My loved one is undergoing treatment for chemotherapy, can my hair be used to make a wig for them?

This is a question we get quite frequently. Nell’s does not take in hair to make custom wigs for guests. There are many factors and steps taken to make a human hair wig.  An average wig to construct and build takes about four full heads of hair. Additionally, there is a specific process in which the hair has to go through in order for the hair not to tangle and matte up when being washed. On average, a custom wig can take anywhere from 12-16 weeks from final measurement and approval to receiving your final product. This timeline unfortunately does not work for the majority of our guests undergoing chemotherapy.
