How To Cut A Ponytail For Wigs For Kids

In order for Wigs for Kids to create wigs made from real hair it is important that ponytails are cut a certain way. It is a shame to have generous people donate ponytails that can’t be used due to how they were cut or processed. Watch this video to ensure your hair donation to Wigs for Kids will be accepted.

All right Jeffrey, so this is Nadia Nadia, agree to donate her hair for weekly kids yeah. Thank you so much super excited. She has beautiful, beautiful, hair, credible, hair channel virgin. Absolutely what you said to me before is very important. The hair has to be virgin, not chemically treated correct, so they can be actually be used in a hair piece, because if it has been treated by any means, then it swells up and it can't be hand sewn strand by strand. Ah big big difference. Alright. So take me through the sectioning: that's the first part and sections most important. Why don't we make a section right down the center to the crown from the front hairline to the crown? Okay, I will kind of let it go into his natural part, mm-hmm and I'll see where it splits. Oh, that's a really nice place. That'S pretty much where here spreads yeah. Okay, then, the next part of it we'll take it from the crown down to the top of the year, so that here is not pulled in the back and give it a pony tail and lost a lot of good quality. Here you were going to measure the actual distance exactly so going to a guy measuring I'm going to put there right there, where your fingers at come down to that twelve inch mark and trying to give it all the ability to get strong ends. So we don't want frail ends or friends, so that's the twelve inch mark right where your hand is all right and then lose a section. Is I mean we're going to secure it? Yes, right with your time, a little ziplock ties put this in here all right. So we'll take our measuring tool again. Tape measure come down to 12 inches a little give those fly o ends and you're right there. Now we can put that good tight. So now tying this tight as you can a real important point, because that's where the hair can start to come loose in the beginning process, the harvest, okay and then cut this off and take that off good all right. So that's our first section mm-hmm! Now what we want to do is we want to take and put bands on this every two inches securing it from getting all tassels. So we should do this before we move to the next set correct, all right great, and you recommend that I use the elastic bands right. These Louise are the very best they hold they're secure and when we get the hair at weeks for kids, it's ready to be processed and go to the factory excellent and as a matter, how many times I go around as long as it's done as long as It'S done and not loose because if it moves and of course, you're going to have inversion of cuticle, that's where hair no longer is Remy, which means the hairs going in one direction, and you have a tangle. It'S that far. That'S perfect, all right god! I would have expected to be that perfect. Well, just you know just check and make sure so the next one a couple of inches farther down exactly as we should say, the hair has got to be clean and dry. If the hair has any moisture in it whatsoever, then it has to be laid out to dry because it'll actually get a mold in it when it's being traveled from you know the salon two weeks for kids organization, so keeping the hair dry as very important. It'S got to be, it's got to be dry, not in any not even damp, not even damp, they can use product on it too. You know to prepare the cut shampoo conditioner and they can go through that whole process, but they don't want any moisture in the hair when they're ready to pack it okay and one more down here, one more okay. So this is the part that you know you were telling me that 40 % of the hair doesn't get utilized. This is a part where a lot of times right - it's not if it's not properly here and about a lot of people even will clip their hair off. I mean they really give from the heart and from the head, but they'll clip it and the hair will fall to the floor and then they take another and they go to the bag. That'S a waste, that's right there, so this is good beautiful! That'S beautiful! All! Right so next section right down the center of the back of the head, all right separating the head and back two parts so left and way down to the nape mm-hmm and again we're going to do it through the same process. Now, as the goal now is just to make sure that we're measuring the the 12 inches right, correct, you're, this 12 inches okay, so somewhere about here, mm-hmm all right, I'm so nervous! I want to get this right. You know well tell you what you're gon na do you're gon na change our whole complexion wings for kids, because this will change the ability of the hair, the volumes, the hair that we have and we'll have because of the Aquash family coming in with it done Right and it will all be able to you great so, let's measure it again just to make sure right there, so I'm on it mm-hmm all right so now make it tight, tight and cut that off cut that on into the viewing audience specially. If you're not strong against somebody strong, it's really got to be tight at that bound because that's very, very important part of it and now start putting my carbons every couple of inches of bandages and, as you can see, it's not that very difficult. But it's doing it right. That makes the world of difference whether hair can be used and harvested correctly. The other thing with the sectioning the years showing is the fact that if you pull that hair all back and cut the ponytail off in the back and she's going to have a shorter side, we've lost also those two three inches that are so valuable for us. When we're trying to provide a little girl with that kind of length of hair yeah, I didn't know that it was going to be quite so complex and you're right. This is easy to do, but also easy to not do correct correctly, say now. So, while technically, this is something that anyone any hairdresser cannot to learn to do properly. It'S a you're just trying to get the message out. It'S right to make sure you know a lot of people come running in, and Nadia comes in and says this is their third time of giving here and she just runs in the salon, cut my hair and they want to do a good good deed. So to say so they cut her hair without this. Now that is knowledge, and then it's wasted. That'S wasted at that point. Something like this well there's had three four inches left. Would you do another erect correct good point very good point. The cuticle on here, as you will know, is like velcro and you don't want it to be traveling miles and hundreds and thousands of miles to go through the process of turning inside out and becoming a problem. So I'm assuming now we just take the same pattern on the opposite edge yeah. So I'm just going to split from the crown right to the top of the year right to the top of the year. Okay, so we have the four ponytails and again, what Jeffrey asked me to do was to part it down the center and then part it from ear to ear, correct and the pointing is not it's not how perfect the part against it when you're trying to do Is get the maximum amount of hair out of any one person's doing right there and then a 12 inches measure? We place these little ties which, by the way are the you know the kind that little zip, zip locked eyes that you just kind of pulled through and as you pull them, they they lock and and then the rest is the all created with the rubber bands. Right, that's exactly right! Alright, great! Let'S cut the ponytail! Well because here is not equal in thickness and shears are not equal in sharpness. We want to slide our shear between the ponytail above the tie and cut it in half and then cut the other half evenly. So we have a nice even cut. The most important part of shipping is that when you're done with the ponytails, they may be wrapped in tissue paper, now combine the ponytails and wrap them in tissue paper. Once you've rolled a tissue paper in the ponytail together turn. Both ends in fold it in half and now place it into the ziplock bag. You

enoki roll: I stumbled upon this by accident since I was contemplating donating my hair but wasn't really sure. I was surprised when I saw this thumbnail. Nadia, the model here is heartbreakingly no longer with us. Thank you for sharing this video, it really warms my heart to see her again. I remember she told me she donated her hair, I'm sure it meant a lot to her to be a part of this. She was a lovely friend.

Ella Sion: I'll be donating my hair this week, so I'm so happy I found this video, is really helpful ❤️ Thank you so much

Mathetes Rachel T: This is from their website and answers most of the questions below: For over 30 years, Wigs for Kids has been providing Hair Replacement Systems and support for children who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, Alopecia, Trichotillomania, burns and other medical issues at no cost to children or their families. Guidelines for Measuring and Cutting Your Hair Donation Make sure hair is a minimum of 12 inches for proper hair donation length. Our most requested length from children is 15 inches, so we encourage you wait and grow a longer ponytail to have the most impact on a child in need. Pull curly hair straight for a more accurate measurement. Start the measuring tape at the start of the ponytail. Stop measuring where the ponytail starts to thin due to layers or split ends. Hair must be clean and dry. Wet hair will mold in shipping and will be thrown away. Hair cannot be permed, color-treated, or highlighted. Temporary coloring or highlights that wash out are acceptable but must be completely washed out before cutting. Gray hair is accepted. Tie hair into at least four sections (six are even better) around the head for a more generous donation. Hair that is pulled into one ponytail or braid results in a loss of up to four inches of hair. To do so: Make a center part Starting from this center part, part the hair over the top of each ear. This will create four sections of hair To create four ponytails, tie the hair in front of each ear into ponytails, and then tie the hair behind each ear into ponytails.Make sure each ponytail or braid is tightly secured. Hair that is loosely wrapped tends to become loose when shipped, making it unusable. PLEASE be sure hair is tight and secured with several rubber bands 2-3 inches apart. Cut hair above rubber band. Seal all ponytails in a Ziploc bag Place ziplock bag along with hair donation form, barcode or ID number in a sealed envelope addressed to: Wigs for Kids — Hair Donations 24231 Center Ridge Road Westlake, Ohio 44145 PACKAGES NOT CONTAINING A HAIR DONOR FORM, BARCODE OR ID NUMBER ARE UNDERSTOOD TO BE ANONYMOUS DONATIONS.
