What Happens When You Donate Your Hair?
I never knew the donating hair was so involved. It really is a great thing when someone donates their own hair to help those less fortunate. This is what goes on behind the scenes.

For some of us, we have considered donating our hair at one point or another. It’s a great way to give back to society, and it makes a true difference in someone’s life. While we always the ability to grow our hair back, someone out there might not have the fortune of doing so themselves.

One organization that is very popular to donate to is Wigs for Kids. They have a belief that “When children lose their hair, they don’t just suffer physically. The change in their appearance can drastically undermine their self-image and sabotage their self-esteem.” A wig can have a huge impact on a child’s life. It will help them feel “normal” as they endure through whatever condition or process they need to overcome in order to recover.

But how does this process work? How is my hair being put to use? I, for one, have asked myself this question, and BuzzFeed has as well. In fact, they were so curious that they did an in-depth investigation and documented their findings.

In the video below, BuzzFeed shows us exactly what happens when you donate the hair. Starting from one woman getting a haircut to a little girl with a finished wig, you will see the amazing steps involved in impacting and changing a child’s life. It’s eye-opening, but in the positive sense. There were a lot of things I did not expect, but I am glad it’s making a difference in a child’s life.
