Donate your hair to make wigs for women who have lost their hair due to treatment

We often have people ask us how to donate their hair for wigs for cancer patients. Here are two great programs that allow you to donate your locks to be made into wigs for women who experience hair loss during cancer treatments.

Pantene Beautiful Lengths

A real-hair wig allows a woman to look in the mirror and at least see a familiar face while she fights to regain a sense of normalcy in her life.The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is pleased to distribute the Pantene Beautiful Lengths real-hair wigs. While this new program aims to assist as many cancer patients as possible, ultimately the number of free wigs that become available will depend entirely on the number of ponytail donations received.

Creating a real-hair wig takes approximately three to four months, and each wig requires at least six ponytails to make.As Pantene Beautiful Lengths wigs are created, they are distributed for free through the Canadian Cancer Society’s national network of community offices. Women facing cancer can find out about the availability of a Pantene Beautiful Lengths wig by calling the Canadian Cancer Society at 1 888-939-3333. The Society’s toll free line can also provide callers with access to many resources, including information about cancer and emotional support for those dealing with the disease. Pantene is also donating $100,000 to CCS this year.
