How To Cut

how to cut hair to make a wig for cancer

1

Wash & Dry
Your Hair

Please send clean hair, Chemo Divas! In the event that it is not, just check mark “Please clean my hair” on the order form +$45.

It’s okay to use conditioner lightly, but don’t use any heavy styling products. You can do that when you get back your finished wig.

2

Make Pinkie
Sized Ponies

Instead of making one big pony, make many small ponies all around your head. Section the hair off to make the ponies about pinky-thick. The sections don’t have to be all that precise. You’ll see, it’s easy to do and it works out well.

Some of our Divas do this at home, and some go to a salon.

3

Use Small
Rubber Bands

Get those little rubber bands. You can get them at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Amazon, etc. They usually come in black.

Don’t use the rubber bands that are transparent. They are plastic, and they tend to break easily.

4

Off With
Your Ponies!

Take a pair of scissors and chop off those ponies, Chemo Divas! Cut close to the scalp, leaving the rubber bands in. The closer you cut to the scalp the longer the hair you get back. (If you try to leave some hair on your head, you might be disappointed later that the halo wig is not as long as you expected.)
