Tips for hair
Hair loss or thinning of hair may be a result of radiation or chemotherapy treatments. The list below includes a variety of resources available to help you or your family member manage hair loss.
Education and Information:
CancerCare has a great online educational fact sheet called Tips for Managing Hair Loss. It includes common questions and answers about hair loss due to cancer treatments, tips for obtaining a wig, and support services.
Assistance with Wigs or Hats:
Look Good…Feel Better program from the American Cancer Society offers men and women with information on group workshops, one-on-one salon consultations and self help materials (available in English and Spanish). For more information, call 800.395.5665.
American Cancer Society's Tender Loving Care (TLC) online catalog is another helpful resource. TLC's mission is to help women cope during and after cancer treatments by providing wigs and other hair loss products.
