Welcome to Ponytail Project
Grow your hair all year round and then #RockTheChop with your community to raise vital funds for Cancer Council Queensland.
How you choose to #RockTheChop is up to you. You can grow and cut your ponytail or even shave your head!
Our research shows 1 in 3 cancers can be prevented. Every ponytail chopped, and every dollar donated, funds vital cancer prevention work.

Where does your pony go?
The Sustainable Salons Depot
The first stop for your ponytail will be the Sustainable Salons depot. Here, the ponytails are sorted and graded by hand according to length, colour and hair type.
Independent Wigmakers
Ponytails can also be sent to local, independent wigmakers to be made into charitable wigs.
Charitable Organisations
Sustainable salons then sends the ponytails to charitable organisations, such as the Australia Alopecia Areata Foundation (AAAF), The Children's Charity and Freedom Wigs NZ.
