It's a little more involved than just having 'hair'. There's certain requirements to the quality of the hair, general health, length of the hair, hair that isn't dyed, bleached, or otherwise modified in some way.

I only know any of this because my sister was the recipients of one of those wigs. Even though the hair is donated, the wigs themselves aren't usually free to people that need them - while they're often covered by insurance plans, they can get ridiculously expensive for a good quality wig.
