specially created for her wig, which she can use as her own hair grows
in, to empower her along her healing journey,”
noted Tigerlily Foundation founder Maimah Karmo. “As a survivor of
breast cancer, I know how important it is to feel you are at your best,
and this is wonderful simple way of helping someone to feel empowered
with their new look. This is a life-affirming way
to help women feel good about themselves, and feel that cancer, their
new normal, can’t just take away their identity.”
Nicole
Paul, the founder of High Definition Hair®, agreed, and said, “Battling
breast cancer is very draining, and something as simple as helping
women look like themselves will help them in feeling more empowered and
less helpless during their journey.”
