When people talk about hair donation, it is often associated almost exclusively with women. In reality, men can donate hair just as easily, and in many cases, their hair is especially suitable for medical wigs made for children and teenagers.
More and more men choose to grow their hair not for fashion, but for a very concrete purpose: helping someone in need. It is a quiet gesture, without spectacle, yet one with a profound emotional impact.
Why is hair donated by men so valuable?
In the process of creating a medical wig, hair quality matters far more than the donor’s gender. Hair donated by men often has several important advantages:
-
it is less chemically treated (no dyeing or bleaching);
-
it has a more uniform structure;
-
it is, in many cases, more resistant.
These characteristics make it ideal for durable, comfortable, and natural-looking wigs, especially for children who need long-term solutions.
Who can donate hair?
Hair donation is possible if a few simple conditions are met:
-
the hair length is at least 25–30 cm (depending on the organization);
-
the hair is clean, dry, and properly tied before cutting;
-
it is not excessively damaged.
Age is not a barrier. We have had teenage donors as well as adult men who chose to turn a simple haircut into an act of solidarity.
A discreet gesture with deep meaning
For many men, donating hair is not something they feel the need to publicly display. It is not about recognition or applause, but about empathy and responsibility.
Behind every donated lock of hair, there is a child who:
-
is going through a difficult medical treatment;
-
loses their hair without having a choice;
-
needs not only medical support, but emotional reassurance as well.
A wig does not cure illness, but it can help restore confidence, especially at a very young age.
Hair Matching: the right hair, for the right child
Through the Hair Matching project, hair donation is never an abstract gesture. Every donation is handled with care, responsibility, and respect, ensuring that the hair reaches the child who truly needs it.
Whether you are a man or a woman, whether you have been growing your hair for months or for years, your donation can become part of a story much bigger than yourself.
If you have ever thought about donating…
Maybe now is the right time.
There is no need for a spectacular reason.
It is enough to know that your gesture matters.
