Lynne Thompson at Innervisions on Friday (before and after the cut). Lynne asked me to come with her and photograph the process with Monica doing all the work. Look for Lynne in the days ahead. Here is more about the process of helping out.
Hair donations to make wigs for people with cancer. Must be 6 to 12 inches long depending on which company* accepts your hair – find out more at the link below.
Preparing your hair
For all hair donations:
- Hair must be clean, dry and not swept off the floor.
- Hair must be a minimum length, based on the requirements of the hair donation program.
- In most cases, hair should not be chemically treated (bleach, colour or perm).
- Hair should be bundled in a ponytail at both ends.
Sending your hair
- Send hair by regular mail to the hair donation program* of your choice.
- Include your name and address as you may receive an acknowledgement.
It won’t be possible to find out who received a wig made with your hair, and if donated hair can’t be used, it will not be returned to you.
