Naturals is a pioneer the salon industry Hair is the crowning glory that adds beauty for women. Women suffering from cancer greatly worry about hair loss post the chemotherapy and radiation. Of course hair will grow but in the course of the chemotherapy the patients will experience total hair loss.

A wig made of natural hair will give confidence and improve the patients self-confidence and hasten treatment. We think of them as Necessity Wearers, as they do it out of necessity.  We are immensely happy to see that these young students are coming forward to donate their hair. Not all would have the courage but these youngsters at PSG CAS have volunteered to bring smiles in the face of survivors.”
