The House of Postiche | Hair Donation Guidelines
Hello!
At The House of Postiche, we honor the generosity of those who donate their hair to create exquisite, handcrafted wigs that restore confidence and dignity to individuals in need. To ensure the highest quality in our wig-making process, we adhere to specific donation guidelines.
Hair Donation Requirements
✂️ Minimum Length: We require at least 12 inches, though 14+ inches is preferred for the best results.
✂️ Hair Condition: Hair must be clean, dry, and free from chemical treatments such as perms, highlights, and color. Some color-treated or gray hair may be accepted if it's in excellent condition.
✂️ Preparation: Hair should be sectioned into multiple ponytails or braids before cutting to maximize usable length.
How to Properly Collect & Package Hair
✅ Before Cutting: Wash your hair thoroughly and let it dry completely—no styling products or treatments.
✅ Sectioning: Divide your hair into at least four ponytails or braids before cutting to retain the most length.
✅ Securing: Use strong rubber bands or hair ties at both ends of each ponytail or braid.
✅ Packaging: Place the cut hair in a sealed plastic bag before putting it into an envelope or box for shipping.
✂️ Packaging: Place the cut ponytails or braids in a sealed plastic bag before placing them in an envelope or box for shipping or storage.
