Pantene Collects 1 Million Inches!!
April 7, 2009
Pantene Beautiful Lengths is thrilled to announce that it has reached its most impressive milestone since the program began nearly three years ago. This week marks the receipt of more than 1 million inches of hair donated to make free, real-hair wigs for women who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment.
That’s a lot of hair! In fact, it’s enough to:
Stretch beyond the height of 66 Empire State Buildings!
Cross the Golden Gate Bridge nearly 10 times!
And most importantly…it’s enough to help thousands of women get back something that cancer has taken from them and help them fight this devastating illness.
We would like to thank the survivors, communities, families, schools and you for supporting this wonderful cause.
I’ve Got Gray Hair, Why Can’t I Donate?
February 9, 2009
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.

On May 21, 2008 more than 60 students within New Jersey’s Franklin Lakes School District donated their hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. These generous donations were certainly not gone unrecognized as NBC’s the Today show stopped by to capture the cuts live!
