I Can’t Donate Hair, How Do I Help?

April 26, 2018

When a child loses their hair, they don’t just suffer physically. They experience great emotional pain from the extreme change in their appearance. Losing their hair can significantly harm their self-image and self-esteem. When you donate hair for wigs to Wigs for Kids, you’re helping a child receive more than just a quick fix. Because our hair replacement systems are custom made to perfectly fit the recipient and feel like real hair, they won’t come off when a child is swimming or playing sports. These hair pieces can be trusted to stay in place.

How Else You Can Support a Child with Hair Loss

Wigs for Kids: Sponsor a Child with Hair Loss BrochureAt Wigs for Kids, we know that not everyone can donate their hair to help provide custom wigs for children suffering from hair loss. There are many ways that you can show support, one being the sponsorship of a child.

If you’re looking for causes to donate to, consider Wigs for Kids! Our monthly partners impact the lives of children battling hair loss due to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, Alopecia, Trichotillomania, burns and other medical circumstances.

If you or a loved one is experiencing hair thinning or hair loss, learn more about solutions available to you on the Jeffrey Paul Blog.
