HeadStrong provides practical support and information about hair loss to anyone, male or female, who is likely to lose their hair as a result of treatment for any type of cancer.
HeadStrong is available on an appointment basis, every Wednesday from 9.30am – 12.30pm at Helen Webb House.
Trained volunteers will show you a range of scarf-tying techniques and you will have the opportunity to try on different types of headwear to find out what suits you best. You will also gain practical tips on caring for your hair and scalp before, during and after treatment.
We recommend you book an appointment before you start to lose your hair so you are more prepared and know what is available in advance. You can attend as many times as you like and are welcome to bring a companion for support. Each appointment lasts for an hour and takes place in a relaxing and private environment.
HeadStrong is provided by Breast Cancer Care in partnership with Coping with Cancer.
