LITTLE PRINCESS TRUST DONATION GUIDELINES
If you're thinking of taking the Chop To Your Chin challenge to help the Little Princess Trust just follow the guidelines below to ensure they can get the best out of your donated hair.
Suitable hair:
- A minimum length of 7"/17cm is needed, but naturally the more hair there is the better
- Clean, dry hair which is in good condition from any gender and of any natural colour
- Straight, wavy, curly, permed or chemically straightened

Unsuitable hair:
- Hair that is less than 7"/17cm in length

Guidelines for donating your hair:
