How to Donate Hair Extensions to Little Lady Locks
Your donation of hair extensions can help transform a child’s confidence. At Little Lady Locks, we create free wigs, ha and hair systems for children suffering from medical hair loss. While most donations are natural hair, we also accept specific types of hair extensions that meet our quality standards.
What We Accept
We kindly accept:
- New or used human hair extensions
- Minimum length: 14 inches (measured from top to ends)
- Any colour, length, texture
- Tangle-free
- Secured in a ponytail or original bundle
What We Cannot Accept
To maintain high quality for our children’s wigs, we sadly cannot accept:
- Used Synthetic hair or fibre
- Hair that is heavily damage/dry.
- Matted or tangled bundles
- Short lengths under 14 inches
- Hair with lice or strong chemical on.
What Happens to My Hair?
1. Isolated for 30 days Every hair donation is safely stored for a minimum of 30 days to ensure it is clear of any lice or germs.
2. Cleaned and coloured After isolation, the hair is gently cleaned and, if needed, professionally coloured to match a child’s natural look.
3. Lovingly reused Donated extensions are then transformed into:
- Custom wigs and hair systems
- Magical hair accessories Or resold in our Recycled Hair Extension Shop to raise funds for our children’s charity💫 Every strand plays a part in helping a child feel confident again.
Do’s & ❌ Don’ts
✅ DO:
- Send clean, dry human hair only
- Secure the hair with a bubble, ideally in a plait
- Include your name and contact if you’d like a thank you
- Tag us on socials so we can share the magic!
❌ DON’T:
- Do not cut the tops off — we need the cuticle direction to be intact

- Do not send loose hair — hair must be tied or plaited, otherwise it mats and can’t be used
- Do not forget your contact details if you’d like an acknowledgment
