Hair Requirements:

Hair must be clean, completely dry, and must not have touched the ground.

The minimum length is 12 inches (30 cm). For curly hair, measure the length while curled.

Please trim any damaged or split ends before measuring. We accept 12 inches of healthy hair only.

-
Do not cut long ponytails into smaller sections. Please leave them as long as possible.
-
Hair must be secured with elastics and placed inside a Ziploc®-style bag.
-
We accept colored, gray, layered, and chemically treated hair, as long as it is healthy and the ends are in good condition.
We Cannot Accept:
-
Hair that is loose, dirty, wet, or not tied.
-
Hair dyed with bright or "funky" colors (e.g., blue, pink, green, purple, orange, etc.).

Use a strong envelope (bubble mailer or similar), and do not use registered mail or any delivery requiring a signature. If no one is available to sign, your package will be returned.
Important Notes:
-
We are a volunteer-run organization. To keep our focus on making wigs, we are unfortunately unable to send thank-you letters or donation certificates at this time. Thank you for your understanding and support.
-
Hairdressers: Donations can also be dropped off at Beauty Star Bédard stores.
-
If you know a child in Quebec with cancer, please contact us – we would be honored to provide them with a natural wig at no cost.
All donated hair is used exclusively in Quebec for local recipients in need. Your generosity truly makes a difference. Thank you!
