What is the Ponytail Tracking Program?

This program allows you to see the finished wig we created from your hair and receive a certificate and an “I Made the Cut” T-shirt. It helps cover the costs of wig production.

How much is the financial contribution for the tracking program?

A $150 donation is required to join the Ponytail Tracking Program. You can contribute via:

✔ PayPal or Venmo (@hairweshare)

✔ Check (mailed with your hair donation)

✔ Fundraising campaigns like Instagram & Facebook Fundraisers

5% Cover the Fee

Your generosity can restore confidence and dignity to someone facing medical hair loss. Whether you donate hair or contribute financially, every gift helps us create and provide human hair wigs at no cost to those in need. Join us in making a lasting difference today!

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

  • Use a padded envelope (not a paper envelope) to prevent damage
