✂️ Tools to Bring for Training

Hair Aid projects relies on donated tools and we have enough for the project but we also ask every volunteer to help collect supplies before departure:

  • Second-hand scissors: Ask your hairdressing friends or salon contacts for any old scissors they can donate. These will be sharpened and used for training on-site.

  • Hairdressing capes: We encourage each volunteer to bring 10 old capes—ask around your network!

  • Dolly heads: These are incredibly useful, even if they have very little hair left.

  • Spray bottles, clips, and combs: Any unused or old ones from your salon are perfect.



🎒 Extra Items to Pack

You’ll be spending time around local children, and bringing a few small gifts can help spread joy:

  • Colouring books, pencils, crayons

  • Balloons, bubbles, bracelets

  • Children’s books (great for donation to local schools)

🎁 Graduation Day Gifts (Optional)

Each trainee receives a scissor kit and a graduation gift from Hair Aid—but many volunteers enjoy bringing a small personal gift to show appreciation.

Ideas for affordable, thoughtful gifts:

  • Cotton bracelet or keyring

  • Small Shampoos or conditioners

  • Hair clips, combs, or compact mirrors

  • Playing cards, lip balm, nail polish, makeup pouch

You’ll typically have 20–25 trainees at your training location, so plan accordingly if you decide to bring gifts.
