This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

Listen up, collegiettes: your hair can do much bigger things than just making you look fabulous. The Beautiful Lengths program, a partnership between Pantene and the American Cancer Society that started in 2006, wants you to “pony up” and donate your hair so they can provide free wigs for women with cancer.

So far, Pantene has donated 24,000 free real-hair wigs to the American Cancer Society’s wig banks so that thousands of female cancer patients can “feel like themselves again.” With National Breast Cancer Awareness Month coming up this October, what better way to show your support than by donating your hair?

Check out the video below to see which celebrities are supporting this awesome cause and how you can get involved!
