Heathers Hair, offering an alternative to a wig!

Thank you for taking an interest in my blog, my name is Lydia and the charity I am being an advocate for is called Heathers Hair. 1 in 3 get cancer and Heathers Hair provides a hairpiece, which is an alternative to wearing a wig, to people who have lost hair. I hope to make more people understand what my charity is and also promote it to others who wear ordinary wigs. I think you should support my charity is a feel not
enough people know about Heathers Hair and what it does, if people knew more about it Heathers Hair many people could be helped. You could support my charity be giving monetary donations or maybe even offering to give up some of your time. I would hope that by the time you have finished reading my blog you would, feel more informed about Heathers Hair, tell other people as well as considering about giving a donation.

I think you should support my charity as studies have shown 1 in 3 people get cancer, meaning one day it could be you in need of help. If you felt unhappy wearing an ordinary wig, Heathers Hair would be happy to help and show you their hairpieces which are real hair weaves sewn onto a sweatband. If you would like to do some further research on the charity please go to, www.heathershair.co.uk


Susan lost her hair when she had to have chemotherapy, it was a very stressful ordeal and Susan felt fragile. She did not like having a hot, heavy wig on her head all the time, and she was also self-conscious that many people stared at her. When Susan found out about Heathers Hair I was a light at the end of the tunnel. She got one of the Heathers Hair hairpieces and wore it until some of her own hair had grown back.


Thank you again for reading my blog; please could you now take a moment to leave me a response. In your response please can you just write a brief sentence answering the following questions?

  • Would you be willing to do any of the following things in order to help the charity:
  • Make a donation to Heathers Hair?

  • Tell others about Heathers Hair and what it does?
If you post a response, please tell me where you are from if its not the UK ie your hometown and country.
