Wigs for kids is an organization that donates wigs to children who lose their hair. Whether they lose their hair as a result of medical treatments, health conditions or burn accidents, these children don't just suffer physically. The wigs that are made and donated help their self-esteem.
The value of each individually designed hair system is $1,500. Each prosthesis is hand-tied and is made completely from human hair. The hair is blended to match their natural color perfectly and then cut into a desired style.
The rules are a little more limiting than Locks of Love but it is a great place to donate if one has super long hair and doesn't chemically alter it. I know that children love to give to other children so it can be a perfect place for a child to donate hair.
* Make sure hair is a minimum of 12 inches
* Hair must be clean and dry
* Hair cannot be permed, color-treated, or highlighted
* Make sure each ponytail or braid is tightly secured. Hair that is loosely wrapped tends to become loose when shipped, making it unusable
* Cut hair above rubber band
* Place the hair in a plastic bag or wrap it in tissue paper.
* Mail the hair in a sealed envelope (special containers or insurance are not necessary) to: Wigs for Kids, 24231 Center Ridge Road, Westlake, Ohio 44145.
