The best way to go about that is to do a Google search for any hair donation sites. Also, there are plenty of hair stylists who know about hair drives that usually offer discounted or even free hair cuts for charity.

The most recognized hair donation organization is called Locks of Love, and the hair must be a minimum of ten inches long with rubber bands at both ends. The hair must also be virgin hair, meaning it must not have had any chemical services performed on it prior to donation. The hair can be sent by you or your hairdresser.
