Your ponytail can give someone their confidence back.
Hair for Hope is the charity initiative of HEADS by volu-med. Donate your hair in Makati and it becomes part of a real-hair wig for someone in the Philippines living with hair loss — crafted with the same care as everything we make.

From your chair to someone else's mirror.
Book your donation cut
Reserve your Hair for Hope appointment at HEADS in Makati. Our stylists prepare, section and cut your donation properly — and give you a beautiful new cut to go home with.
Your hair is crafted
Donated hair is sorted and prepared by our specialists, then worked into real-hair pieces in our own atelier — The European Hair Factory, the family's bespoke manufacture.
A wig finds its wearer
Finished pieces reach people in the Philippine hair-loss and alopecia community — so that losing hair never has to mean losing yourself.
Can I donate?
If you're thinking about a big cut — make it count.
Most healthy, well-cared-for hair from 14 inches can be donated. Not sure whether yours qualifies? Message us or ask at your appointment — we will always tell you honestly before we cut.
The donation cut is ₱1,200 — a haircut by a HEADS professional stylist, and your contribution to what happens next: every donation is cleaned, sorted by quality and strand health, washed, drawn to length, hackled and bundled before it can become part of a wig.
- Minimum length: 14 inches (about 35 cm)
- Healthy hair, clean and dry on the day of the cut
- Cut and bundled properly by our stylists — that's what the donation appointment is for
- Questions about colour-treated or curly hair? Ask us first — we'll advise honestly
Who it helps
For the alopecia and hair-loss community of the Philippines.
Hair loss touches far more people than most of us realise — through alopecia, medical treatment, or conditions no one chooses. Hair for Hope exists so that real, natural-looking hair is within reach for the people who need it most.
HEADS donates finished wigs to those in need — in collaboration with Alopecia Philippines and major hospitals across the Philippines, including a Memorandum of Understanding with Makati Medical Center and partnerships with many more organizations. You can follow the donations on our social channels and those of our donors.
