ABOUT US
We support and inspire those undergoing cancer treatment which may cause hair loss.
HeadWrappers is a hair loss advisory service, focusing on alternatives to wigs and practical tips. Our aim is to help people look good and feel more confident about themselves as they undergo cancer treatments which may cause hair loss.
HeadWrappers was founded by a group of volunteers who originally worked as part of Breast Cancer Care’s Headstrong Team. When Breast Cancer Care withdrew this part of their service, Cris, Julie and Karyn felt that the service was an important one, and that there was a need for those who were experiencing hair loss to be fully supported at what could be a really distressing time. This is how HeadWrappers was formed.
