Your donated hair should be clean and dry. The hair should be tied in either a ponytail or braid—you should not be packing loose hair strands. Gently wrap the donated hair in a layer of tissue paper and then place it in a sealable plastic bag. The tissue paper and plastic bag will keep the hair clean and protected. Keeping the hair tied in a ponytail or braid will prevent the hair from becoming tangled or disorganized. You will likely have multiple ponytails or braids to donate, and they can all be wrapped in the same piece of tissue paper and placed in the same bag, space allowing.
