Cutting my hair & want to donate it to a cancer society for a wig, know how to go about this?

I have naturally curly hair that is about 10inches long (straightened) and am cutting it short. I know people grow their hair long to then have a wig made and donate that to cancer societies for chemo patients but I've no idea how to go about this or who to speak to. The other problem is I live in Belfast, Northern Ireland and my options are limited, but any suggestions/contact details for anywhere would be great, it'll get the ball rolling.

We accept 10" minimum hair length (tip to tip). We cannot accept wigs, falls, or synthetic hair.

Please bundle hair in ponytail or braid.

Hair needs to be clean, dry, placed in a plastic bag, then padded envelope.

We need hair from men and women, young and old, all colors and races.

Hair may be colored or permed, but not bleached or chemically damaged (if unsure, ask your stylist).

Hair swept off the floor is not usable.

Hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail or braid.

Hair that is short, gray, or unsuitable for children will be separated from the ponytails and sold at fair market value to offset the cost of manufacturing.

You may pull curly hair straight to measure the minimum 10".

The majority of all hair donated comes from children who wish to help other children.

Layered hair may be divided into multiple ponytails for donation.

Please note: Anyone can cut your hair as long as the above guidelines are followed.

I think the charity for that is called "Locks of Love" or "Locks for Love" or something like that. Google it and call them up.

The American CAncer Society has offices all over the world. You should be able to locate a number in your area to call. Maybe your barber would be able to help you with that.

It is called locks of love and they need it to be about 12 inches long before they will take it as a donation, they need it to be at least this long so that they can knot it and secure it in.........

Hope this helps

They make the wigs and then donate them to children with cancer or any other disease that would cause hair loss. The women who runs it has a daughter with alopecia areata, so she started this organization to help other children with similar problems. I plan on donating my hair to there when it gets long enough.

There's a foundation called Locks of Love here in America, I don't know if you have one in Ireland. Your hair has to be unprocessed and 10 inches. Any of your local salons or Barber shops should be able to guide you in this.

Cheers to you!

I recently read in a magazine how to go about donating your hair...basically you put it into a ponytail, it has to measure 10 inches long, then you put it in a plastic bag, and you mail it to the Locks of Love company.

"Locks of Love" your hairdresser will know. My brother did it last year, they need 10 inches so it's perfect. Also some hairdressers may do it for free if you are donating it, my brothers did:)
