No offence to cancer patients but this seems effective.

Not everyone will lose their hair from chemo. Also, you need a certain amount of hair to make a wig.

^ like they said, I'm pretty sure it usually it takes several heads of hair for one wig, correct me if I'm wrong

You are correct, according to pantene it takes 8-15 ponytails to make a wig. pantene.com/en-us/brandexperience/prepare-your-hair

My Grandma shaved her head. Not enough for a wig though.

From the few people I know who have had cancer/have cancer, only one lost his hair and he did shave it off as soon as it started falling out. That being said he didn't care that he would be bald and just wore a lot of hats

kinda unrelated but is it true you cannot donate your hair if you've died it?

Dyed hair is accepted, not bleached hair. If you want to donate go to Locks Of Love for requirements.

I read somewhere that Locks of Love charges people for the wigs. Anybody know if that's true?

They actually make wigs for kids whose parents can't afford them.

Locks of love does charge for wigs. It's not as great of a "charity" as people think. The Pantene hair charity is much better.

It's true. I suggest finding a salon that works with Wigs For Kids, and also Friends Are By Your Side, where both provide free wigs and styling services. Your donations through those charities are a tremendous help :) Most of the time, people you see with wigs tend to be children that were struck with cancer. It helps them feel a little more normal in a situation that is anything but.

like a great many charities locks of love charges based on income, so families that cannot afford it get it for free and ones that have more money simply get a reduced price. heres some more info to dispel a lot of the bad things people want to say about locks of love. http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/locksoflove.asp

Also it is a little hard to worry about how you look when you are contemplating your own mortality and planning out the best way to keep your body from failing. There are bigger issues than vanity.
