Criteria

Please read carefully as we have some changes in the criteria. If you don't fit the criteria please do not send the hair, it will not be used.  We will not be able to respond to any questions for a while. Please don't rush to send your hair. We want to avoid an influx of hair arriving all at once.  Thank you for your understanding.

→ They must have a minimum length of 8-10 inches (20 cm). (curly hair must stay curled when calculating and sending) - the ends have to be healthy, so please cut any dead ends first. We will accept 8-10 inches of healthy hair, otherwise the hair will be too short.

Choose a strong envelope and make sure mail delivery is not
with signature (No registered mail). Indeed, we would not be able
to get your package if no one is there to sign.

It should be noted that we are all volunteers. The reason we are not able to send thank-you letters to donors is the lack of budget. We use the money to make the wigs. Thanks for your understanding.

We will not be able to offer certificates anymore.  We will be overwhelmed.  If you are a hairdresser, you can drop hair at a Beauty Star Bédard store.

If you know child in Quebec with cancer, let us know so we can send him a natural wig for free.

All the donated hair is used here in Quebec, and intended for Quebecers.
