Empowerment comes in many forms
An estimated 6.7 million Americans and 160 million people worldwide face serious hair loss resulting from the autoimmune disease alopecia areata. An additional 65% of cancer patients, already battling a serious disease, also experience significant Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia (CIA). While many of us may take our own hair for granted, these individuals regularly struggle with very real consequences, including depression, a loss of well-being, social anxiety, youth bullying, and even a loss of self-identity.
As one solution for empowering these individuals to boldly face these challenges with confidence and a greater sense of self-worth, Select Your Crown (SYC) provides high-quality, custom wigs to women, men and children struggling with alopecia. With an emphasis on using predominantly real, human hair and capturing the former glory of each recipient’s former hair type and style, SYC targets beneficiaries who may not otherwise have the resources to acquire such quality hair solution. We believe that all people, regardless of their stage in life and socio-economic circumstances, deserve to feel confident and beautiful, inside and outside.
It’s not “only skin deep”
Although we may sometimes think of hair as being superficial and insignificant, the truth is, we are often judged by others based upon our appearances. Hair loss, particularly for those struggling with it, can be scary, emotionally difficult and even devastating, directly impacting our own sense of beauty, self-worth and well-being. It also can contribute to other health conditions. Given this reality, it may not be surprising that 58% of patients reported alopecia as being the worst side-effect of chemotherapy. In fact, up to 14% of cancer patients refuse chemotherapy treatment due to the risk of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia. Unfortunately, medical science has yet to discover a reliable and consistent cure for various forms of alopecia.
Select Your Crown provides high quality, natural-looking, custom hair pieces, containing 100% real human hair, to women, men and children suffering from various forms of alopecia. And our donors, sponsors, volunteers and partners enable us to share this solution with a diverse range recipients, regardless of their socio-economic circumstances.
