Pantene Beautiful Lengths

Did you know that is takes 6, 8 inch ponytails, yes 6 pontails to make 1 wig??

My sister just donated her hair after growing it for months! What a great life changing event to be a part of for another women!

When you make a Pantene hair donation to Beautiful Lengths, you are contributing your hair to women who have lost their hair during their battle with cancer.

The Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths campaign collects hair donations from throughout the United States and Canada. The hair collected is turned into wigs and distributed FREE to women suffering from the loss of their hair due to the effects of chemotherapy needed to fight the cancer that is ravaging their bodies.
The hair collected by Pantene is crafted into beautiful natural hair wigs. Working in collaboration with the American Cancer Society
, The Entertainment Industry Foundation and Hair U Wear, the wigs are given to women battling this terrible disease through one of the American Cancer Society’s many wig banks.
The average price of a well made human hair wig
is approximately $1,200 and most insurance companies cover only a small percentage of the cost, if anything at all.

For many of the women receiving a wig from the Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths campaign, the chances of having a well made human hair wig seemed impossible as the illness often causes finances to be exhausted.

If you are interested in finding out more about the hair requirments and/or finding out how to put together a Cutting Event, please visit http://charity.lovetoknow.com/Pantene_Hair_Donation


Together, we are making a difference!
