30 Before And After Pics Of People Who Cut Off Their Long Hair And Donated It To Cancer Patients

There are many conditions that may cause a person to lose their hair, with alopecia areata and cancer treatments being just a few examples. No matter the condition, losing one's hair can be devastating, especially for kids - that's why wigs often become the only option. And, as weird as it may sound, there's no better material for a realistic-looking wig than real human hair. Instead of simply cutting their hair off and throwing it away, some people are choosing to donate it to charities that make wigs for cancer patients. One person gets a makeover while the other one gets a nice wig - it's a win-win situation when you think about it. Check out the people who grew out their hair and donated it to cancer patients in the gallery below!

#4 8-Year-Old Was Bullied For 2 Years While Growing His Hair Long To Make Wigs For Kids With Cancer

Image source: Deeanna Thomas 2 years ago my son saw a St. Jude commercial that changed his life forever. He chose to do his own research and find a way to help. After 2 years of growing his hair, Christian has reached his goal of donating over 10 inches in 4 ponytails. He has chosen to donate to the "Children with hair loss" foundation. He has endured an awful lot of criticism, and yes even bullying, throughout this time. From his peers calling him a girl to even coaches and family friends telling him he should cut it or offering him money to. Even still, he has never once, strayed from his goal and always took the time to educate others on why he made the choice to grow his hair. I am one proud mommy as always.
