Hair today, gone tomorrow. A 9-year-old girl is cutting her hair off and donating it to a group that makes wigs for women with cancer. Her kindness motivated her aunt to also shed her locks.

Both Haley Spitz and her aunt Marla Spitz stopped by Channel 3 to make the donation.

We had stylists from Lavish Color Salon here to get the job done. The hair will be sent to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, which donates the wigs to the American Cancer Society.

Beautiful Lengths is a partnership between Pantene® and the American Cancer Society®, the largest nonprofit health organization committed to saving lives from every cancer and improving the quality of life for people facing the disease.

The role of Pantene is to help women grow long, strong, beautiful hair and to provide the funds to turn this hair into free, real-hair wigs for women with cancer.

So far, Pantene has donated 24,000 free real-hair wigs to the American Cancer Society's wig banks, which distribute wigs to cancer patients across the country.

To see if you are eligible to receive a free wig or if there are wigs available in your area, please call the American Cancer Society's Wig Bank Line at 1-877-227-1596.
