Hard donation

We ask for a minimum of 30 cm for hard donation. If you can do more, we will be very grateful to receive it.

The longer the hard donation, the less waste. When you donate your hair, we want to make sure that as much as possible can be used. A certain length needs to be used to tie the hairs in the wig, and in a bundle there are many hairs that are not equally long. We have learned that there is too much a waste if the hair is not sufficiently long. And we think that is a shame.

The hair must not have been chemically treated, ie. lighted or permanent. If the hair has been chemically treated, it is often too inelastic and porous to be used in wig production because the individual scales in the hair are not intact.

Colored hair can be used if it has been colored with ammonia -free color and with a beize of 1%. Ask if necessary. Your hairdresser if in doubt.

If your color, clearing or permanently has grown out, the hair can easily be used.

If you have delivered your hair in one of our three salons, you will receive a diploma.

If you send your hair to us, you must print a diploma yourself. You will find the diploma here.

At Toftild Harvonation, we often get the question of whether you can donate your hair when you have received chemotherapy.

There is nothing in the way of; You may well donate your hair even if you have received chemotherapy.

And the hair that has grown out after your chemotherapy is "new hair", which can easily be used for a good and meaningful purpose.

If you have received chemotherapy and still retained your hair during treatment, your hair can also be used as donor hair for the benefit of another in the same situation as you. During a chemotherapy, the hair may seem more porous and dry, but that does not mean that the hair is broken and cannot be used as donor hair for the manufacture of a wig or toupe.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer ourselves to cut our hair at Toftild, as we get far more inquiries than we can accommodate. We are not a hairdressing salon in the traditional sense, we spend all our time on customers who need wigs and alternative hair solutions as they do not have so many other places to go.

We recommend that you examine the list of our Toftild Hard Donation Ambassadors. They are approved salons of the Love Is in the Hair® project. You can also go to your own hairdresser to cut your hard donation.

We recommend that you examine our Toftild Hard Donation Ambassadors. Here you will find a long list of salons that are approved salons. We work closely with them when it comes to hard donation.

If you do not find an ambassador near you, you can use your own hairdresser. Tell them that you want to donate your cut hair. You are welcome to refer them to our guide ”How to cut hard donation"There are hairdressers who cut hard donations at a special price, and some who make events where they cut for free. Inquire with your own hairdresser.

The hair should be assembled with elastic bands in several small ponytails. Put the elastic a bit below where the hair is cut so that the ponytail is well secured. Make sure the elastics are tight.

The small ponytails are assembled in a bundle with an elastic around, in this way you ensure that the hard donation does not fall apart. If the hair is long, it is a good idea to put an elastic at the bottom as well. Alternatively, the hair can be assembled in a braid.

We often get that question, and we may well be asking. Unfortunately, it is not possible to produce a wig of a single ponytail. In the sorting of the hair, up to 50% goes from, as many of the hairs are too short. There are 6-7 unsorted donation hollow tails to produce a whole wig. Furthermore, we cannot follow the individual ponytail in the production itself. However, the sorted hair (if the hair is not too short - about 15 cm), can be used to make wigs with short hairstyles or toupes.

On average, 6-7 unsorted hard donations must be used to make a whole wig - depending on how thick and long the hard donations are.

Yes ALL natural Hair colors can be used - blonde, dark, red and gray - we have no preferences. The hair just must not be colored with chemistry.

If you donate curly hair, the length is measured by stretching the hair smoothly to ensure that it is long enough - a minimum of 30 cm.

You can either send your hair to us by mail or hand it in personally in our business in Aalborg, Aarhus or Copenhagen.

The hair is sent to:

Toftild "Love is in the Hair®"
Budolfi Plads 9
9000 Aalborg

We do not pick up packages in parcel shops.

If you would like a confirmation that we have received your hair, you must fill out our form on the Hard Donation page. And then it is important to attach your mail so that we can identify you. 

Everyone receives a confirmation that we have received the donation hair, BUT It can go 1-3 weeks. That's because the donation hair is unpacked twice a week and we receive 400+ hard donations a month ❤

NOTE!  If you send with Post Nord, the hair may be long along the way. 

No, hair can't get too old. All hair can be used as hard donation. Also hair that has been lying for many years.
The hair is often more dry when it is old, but this is taken into account in the sorting of the quality of the hair structure.

No, unfortunately, it is not possible to follow its own hard donation "from ponytail to wig" as the donation hair is sorted into colors, lengths and hair structures, mixing so it is ready for further processing. There are 6-7 unsorted ponytails to make a single wig, so the hair is mixed upon manufacture.

Your hard donation is used to make wigs and alternative hair solutions for people affected by a disease -related and involuntary hair loss. If we do not even get used to all the hair, we auction away the excess hair. The amount from here goes uncut to the cancer case in Denmark, including Knæk Cancer, Children's Cancer Foundation and Danish Hospital Clowns.

The wigs are for both children and adults affected by cancer or autoimmune diseases, most often alopecia.

We cannot guarantee that it is, for example, a child affected by cancer that receives just your hard donation, as we do not have the opportunity to follow the individual hard donation. But we can guarantee that the hair is used to produce wigs for people suffering from permanent or temporary hair loss associated with a disease.

No, unfortunately, it is not possible to meet the person receiving a wig where your hard donation is used. This is mainly due to the fact that in a single wig, hair has been used from 6-7 hard donors.
Those who receive the wigs made of donation hair do not always want to stand out in the public, and we would like to respect that and not make as a condition. However, we are constantly trying to show pictures and tell the stories of those who are recipients.

Yes, of course. If you want a confirmation that we have received your hair, fill in the form and enclose email address along with the hard donation. Then we always acknowledge with a personal greeting by mail.

Our response time on hard donations sent by mail can be 1-3 weeks. We pick up on the hard donations about every 14 days and answer everyone who has attached email address. Remember the mail can be up to 5 days along the way.

If you send your hair to Toftild, the hair must be sent directly to Toftild in Aalborg with distribution - we pick up NOT in parcel shops.
