There are unsung heroes out there who are willing to donate their hair to adults and children going through cancer treatment out of the goodness of their hearts. These folks part ways with their hair, then it is processed and made into real hair wigs for people who have lost their own.
Fortunately, through the magic of the internet, these heroes can get at least a moment in the spotlight, as many show before and after pics, which we have gathered here. Get comfortable, upvote your favorites, and comment your thoughts below. We also got in touch with the Little Princess Trust to learn more about donating.

#17 Nikhilesh Thota Is One Of Our Most Recent “Wigs For Kids” Donors
Nikhilesh says, “I’ve always had a complicated relationship with my hair. Growing up, teachers used to tell me I needed to comb my hair, and the other kids would say it looked like a bird’s nest. This created a lot of insecurity about my hair, so I started straightening it in high school to try and fit in with everyone else. One day, I didn’t straighten my hair, and a girl told me my hair looked beautiful. Long hair has given me so much confidence and helped me care less about other people’s opinions. Although I’m nervous about losing this part of my identity that has grown with my hair, I think I’m ready to experience something new. These locks have empowered me in so many ways, and I’m glad they will continue to make a difference, empowering kids that have lost their hair to help them look like the rockstars they truly are.”
