Hair Loss Success Stories
The Belgravia Centre are proud supporters of The Little Princess Trust, who provide real hair wigs to children in the UK who have lost their hair through cancer treatment or hair loss conditions. The charity rely on hair donations to make the wigs, which are supplied free of charge to the children who need them.
Jessie J famously donated her hair to the charity when she shaved her head, but anyone can donate hair and the good news is there’s no need to fully shave your head.
The charity accepts donations of hair that is:
If your hair is layered, that’s fine, as long as the shortest layer is still longer than the minimum seven inches.
If you are under 16 you must obtain permission from your parent or guardian before going ahead with the hair cut.
Some hair is not suitable for making children’s wigs, and the trust cannot accept donations of hair that is:
Donating your hair is straightforward, but there are a few guidelines to make sure the hair is suitable for creating wigs.
Once your hair arrives at the Little Princess Trust it is sent to China, to a wig making factory who make the wigs for the charity free of charge.
If your hair is suitable, it will be blended with at least five other hair donations in order to make a wig. Whilst many people ask, the Trust are currently unable to arrange pictures of the child receiving the wig made with your donated hair.
If you can’t donate hair you can still help by making a donation to the charity.
Donations are needed in order to source enough wigs for all the children who need them, and to purchase specialist wigs for children with afro hair.
Each purchased wig costs £350, so all fundraising is gratefully received. If you need any inspiration, you can find many examples of people who have kindly donated their hair, and others who have raised funds for the charity on our blog.
