Hello,


My aunt has lung cancer and will start chemo at the end of the month.  I have very long hair and would like to find an organization that accepts hair donations for chemo survivors' wigs.  Does anyone know of one for adults?  Otherwise, I'll be donating to Locks of Love for kids.  Thanks!

Jenny B

Jenny,

Wanting to donate your hair to adults is wonderful!  I donate to locks of love.  My stylist asked me if I wanted to donate their organization.  I'd say ask your stylist, she may know of someone.

PANTENE!  That's where I got my human hair wig.  The American Cancer Society knows about the program.  It's wigs for adults.  I still have mine.  Otherwise, contact Pantene.

hair
			
I was wondering if you ever did find a place to send your hair for your aunt. A friend's mom is going through Chemo, and I wanted to donate my hair so they can make a wig for her.
