November 11th launches Pantene's 2nd Annual donate your hair week for women undergoing cancer treatment!

Pantene Beautiful Lengths is the first program of its kind in Australia and New Zealand to inspire women to grow cut and donate their hair to be turned into real hair wigs for women undergoing cancer treatment.

Since launch, over 6,000 ponytails have been donated to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. This year, help Pantene create even more real-hair wigs by growing your hair long and strong with the new Pantene Beautiful Lengths Strengthening Collection before you donate.

Monday 11th November marks the launch of Pantene’s second annual National Donate Your Hair Week in Australia, which sees hair donation events taking place across the country. Pantene ambassadors, Barney Martin, and, Zoe Foster Blake, are encouraging people to get involved by pledging their ponytails to the cause.

Find out how to hold your own cutting event by visiting Pantene Beautiful Lengths and registering to receive a party pack.

Barney Martin: “There’s no better reason to go short than Pantene Beautiful Lengths, and Pantene’s National Donate Your Hair Week is a great opportunity to chop off your ponytail. Short, sleek styles are in this summer and there’s a style to suit all face shapes, so what are you waiting for – pledge your ponytail today!” 

If you’re considering going short and donating your ponytail to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program, but not quite sure if the look will work for you, fear not, Barney, gives his reasons why short can work for every occasion. Now you can help a cancer patient in Australia and New Zealand deal with one of the effects of cancer treatment and rock a new look at the same time.

Here are a few of Barney’s tips to rock that short style:  

Work event: “Sweep the front of hair back off face to create a voluminous crown, and use pins to secure hair pulled back at the sides. The elegant look works well with chin length hair blow dried to turn in slightly at the ends.”

Tip: Use the Pantene Beautiful Lengths Strengthening Collection to smooth hair and help repair damage to prepare hair for this sleek look.

Date night: “Go smooth and sleek with a glossy cut finishing just below your chin. Complete the look with a blunt fringe sitting just above your eyes for maximum impact.”

Tip: Use Pantene Styling Treatment Foam Smooth Straight before blow-drying for a smooth finish.

Beach break: “For the ultimate in easy holiday styling, make the most of a low maintenance jaw length bob tousled by salt and sun. Opt for an eyebrow-grazing fringe for a playful edge.”

Tip: Use Pantene Styling Treatment Mist Soft Curls to help keep waves soft and touchable.
