About

The Essence Wigs Charity was established in 2020. The charity’s mission is to provide afro and kinky textured wigs to children and adults undergoing chemotherapy or experiencing hair loss due to cancer or another serious medical condition. Individuals often view their hair as their crowning glory and hair is also a part of an individual's identity. It is a feature that increases confidence and enhances beauty. Losing one’s hair can be an extremely hard battle to face. The beginning of hair loss can contribute to decreased self-esteem and connotes to the individual experiencing it, the seriousness of their illness. The charity will be partnering with cancer hospitals and care centers to provide wigs to children and adults in need of wigs that resemble their afro and kinky hair textures. We've come to learn of the lack of hair donation organizations who deal with afro textured hair. 

We are skilled and knowledgeable about afro and kinky hair textures and have developed processes for the creation and provision of wigs with these textures. Cancer patients and individuals experiencing hair loss with these hair types do want to have access to wigs with textures that look like their own. Unfortunately, the availability of afro and kinky textured wigs to these individuals are non-existent as most donor organizations primarily deal with straight hair.  At this current time, please consider making a financial gift to the charity as we increase fundraising efforts.

Essence Wigs was created in 2015 for the purpose of providing afro and kinky textured wigs to a global customer base and for general celebration and appreciation of afro textured hair. We are expanding six years later to establish the charity, which will be an organization for cancer patients  and individuals, experiencing hair loss and demonstrating financial need, to have access to afro and kinky textured wigs free of charge. Purchasing hair or wigs can be costly to the cancer patient who may already be inundated with medical bills related to their ailment.
