All ages.  Did you know that Michigan insurance plans don't cover the cost of wigs for children?  Craft Education Cosmetology & Barbering of Novi will be on site at the Library providing free *haircuts by registration only.  Haircuts will benefit Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides free wigs and support services to families with young children or teens experiencing various illnesses that result in hair loss.

Guidelines:

  • A request of 10” minimum hair length although we will accept as short as 7 inches to make a boy's wig or a short wig for a girl (from top of ponytail to end).
  • Hair needs to be clean, and thoroughly dry.
  • Layered hair is acceptable.
  • Hair may not be colored or chemically treated within the last 2 years (including temporary color, stains, sun-in, henna, indigo, permanent color, highlights, perms or relaxers, etc).
  • Hair should not be more than 10% gray.
  • You may pull curly hair straight to measure the minimum 10”. It is not necessary to straighten it prior to donating.
  • We gratefully accept hair from all ages and all countries. The majority of our hair donations come from children helping other children.
  • Hair that was cut over a year ago or swept off the floor is not usable.

Donors must complete a hair donation form. You can print the form here or you can come to the Information Desk to get a copy. Please have this form ready for your appointment.
