About Mane’s 4 Melanin’s

Recently, a dear friend of mines asked me to be in prayer as she started her fight with the “C” word we hate to hear-Cancer. I couldn't believe it. The news hit me like a ton of bricks! Immediately, I wanted to help in making this as painless as possible. I knew that getting pass chemo would be our number one priority, yet I couldn’t help but think, “Does she need a wig?” and “Can we go shopping?” With her being a BOSS in every definition of the word, it was important that she still had the same confidence to be confident after she beat the battle. Not knowing the best time to present the idea of wig shopping, I kept quiet. While in silence and with heavy uncertainty, I was torn between the thought of offering my help or waiting for her to ask.

In the meantime, she started the search alone to find her perfect crown. Unaware of my skills, knowledge and passion for wigs, she sought out service from a local stylist. Unfortunately, the stylist was not well versed in custom wigs. I was fuming mad at myself for not speaking up sooner. So I vowed to never allow this to happen to anyone again on my watch! Cancer is a battle in itself; your hair should be the last task you have to worry about. That's how Mane's 4 Melanin's was born!  Having dealt with hair loss myself, I have done research for years finding the most amazing wigs and hairpieces. I was disappointed with my research on hair loss and cancer patient websites and companies. There were not many options for women of ANY melanin!
