Going the Extra Mile to Help Children Look Themselves and Live Their Lives

October 3, 2017

Welcome to our Best of 2017: Wigs For Kids series! Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be looking back at some of your favorite posts and sharing some of the transformations we’re watched this year!

We have so many people ask us about donating their hair to make a child’s transformation possible through Wigs For Kids. In this video, Jeffrey Paul and two special guest talk about the ins and outs of hair donation.


Jeffrey Paul, founder and CEO of Wigs for Kids, and his two special guests, Lauren and Emily, issue a challenge to you! They are challenging you to grow out your hair for children who have lost their hair due to Alopecia, cancer, or other illnesses and medical conditions.

Having helped so many children overcome the devastation of hair loss, Wigs for Kids would like to help give children who desire longer hair exactly what they want. While the required length is 12 inches, Jeffrey, Lauren, and Emily explain why maybe waiting a little longer to donate might just help make even more children’s dreams come true!

If you or a loved one is experiencing hair thinning or hair loss, learn more about solutions available to you on the Jeffrey Paul Blog.
