Shaving cancer patient's head?

[ellishairbeauty]

Hi!
My best and most loyal customer has been struck with the dreaded cancer.
She has medium legnth, naturally straight hair. It is a fine texture but there is a lot there.
She is shaving her head before the chemo takes it to make into a wig for other cancer victims.
My question. When i shave the hair do they need the hair in its full legnth in order to make the wig or shall i cut with scissors first then go over with the clippers?
Thanks

Kind Regards, Ellis

Probably best to ponytail in a position that gives you the evenest fullest pony.. Cut above the band

This page maybe of help. There are certain rules and regulations for hair being donated to charity.

We recently did this on a 16 year old, (she didn't have cancer) but wanted to raise money for cancer research.

Her hair was really long and I'm sure my daughter was nervous but never showed it. Good cause though x

You'll be fine, good luck x

I shaved a lady's hair for charity so she could make it into a wig I started off putting it in 6 even pony tails then use the clippers at a grade 2 then a grade 1 then tidied it up around the neck and around the ears
