Breast Cancer Care – HeadStrong Service

Breast Cancer Care’s free HeadStrong service provides practical tips and information on looking after your hair and scalp before, during and after treatment. You will be able to try a range of hats, scarves, fringes and hairpieces in a comfortable and private environment. You also have the opportunity to buy selected items of stock. You can attend as many times as you want – and can bring a companion along for support.

HeadStrong is available at various centres throughout the North and Midlands, as well as in London and Scotland. New services are also planned for the rest of the country.

It's a good idea to make an appointment before you lose your hair so that you are prepared in advance and you're aware of what's available.
