Keepyourhair

Keep Your Hair is a nonprofit initiative based in Ridgeland, Mississippi, working to make hair loss optional for women receiving chemotherapy. The organization focuses on cold-cap use as a way to help reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss. A cold cap is a gel cap cooled with dry ice that lowers scalp temperature, reducing the amount of chemotherapy that reaches hair follicles and helping mitigate hair loss.

Keep Your Hair presents hair preservation as part of supporting women through cancer treatment. Its materials explain the initiative, answer common questions, and provide instructions for people interested in learning about cold caps. The organization also invites visitors to take action and learn how they can help advance its work.

Keep Your Hair highlights the emotional impact that hair loss can have, including effects on self-esteem and mental health, and describes its goal of positively affecting women’s experiences as they fight cancer. Through its nonprofit mission and public outreach, the initiative aims to grow support for making hair preservation an option during chemotherapy.
