WHAT IS THE WIG EXCHANGE?
For many women, hair loss is the most troublesome side effect of chemotherapy. A nice wig can ease that concern, but well-made wigs are expensive and may not be covered by insurance. Meanwhile, women who have finished their cancer treatments are often unsure of what to do with their gently used wigs. This is why we created The Wig Exchange.
The Wig Exchange provides high-quality wigs and practical tips for managing the issues surrounding cancer-related hair loss. In addition, The Wig Exchange provides a meaningful way for women to recycle their gently used wigs while helping others facing cancer. Our volunteer Wig Advisors, each one a cancer survivor themselves, meet with each client to find the right wig, explain how to wear and care for it, and can help arrange a pre-chemo haircut and/or wig styling, if necessary.
I NEED A WIG
If you or someone you know will be undergoing chemotherapy and experiencing hair loss, we may be able to help by providing a wig to wear throughout treatment. While we have some brand new wigs in our inventory, we are especially proud to offer high quality wigs donated by survivors who want to pay it forward. All gently used wigs are professionally cleaned and reconditioned, so they are completely hygienic and look new!
