What do you do? Cancer Hair Care is a unique charity service founded by me. The service is run by the charity Caring Hair. We offer free, expert advice and support on all aspects of hair loss, hair loss prevention (scalp cooling) and hair care, before, during and after cancer treatments. We can also offer support to people with non-cancer treatment related hair loss.
Latest fundraising news Cancer Hair Care celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2022 and put in place a host of fundraising activities taking place across the year. If you would like to hold a coffee morning or bake sale to raise funds for Cancer Hair Care please contact support@cancerhaircare.com for a fundraising pack.
What can knitters do to help? Knit our beautiful Hair Loss Dollies. These therapeutic dolls are a vital tool in helping parents and carers to explain the hair loss and regrowth journey to a child in a safe, fun and playful way. Get in touch for the knitting pattern.
