How to Cut and Donate Your Hair Ponytail

​

1. Make sure hair is a minimum of 12 inches for proper hair donation length. Our most requested length from children is 15 inches, so we encourage you wait and grow a longer ponytail to have the most impact on a child in need.

   • Pull curly hair straight for a more accurate measurement.

   • Start the measuring tape at the start of the ponytail.

   • Stop measuring where the ponytail starts to thin due to layers or split ends.

   • ​

2. Hair must be clean and dry. Wet hair will mold in shipping and will be thrown away.

 

Hair cannot be permed, color-treated, or highlighted.

Temporary coloring or highlights that wash out are acceptable but must be completely washed out before cutting.

Gray hair is accepted.
