HOW DO I GET A FREE WIG FOR MY CHILD

Established in 1965, Continental Hair Ltd has been retailing the finest quality custom and ready-made wigs for over 60 years. In 1995 they established the Wigs For Kids Program which provides any child experiencing hairloss (regardless of the reason) with a free prosthesis. There is no need for a referral; no application forms or need for an assessment.

HOW TO DONATE HAIR TO HELP CHILDREN WITH HAIRLOSS

We do not accept cash donations but we are happy to receive hair donations to make into hand-knotted medical grade, child-sized wigs.  Simply follow the guidelines below :

MEASURE: Ensure that your hair is 12 inches (30 cm) or longer. The hair should be measured from tip to tip. Layered hair is acceptable if the longest layer is 12 inches.

CUT:  Visit any stylist or hairdresser to cut your hair according to these guidelines. Remember, we do not cut hair at our location. Hair should be clean and DRY.  

• We accept virgin hair only—no dyed or coloured hair. 
• Grey hair is accepted if it is 12 inches or longer, including hair cut years ago if stored in a braid or ponytail.
• Unacceptable Hair: Hair that has been swept off the floor, permed, bleached, or in dreadlocks is not usable.
• If shaving, divide hair into sections and secure in braids or ponytails before cutting.

BUNDLE:  Secure your hair in a ponytail at both ends. Hair must be clean, dry, and in a braid or ponytail before cutting.

BAG: Place your cut hair in a clear plastic bag. This keeps the hair organized and protected during transit.

Mail: Place the bagged hair into an envelope and send or drop off with the linked donation form
