Many, but not all, people face the prospect of losing their hair as part of their treatment for cancer. Hair loss can be one of the most distressing side effects of cancer treatment. Hair can also have particular significance across different cultures.

For short term or longer term hair loss sufferers, this distress is understandable as the way we feel about ourselves and how we look is closely linked to our feelings of self-esteem and self-confidence. It can also be a constant 'reminder' of your treatment for cancer.

Whether your hair loss be as a result or diagnosed as longer term alopecia, this may make you feel vulnerable. Karen's training with Trevor Sorbie supports both short term and long term sufferers which can effect men, women and children of all ages.

Karen is part of a national network of  'My New Hair' trained hairdressers who support people with medical hair loss by; providing a wig personalisation service in a safe and private environment. For people who choose to wear a wig, some worry that this may look unnatural. The difference that a professionally cut wig can make should not be underestimated. It is possible to transform a wig from an 'obvious wig' into an individuals 'new hair'. Many people are unaware that this is possible and assume that a wig cannot be cut and styled further.
