FUNDRAISING & HAIR DONATION

Thank you for supporting us! Many supporters complete all sorts of challenges and events in aid of the Trust, but often
they choose to organise a sponsored haircut. This raises lots of money! It would also be great if the hair you cut off
could be used to form part of a wig for a child as well. This will depend on how much you have cut.

If you are planning to donate your hair, please see our guidelines below. Please be aware that it is up to the wig
manufacturer whether a hair donation is suitable and not us.

Please see the guidelines and please take these points on board too:
• We cannot provide photographs of a child receiving a wig/pictures of a wig made from your hair
• We don’t sell hair under any circumstances
• Just having your hair cut for us is fine, you don’t have to go for the whole shave!
• If you’re under 16, please get the permission of your parent/guardian before you go for the cut!

Suitable hair:

• Whilst we can accept 7”/17cm in length, there is more chance of it being used now if it measures more than
12”/30cm
• Clean, dry hair in good condition (no split ends) from any gender, and of any natural colour
• Straight, wavy, curly, permed or chemically straightened
• Containing the occasional grey (less than 10%)
• Dyed, bleached/highlighted (any dyes must be of a natural colour)
• Ponytail(s), cut a long time ago, preserved in good condition

Unsuitable hair for our wigs:

• Hair that is less than 7”/17cm in length
• Dyed an unnatural colour (blue, green, purple, dyed red)
• Hair dyed with henna
• Largely/mostly grey hair
• Afro (the wig-maker is not a specialist manufacturer of Afro wigs. The Trust buys in these wigs separately)
• Dreadlocks
• Hair extensions
• Hair pieces

Guidelines:
• Wash and dry your hair
• Do not add conditioner or styling products
• Put your dry hair into a ponytail(s)
• Secure at both ends with a hair band, and one half way down for good measure!
• Ask your hairdresser to cut above the band/s nearest your head
• Now have the rest of your hair styled as you wish
• Put your dry ponytails(s) into a clear resealable plastic bag
• Place them in a padded envelope and post using a standard service to:

Little Princess Trust

Broadway House
32 – 35 Broad Street
Hereford
HR4 9AR
• Please have your parcel weighed to make sure you use the right postage
• Include your email address, clearly written, using the Hair Donation Slip, so we can email you a Thank You
certificate!
• PS: Yes – we do accept hair from outside the UK!

Thank you!
