don't "donate" your hair to orgs btw they are mostly either straight up scams or just mired in waste. if you want to do charity hair just sell it yourself and do what you want with the money
selling your own hair and then putting that money into someone's GoFundMe is going to do more good than ever giving it to a middleman. or just sell it for yourself! keep in mind hair that has ever been bleached or dyed is worth almost nothing but frankly if you have super long hair and are getting a big cut I would try selling it anyway, might be worth a few bucks
edit: also there are a lot of haircut fetishists who will pay for it even if your hair is dyed

this one is one of my proudest works ever. I am so happy even just seeing it, idk why. btw this is Lizzie cosplaying as my other (main) fursona (Philippa).
Tumblr media
This drawing I did portrays her a bit earlier on lorewise. I mostly did it since I am gonna get my own hair cut short soon (this summer) and donate it and kinda made this drawing to represent it. Haven't shared it yet everywhere though as I am waiting for Summer for that.
Tumblr media
this one is just a sketch for now as I need to draw the proper digital one still. But this is Lizzie if she got the super leaf from mario. I have a series going on where I draw my other fursona (Philippa) in different Mario Power Ups and upnext was the super leaf, I still need to draw that though but in the meantime, I also sketched out a version with Lizzie too!
Anyway if you wanna do fan art of her, go ahead! I encourage it even! But pls dont do any nsfw, gore, political or sensitive art of her though, thanks.

“A Belgian NGO is using human hair clippings to absorb environmental pollutants.
The Hair Recycle Project is led by Belgian non-profit Dung Dung, which develops waste recovery schemes that support a circular economy.
For this project, clippings are collected from hairdressers across the country. The hair is then fed into a machine that turns it into matted squares. These can be used to absorb oil and other hydrocarbons polluting the environment. They can also be made into bio-composite bags.
The mats can be placed in drains to soak up pollution in water before it reaches a river. They can also be used to deal with pollution problems due to flooding and to clean up oil spills.
A single kilogram of hair can absorb seven to eight litres of oil and hydrocarbons.  
"Our products are all the more ethical as they are manufactured locally... they are not imported from the other side of the planet," says project co-founder Patrick Janssen. "They are made here to deal with local problems."
How else can human hair be recycled?
While long, healthy locks can be donated to make wigs, shorter hair clippings have a variety of other uses.
Since hair is nitrogen rich, it can be used as a garden fertiliser. Various companies are also experimenting with hair as a building material.
London based biomanufacturing company Biohm is using human hair waste to produce alternatives to wood based sheet material and 3D objects. At this year's London Design Week, Studio Sanne Visser unveiled homeware that incorporated human hair rope.
On its website, the Hair Recycle Project lauds the powerful properties of hair: one strand can support up to 10 million times its own weight. As well as absorbing fat and hydrocarbons, it is water-soluble and highly elastic due to its keratin fibres.
Isabelle Voulkidis, manager of the Helyode salon in Brussels, is one of dozens of hairdressers across the country that pay a small fee to the project to collect their hair cuttings.
"What motivates me, personally, is that I find it a shame hair is nowadays just thrown in the bin, when I know that so much could be done with it," she says.” -via EuroNews, 12/29/22

When I went back to college in 2021, I promised myself I would grow my hair out so it would be long and beautiful for graduation 👩🏻‍🎓 I also promised myself that I would then cut it and donate it after graduation. I graduated on April 30th of last month and today I finally made the big chop! 14 inches of my hair will be getting mailed to Wigs for Kids first thing tomorrow and I can't wait for it to make a difference in the life of a child who truly needs it.
For me, this was a process of personal growth and the goal to make a difference helped me push through those really draining semesters. So not only will I be helping someone, but they helped me too without even knowing it. So, to the recipient of my hair, thank you!🩷

This is your sign to donate hair for oncologic patients 💇🏽‍♀️
Been growing them for five years, since I saw an association advertising it. So thrilled it's finally happening!

I was today years old when I discovered you can donate hair
I loved my long wavy hair but they had become too bothersome to keep, so I decided to cut them, but it felt like a waste, and then I discovered you can donate them! My hair will be sold and with the money from the sale a non profit organization will buy wigs to donate to people undergoing chemotherapy who cannot afford to buy one.
If you too want to cut a lot of hair, check if any local hairdresser has this kind of agreement going on. I didn't know, I was told by a friend, so I want to spread some awareness on this opportunity to do something good :)
