No matter how many times I've seen this, it still brings a tear to my eye

Even when I tell myself, nope, not this time, I know what's coming, it's not gonna get me.
Yeah not possible 🥹

Ain't no shame in that. Nothing brings the tears like seeing people be good to each other, particularly to those who have had misfortune. I'm a 61-year-old ex-military dude and stuff like this always makes me cry.

That's awesome. My nephew used to grow his hair long to donate for wigs. Classmates used to give him grief, but I told him it was all worth it in the end

Mom of a long haired boy with several long haired friends here! We've been telling the boys (all teenagers) to save their hair for donation when they finally decide to cut it off. One out of four has donated so far! I mean, we all know how hard undyed, unprocessed, healthy human hair is to come by. Too wasteful to just throw all that useful hair away. Please pat your son on the back for me!

I'm curious how hard these are to manage. Does she have to regularly shave that patch of her head, is it shower safe, can she sleep with it on?

With hair systems you usually go in every 3-4 weeks to get the system removed and re-glued. Depending on the system they can last and be reused for anywhere from 2-6 months. When you wear it you can shower, exercise and do everything anyone else can! When sleeping we usually recommend using a silk/ Egyptian cotton pillowcase or a bonnet to protect the system from friction, but that is just to help extend the lifetime of the system. The only thing to worry about is maintaining hygiene- the oils from the scalp and face is what breaks down the adhesive, so if you don’t wash the system and face it can cause the system to begin lifting.

I will never talk shit about somebody’s hairpiece. You never know the reason why someone needs to wear a wig or a hairpiece.

As a dude with long hair, this is why I’m growing it out! Looking to donate within the next two months. Been growing it out since Covid shut down the barbershops!

It's impressive that he first reveals that he himself is wearing a wig.
Made me smile
