free wigs.
Wigs made of natural hair are refunded by the National Health Fund (NFZ) up to 250 zł, however, their cost is very high. That is why for the past 11 years it has been our goal to help women undergoing chemotherapy look their best – as part of the Daj Włos! (Give Hair!) program they receive free wigs. Everyone can cut their hair for a good cause and hand them over to Rak’n’Roll. After this they will make their way to a wig company called Rokoko, which will make comfortable wigs as long as… well – please remember:
Each count of negligence turns this precious gift into worthless material that needs to be utilized.
Let your gift be wise and beautiful.
Give (good) Hair.
1. Lightened hair cannot make a wig.
If your hair has been lightened (bleached) – its structure does not allow them to make a wig. You can help patients by donating money, so that they can buy synthetic wigs or support our Foundation in any other project (raknroll.pl).
2. Cut hair must have at least 25 cm or more in length (measure before you braid the hair). It cannot be less and it does not matter that you really want to do this or there is a special occasion. The hair length is not a subject to negotiation. If they do not have the tight length, they cannot be used.
3. They need to be washed without the use of a conditioner. If you use a conditioner or a hair mask, they become too slippery to weave a wig. Cut you hair in their natural condition.
4. Packing for shipment – they have to be dry. If they remain moist in the package they will become moldy.
5.They need to be braided.
The person making the wig needs to be 100% certainty where the base and the end of the hair is located. Only braided hair gives this certainty. They need to be tied firmly at both ends with a rubber band.
We need your details, so that we can confirm your free of charge and voluntary gift of hair and so that we can contact you when the hair arrives at the Foundation. Our thank you will follow to the e-mail address that you submit.
