You heard me right.. every inch matters! 5, 6, or 7 inches won't work. But luckily enough, when you have 8 inches -- it's life changing!
I just completed my third hair donation. And I feel like this is the perfect way for me to educate people about these organizations and the hair donations.
Here's some throwbacks to my first two donations!
I donated the first time to Locks of Love the summer between 8th grade and freshmen year.
For some reason I don't have any before photos-- but it was a 10 inch donation.
The first time I thought it was a no brainer to go to locks of love. But then I heard some chatter and I had to go do some research before my second donation. What I've found out is that the Locks of Love minimum donation is 10 inches and they do use dyed hair. But I wasn't impressed with everything I found regarding Locks of Love. So before my next donation I did some research.
Here's some before and after photos of my second donation.
As for Pantene Beautiful Lengths, it is connected to the American Cancer Society. Wigs are free, and recipients can make an appointment to choose a wig and keep it the same day, sometimes without leaving their hospital room or treatment room. Their minimum is 8 inches and they do not accept died or bleached hair.
Another great option is Wigs for Kids! The minimum donation for Wigs for Kids is 12 inches, they do accept gray hair, but don't accept bleached, dyed, or highlighted hair. If a temporary dye is completely washed out that will be accepted. (Side note- Wigs 4 Kids (4, not for) is a smaller organization providing hair pieces only for kids in Michigan.)
Below are before and after pictures from my third donation- just cut this week! I donated over 14 inches to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. Someone needs it more than I do!
I encourage you to think about donating! Whether hair or money. Pantene has an 8 inch or $8 challenge. $8 is doable for sure! And if the parameters of an organization work for your hair, guy or girl, think about it and let it grow! You'll be happy you did!
leave the eh behind
