picture
General How-To Requirements to Donate HairBefore you chop your hair and send it off, do make sure that you check the donation requirements of your preferred charity. In general, the following guidelines are common for all organizations that accept hair:
  • Hair has to be put into a ponytail or braid and cut above the ponytail holder. 
  • Donation length requirements vary from eight inches to 12 inches. 
  • Curly hair can be straightened prior to measuring in order to meet donation requirements. 
  • Layers are typically okay, as long as the shortest layer is at least the minimum required length. 
  • Hair must be clean and dry. 
  • Hair cannot be chemically altered. 
  • Hair must be natural - synthetics are typically not accepted. 
  • Hair that is from the floor is unusable. 
  • Your cut off ponytail or braid should be packaged in a zippered plastic baggie and then put in a padded envelope 
  • While it's generally not required, it's always appreciated if you send a small donation along with your hair to help defray costs for the organization. 
Do make sure that you read and follow all instructions carefully. If you don't, the organization will not be able to use your hair and it will have gone to waste.
