Those unable to donate can still be involved by pledging to donate next year or by planning a donation cutting event for friends and family. Even something as simple as Tweeting their support for the program @Pantene using #BeautifulLengths will help support the cause. As a thank you to those who donate, Pantene Beautiful Lengths is running a special promotion at Walmart offering donors a rebate of up to $30 in the form of a VISA gift card by mail to cover the cost of their salon haircut. BeginningSeptember 3, 2013, donors can access the rebate by following three easy steps: 1) Request a donation kit fromhttp://gotobeautifullengths.com/ 2) Visit any salon and cut a minimum of 8 inches of hair – remember to follow the guidelines for hair donation! 3) Head to your nearest Walmart to purchase any Pantene product to style your new ‘do, then mail in your salon receipt, your Walmart receipt, and most importantly, your ponytail using the pre-paid envelope in the donation kit. Visit http://www.gotobeautifullengths.com/terms/ for complete terms and conditions. Those who cannot donate on September 7 are still encouraged to make the cut. Walmart is running the promotion all through September and October to continue their support of the program and Pantene Beautiful Lengths accepts donations year-round. “We are thrilled to have Walmart as a partner this year for National Donate Your Hair Day in addition to our continuing partnership with Seventeen magazine,” says Mike Schmidt, Director, P&G Walmart Customer Team. “The Pantene Beautiful Lengths program continues to grow within communities and to have such large partners call attention to the cause is simply amazing.” If you are looking for inspiration for your new hair cut, the September issue of Seventeen includes a special feature on National Donate Your Hair Day and provides a variety of cute cuts and styling options for those planning to donate. National Donate Your Hair Day participants are encouraged to show off their new cuts by Tweeting @Pantene and @Seventeenmag using #BeautifulLengths. “It’s important for our readers to look good and do good,” says Ann Shoket, Editor and Chief of Seventeen magazine. “National Donate Your Hair Day lets our girls help other girls and women feel beautiful—it’s such an inspirational program.” For more information about National Donate Your Hair Day, the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program, or how to get involved, please visit www.beautifullengths.com. The requirements to donate hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths are: Each hair donation must be at least 8 inches long. Hair may be colored with vegetable dyes, rinses and semi-permanent dyes. It cannot be bleached, permanently colored or chemically treated. Gray hair is difficult to use in the wig-making process, so hair may not be more than 5% gray at the time of donation.

That’s why in July 2006, Pantene created Pantene Beautiful Lengths, a campaign that inspires people to grow, cut and donate their healthy hair to make free real-hair wigs for women who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments. Since the program began, celebrities such as Diane Lane and two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank have proudly donated their hair to the cause, attracting the hearts and the hair of women, men and children across the US. Regardless of whether individuals donated in a private gesture at their local salon, or joined others in the phenomenon of community cutting events, their generosity has resulted in more than 500,000 ponytail donations and the distribution of more than 28,000 free, real-hair wigs. The American Cancer Society distributes Pantene Beautiful Lengths wigs through their nationwide network of wig banks at no cost, and is the sole distributer of all the campaign’s wigs.
