How to Prepare Your Hair for Donation
Hair must be clean and completely dry before cutting
Secure hair into multiple small ponytails (not one large ponytail) to maximize usable hair
Do not braid hair (unless it was already cut in a braid, in which case leave it as is)
Curly/wavy hair: Keep natural texture—do not straighten
Cut 1” above the hair bands (this inch is included in the donation length)
Secure small ponytails together at the top with a rubber band or ribbon
Place in a sealed plastic bag with your name and contact information
How to Send Your Hair
Submit the Ponytail Donation Form before mailing
Place hair in a sealed ziplock bag for sanitary reasons
