What is the minimum length of hair you can donate to be made into wigs for cancer patients?
I’ve been growing my hair out for a few years now because I’d like to donate it so it can be made into wigs for cancer patients, or other people who have lost their hair. My hair is long, curly, and extremely thick, and it seems to grow ridiculously fast. I don’t want to shave it all off, though — is it acceptable to just get it cut off to your shoulders and donate the rest, or does it have to be shaven for some reason? I was thinking I’d let it grow out to my waist or the small of my back before I had it cut. (It’s already midway down my back) Would that be okay?

Locks of loves it’s 10 inches.
Not sure if it’s the same for all organizations, but I just looked up “Locks of Love” (which makes hairpieces for children who suffer from medical conditions), and their minimum donation is 10 inches.
Here’s a link to that site if you want to learn more:

Good for you, too! That’s a wonderful thing to do.
Beautiful Lengths is 8 inches i donated my hair last year to them.
While Locks of Love is 10 inches. Most of the time you can go to a person who cuts hair. They know the proper way to go about donating it. My hair was put in a pony tail holder at 8 inches and then they cut it. So no you don’t have to shave it.
