These two wigs are on route to a lady in need completely FREE of charge.
Our Twice as Nice wig service means you can donate your used or unwanted wigs to us and we will clean them and pass them on.
Great for people and great for the environment.

We recently heard from one of our lovely patients

We recently heard from one of our lovely patients who sent us this photo of her daughter with a big smile having received one of our unique Hair Loss Dollies.
Our FREE knitted Dolly helps children to understand hair loss through play.
The Dolly has hair on one side and no hair on the other. Each also comes complete with little hats and scarves for children to play with.
Hair Loss Dollies are available in multiple skin colours and each dolly is health and safety checked. Please contact us via support@cancerhaircare.com if you would like to receive a dolly.
We also have FREE Hair Loss Support Packs especially for teenagers or children. The packs contain headwear, accessories, scalp care items and lots more, and can be sent to hospital or home.
Please get in touch – we are here to help you make hair loss one less worry.

Thank you to our lovely friends at the @brewerytea

Thank you to our lovely friends at the @brewerytearooms in Walkern for their donation of delicious biscuits beautifully made in the shape of golden crowns for our Cancer Hair Care team day.
We are so grateful for your support, today and always.

Here's some lovely feedback from Rona who attended

Here's some lovely feedback from Rona who attended a hair workshop run by us and @lgfbuk
"I attended the online hair workshop when I was halfway through chemotherapy and had already lost my hair and I enjoyed the whole session.
"Firstly, it was reassuring to see lots of other people on screen in similar circumstances.
"The presenter Jasmin was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of hair loss and subsequent care. She was very friendly, which made me feel at ease as I had been somewhat nervous about attending.
"The information about products was extremely useful, especially as they were tried and tested which was reassuring - not recommended for commercial gain!
"Tips about putting on a wig were also useful. When I put them into practice with my wig, it certainly felt more secure than it had before. I also discovered from Jasmin that my wig had Velcro straps at the back which enabled a snugger fit – I'd not been aware of them before.
"I would thoroughly recommend the workshops to anyone who has lost their hair as a result of cancer treatment. Although there is lots of information online, it is much more reassuring to hear a real person and to be among others with similar issues."
With great thanks to Rona and the lovely team at Look Good Feel Better UK. To book a hair workshop, please visit our website or click on the link in our bio.

We’d like to say a HUGE thank you to the lovely

We’d like to say a HUGE thank you to the lovely Dagmar, who has fundraised an incredible £815 for our charity.
As we rely totally on donations, this will mean we can offer vital hair loss support to many more people before, during and after their cancer treatment.
Together, we can help to make hair loss one less worry.

Diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2020, @ab

Diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2020, @abbiesboobieblog1976 decided to do something amazing for Cancer Hair Care. Along with her childhood friend Kelly and nephew Jodi, the trio shaved their heads in a live YouTube ‘Brave the Shave’ video, and they raised more than £6,000.
Abbie’s incredible donation will enable us to help hundreds of beneficiaries facing hair loss on their cancer journey and we couldn’t be more thankful.
Cancer Hair Care’s founder Jasmin said: “We are so grateful to Abbie and her supporters for helping give back so that the support Abbie received can be shared with many more.”
Our latest blog has Abbie’s cancer and hair loss experience in her own words.

Our scalp care packs are being sent off to teenage

Our scalp care packs are being sent off to teenage patients at UCLH hospital today. With thanks to our volunteer team and a grant from @johnlyonscharity we have supported hundreds of young people during hair loss. One young recipient said “I’ve had caps, hats, scalp care packs and chats with the Cancer Hair Care Team. I also helped out at a workshop for others who like me are in hospital during chemo. Thanks because it really helps me to feel okay”. @teenage_cancer @uclh #cancerhaircare
