amika X HairToStay

HairToStay is a nonprofit organisation committed to raising awareness and financial aid for scalp cooling, a treatment which can reduce hair loss during chemotherapy. this helps to maintain a sense of normalcy and privacy in a patients life and avoid the emotional damage that hair loss can often cause.
though used throughout Europe and across the globe for close to two decades, this technology was largely unavailable and unknown in the US, until the FDA Clearance in December 2015. currently, scalp cooling is not covered by most insurance providers and inaccessible for many people.
