guidelines for acceptable donations:
- hair that is colored or permed is acceptable.
- hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail or braid.
- hair that has been bleached (usually this refers to highlighted hair) is not usable. if unsure, ask your stylist. we are not able to accept bleached hair due to a chemical reaction that occurs during the manufacturing process.
- hair that is swept off of the floor is not usable because it is not bundled in a ponytail or braid.
- hair that is shaved off and not in a ponytail or braid is not usable. if shaving your head, first divide hair into multiple ponytails to cut off.
- we cannot accept dreadlocks. our manufacturer is not able to use them in our children’s hairpieces. we also cannot accept wigs, falls, hair extensions or synthetic hair.
- layered hair is acceptable if the longest layer is 10 inches.
- layered hair may be divided into multiple ponytails.
- curly hair may be pulled straight to measure the minimum 10 inches.
- 10 inches measured tip to tip is the minimum length needed for a hairpiece.

I just found your blod thru mothering.commune
I am in a similar boat.. breast cancer.. 11 month old fully BF son.. they want to start chemo in a few weeks… he has never had a bottle… I am frantic
I had a lumpectomy and then a radical mastectomy and am still nursing strong one sided
am interested in mutual support.. I agree there is jsut NO info or support for Bf moms and chemo etc..
I fully plan on pumping and drinking! then relactating.. how is that going for you?
be strong… you are almost there!
