A woman's hair is an incredible instrument of self-expression, defining her self-image in a way that almost no other physical attribute can. So what does hair loss mean to a woman? Hair loss can strike an especially crippling blow to women fighting cancer. In fact, a recent study revealed that nearly 60 percent of women consider hair loss the most dreaded side effect they face when undergoing chemotherapy. Real-hair wigs can cost as much as $1,200 and are often only partially covered by health insurance.
Donating your hair is a heartfelt and life-changing act of women's cancer and breast cancer support. When you're ready, make the kindest cut of all and donate your hair to make free wigs for women who have lost their hair to cancer. Visit
