We help people living with cancer find wigs and other types of headwear when they lose their hair as a result of cancer treatment. We’re not involved in the collection of hair or the production of wigs, but if you’re thinking about donating your hair, here’s how it works:
Preparing your hair
For all hair donations:
- Hair must be clean, dry and not swept off the floor.
- Hair must be a minimum length, based on the requirements of the hair donation program.
- In most cases, hair should not be chemically treated (bleach, colour or perm).
- Hair should be bundled in a ponytail at both ends.
Sending your hair
- Send hair by regular mail to the hair donation program of your choice.
- Include your name and address as you may receive an acknowledgement.
It won’t be possible to find out who received a wig made with your hair, and if donated hair can’t be used, it will not be returned to you.
