Apply for a wig

Applying for a free wig

As we increase fundraising efforts, we will be accepting applications for individuals undergoing chemotherapy or experiencing hair loss due to serious medical conditions and who can also demonstrate financial need.  The wig you will receive will be similar to your hair texture or you have the choice to select from other afro, kinky or curly textures.  We ensure that our wigs will fit your head, are comfortable and suitable to your hair and scalp needs.  

Please contact to receive an application form.  We will be re-opening the application process in 2024.

Applicants:

• Can be an adult or child. An authorized adult must have permission to submit on behalf of a child.

• Must be experiencing hair loss as a result of chemotherapy, trichotillomania or burns. This must be officially notated by your caregiver or medical provider who will need to submit our form that you are in need of a wig due to a medical condition.

• Will need to submit 3-4 pictures of yourself showcasing your natural hair before your diagnosed medical condition.

• Must submit completed application form(s) which requires proof of financial need.
