Default Where to Donate Hair Dye?

I have 3 boxes of hair dye that I got for free after coupons. Well, I was planning on donating them, but I can't find a place. I searched for women's shelters, but none of them mention hair dye in their donation requests. On top of that, some don't list the address to protect the people who live there. Any advice?

just because they don't list it, doesn't mean they don't need/want it. it's just not a priority. you should try calling them up & asking if they would take it or not.

You could always donate them to Goodwill. They will sell them and use the money to support adults with special needs.

I too donate hair color to a local shelter when I get it free, I usually have some makeup and nail polishes too and put together more of a goody box for them along with the basic neccessities. The Woman always enjoy the extra bonus, its not something everyone thinks about. I would just include it in with the rest of the stuff.
