What is hair donation?
Hair donor is a charity act of hair donation that has been cut off from your head to non -profit organizations that provide prosthetics to patients with cancer or individuals who have a medical hair loss. Organizations that receive hair gifts use hair to create prostheses and wigs for people suffering from hair loss, alopecia areata, or even as a result of an accident. The largest and most famous organization for hair donation are love locks that primarily help children suffering from permanent or long -term hair loss. In most cases, hair prostheses can be received by these recipients and stylized in any way. Organizations that receive hair gifts usually have specific requirements regarding hair length and condition. Some organizations accept chemically treated hair while others don't. Most organizations require hair to be at least 10 to 12 inches (25-31 cm) in length and almost all organizations require hair to betied to a ponytail or braid before they are reduced.
Specific requirements for acceptable hair gifts are caused by the production process involved in the creation of a hairpiece. For example, love locks have a complex manufacturing process that includes injection of each strand of hair into silicon closure, which is made for every recipient and can be planted to the head for safe wear. Due to the length requirements, hair gift is ideal for people with long hair who have decided to shorten. However, there are people who give your hair over and again for the explicit purpose of providing hair donation every time they cut it off.
If you want to provide hair donation via a salon, choose a salon that sponsor your preferred organization and informs the stylist you want to donate hair. Most of them can handle details of the packaging and transport of hair for you and many of them offer free or badVail rainfall for readers who donate hair. If you do not have a sponsoring salon in your area, call or visit the website of an organization where you want to send your hair for instructions on how to cut, secure and send your hair.
