    Before cutting your hair, pull into a ponytail (and/or braid).  Your hair must be clean and dry.  Cut above the holder to be able to cut off a minimum of 12 inches.  Then mail to the above address.  They take the hair and make the wigs for the kids who have lost their hair due to the cancer treatments.
