Hair Donation Guidelines
Thank you for supporting the Angel Hair For Kids program. The program relies on hair and monetary donations to make custom hair replacements that look just like a child’s natural hair. It takes between 10 and 12 donated ponytails and $2,000 to make one hair prosthesis, so it’s very important to follow the guidelines for hair donations.
Acceptable Hair Donations
-
A minimum length of 12 inches is required.
-
Curly hair may be pulled straight to measure the minimum 12 inches.
-
Hair that is slightly coloured or grey is acceptable. Perms or bleached hair is not.
-
Hair cut years ago is useable if it has been stored in a braided ponytail.
-
Hair that is shaved off, or swept off the floor, and is not in a braided ponytail is not usable.
-
Dreadlocks, wigs, falls, hair extensions or synthetic hair is not acceptable.
Hair Donation Preparation
-
Hair must be washed and thoroughly dry before it is cut.
-
Hair must be placed in a braid or ponytail.
-
Secure braid or ponytail with a strong rubber band or hair tie at both ends.
-
Cut the hair above the rubber band, NOT below.
-
Make sure the donor has the length they want left on their head without compromising the 12 inches needed.
-
Place the cut and dried braid or ponytail in a resealable plastic bag.
-
Hair donations may be delivered or mailed to Angel Hair For Kids, along with a completed Hair Donation form.
