I’ve Got Gray Hair, Why Can’t I Donate?

We have recieved several posts from those with gray hair asking why we don’t accept gray hair donations.  Believe us, if we could use them, we would take them! Gray hair, as well as some chemically-treated or permanently-colored hair, does not absorb dye at the same rate as other types of hair. It is much harder to color and, once colored, fades more quickly. So when it takes about 6 ponytails to create one wig, we can’t have parts of the wig fade.  Also, gray hair tends to be brittle and cannot withstand the rigorous wig-making process.
