The hair has to be a minimum of 8″ (20.5 c.m.) long for adult wigs and 10″ ( 25 c.m.) for childrens’ wigs and it must be untreated (not coloured, bleached or permed) .
If you are donating for an ADULT wig it can be coloured with vegetable dyes, rinses and semi-permanent dyes.
Wavy/curly hair texture can be donated-you may straighten your hair to mesure.
Hair cannot have more than 5% grey.
The hair must have no products (gel, hairspray, etc.) in it and must be completely dry. It must be in a ponytail (preferably with elastic at top and in the middle) or a braid. Loose hair or hair swept up can not be used.
If you want to cut it with us on June 22nd from 1-3 p.m.the haircuts and styling will be free at Regal Hair Design (2208 St-Joseph in Orleans, Ontario) but you should contact us so we can plan/schedule the event. The hairdressers will put your hair in ponytails if you want to come to event with hair loose.
If you want to cut your hair to donate but can’t be with us it should be kept in the ponytail/braid and put in a ziploc bag to send off to your local wig manufacturer.
