So... I did a thing. Let me tell you more about it...
I've been a supporter for Cancer Awareness for the longest time and I've lost a parent to the disease almost 12 years ago and the other one is in remission, Thank God. So this cause is very close to my heart. Since not a lot of people know that you can donate your hair for wigs I wanted to share this info with all of you.
In 2023, I decided to grow my hair in order to donate it a cancer foundation that makes wigs for cancer patients. Luckily, my hair grew like grass and in 2 years time I managed to grow a bit over the minimum length to donate just today.
It was a different kind of emotion, cutting your hair hoping it would make a difference to someone's life one day. From personal experience, I know it could make someone feel complete and at ease. So please, if you have long hair and would like to donate, this is what you have to do:
1. The Minimum length for hair donation is 30 cm
2. Make sure your hair is washed, dried and slightly straightened
3. Make a tight low ponytail to your desired length to cut, measure it then when you're ready braid it and then tie the end- then cut above the top ponytail. Put it in a zip lock bag with a label on it.
4. You can hand it to the security gate at the SCFA where the FOCP office is located in Sharjah, or send it by courier, whatever is convenient for you. And mention your details on the package (name, contact email, contact number). You can find all the details on website.
