GUIDELINES FOR DONATING YOUR HAIR

Whether you’re a skilled professional cutting hair for donations or an individual cutting a ponytail at home, please follow these simple steps to help make the process of donating your hair easy.

• Hair donations should measure at least 20cm (~8inches) in length.
• Ensure that hair donations are clean and stored/packaged when completely dry.
• Moist or wet hair may develop Mold during shipping and, unfortunately, will be discarded.
• Create at least four sections (preferably six) by tying the hair around the head to make a more generous donation.
• Before cutting, use elastic bands to tie multiple ponytails (where possible) along the length of the ponytail. Plaiting is also acceptable.
• Ensure that the hair is securely tied and fastened with multiple elastic bands spaced approximately 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) apart.
• Cut the hair above the rubber band and ensure it is securely sealed.
