Some places won't take it because it is brittle and breaks easily during wig making. Some won't accept it because it won't hold the color applied in manufacturing. Nevertheless, there are options for those wishing to donate gray hair to charity.

At World of Wigs, you can not only donate your gray hair but you can specify a person you want your hair to go to.
