As a ballerina, I needed long hair for my end of year concert and I usually cut my hair before school starts. My Mom suggested, "why don't I donate my hair?" I liked the idea and researched it. I found out about AAAF and I believed that my hair could help and support those children who suffers from Alopecia Areata. I am hoping to donate every year or second year until I decide to colour my hair. I would like to be involved in fundraising for those could not afford to buy wigs and also bring awareness of donating their hair to my school and dance friends

Donating your hair to be made into a wig for someone who cannot grow hair of their own is a generous gift and rewarding experience. It’s very important to us that not a single gift is wasted, so please be sure to follow these simple steps to ensure your hair meets our requirements.

All hair donated to AAAF is sent wig makers who specialize in making hair pieces for medical purposes. We receive funds from the wig makers and these go to support our Wigs For Kids program, which provides financial grants to help families with the costs of wigs. So your hair donation helps kids with Alopecia Areata twice!

Be sure to check out the Hair Donation guidelines on our website before you start!
