In the United States, cancer is the leading cause of death in children and the second leading cause of death in women; many have to go through chemotherapy and, as a result, lose their hair. Hair loss is the hardest part about cancer for many people because it changes their appearance in a way that makes them feel self-conscious and sickly. Fortunately, there are several organizations that accept hair donations and make wigs for patients with cancer. The organizations have varying requirements for hair donations, as well as for the patients who receive the wigs.
