In need of a post-lockdown make over?
Looking for a new look or to mix things up, or just been thinking about taking the chop? If you feel like this could be you than you may like to consider the option of donating your hair.

Did you know that in Australia every year over 4000 ponytails are needed to meet the demand of making wigs for individuals experiencing medically-induced hair loss? These donations are collected by a variety of charities and are then either turned into charitable wigs by independent wigmakers or sold to wigmakers, which funds a range of important programs. Many of these organisations therefore rely on generous donations from the public to run and fund them. Without donors this demand can simply not be met.
