[2]NME • Hair Donation Scandal In 2017, Lele Pons faced backlash after posting an Instagram photo of her new haircut with a freshly chopped-off ponytail in which she claimed she donated it to charity but fans noticed the ponytail like hair extensions wrapped in an elastic instead of her actual just-cut hair which led to accusations that she had lied about donating her hair. After facing allegations, Lele Pons made a tweet saying "To help clear any assumptions, I cut my hair with the intention of donating it. Sadly after trying, I learned charities who donate wigs don't accept color treated hair. So I'm finding other ways to help those affected by hair loss b/c of cancer. This is still a priority for me."
