Natural Hair Care Donation Drive
New Horizons is so grateful for the recurring donations from our community, but we often find that toiletry donations often do not include the specific needs for Black women and Black hair care in particular.
In an effort to address this gap, New Horizons has partnered with the Women in the NAACP to host our first ever Black Hair Care summer donation drive!
You can support the needs of Black women served by New Horizons by donating Black hair care products to any of the physical drop-off locations or ordering an item from our Amazon wish list.
Desired donation items
- Travel or full-size conditioners, co-washes, and shampoos (sulfate, paraben free)
- Travel or full-size styling gels and custards
- Travel or full-size hair oils and masks (Argan, Morrocan, Avocado, Jojoba, etc.)
- Edge gel
- Tools (wide-tooth combs, bristle brushes, picks, etc.)
- Hair wraps
- Alligator clips, hair rollers (flexi or perm rods)
- Denman brushes, edge brushes
- Detangle brushes
