Head covers are a way individuals battling cancer are able to showcase their individuality while weathering the realities of hair loss. This October, we released a limited edition collection in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 20% of the net profits from purchases of this five item collection - two head wraps, two scrunchies, or the double sided headband - will directly benefit Sisters By Choice.
Sisters by Choice is a collective of men and women working together to fight a force that doesn’t discriminate. By providing services for uninsured and underserved women, like free mammograms and breast exams, Sisters by Choice promotes breast cancer awareness to the most disadvantaged communities.
