I have an acquaintance who has a different hair style every time I see her.  I don't know her circumstances, but I do know she can pick out the right style for her face and make it look fabulous every time.

What I did not know is she lost all of her hair.  Her gorgeous locks were all wigs.  When she told me, I felt so happy she didn't lose her sparkle for who she was; she was always known as the woman with the beautiful hair.

It never occurred to me where she found her wigs, until a friend of mine was recently diagnosed with cancer and lost all of her hair.  This friend also had sumptuous hair, so when she lost it from stem cell therapy, she freaked out a bit.

I asked her about buying a wig.  She told me they are thousands of dollars and her insurance only covered $700, so she wasn't sure she was able to afford it.

Not only was the cost a concern, but she couldn't find a reputable wig center with real human hair wigs.  She found plenty of cheaper synthetic wigs, but not human hair wigs.

My friend had enough to deal with being a cancer patient, let alone worry about her hair.  She was always a very stylish woman, so why should she give up on the chicness which made her feel her best?

She finally found a wig center 30 miles away, and spent quite a bit on a wig that was very close to her previous hair color and cut.

We all know someone affected by cancer, and many lose their precious hair.  Great wigs are hard to find, but I did come across a wig center in Dover, New Hampshire, that gets it.

CAUSE Hair Salon has a full wig center by appointment.  The owner, Michelle Meagher, lost her mom to ovarian cancer, but during her mom's treatment, they had a difficult time locating reputable wig salons who didn't ask about insurance first.

Michelle decided to open a wig center attached to her salon, so she could offer dignity in a private area for people with full or partial hair loss in a confidential setting, according to fosters.com.
