No. Wigged Out provides funding for individuals to shop for a wig that they choose from a reputable wig boutique. Wigged Out’s mission is to help restore a sense of self and confidence to those who have experienced hair loss, and therefore we believe it is crucial that our applicants are able to shop for their own wig and are empowered to choose the cut, style, color, and fit that makes them feel their best.

Remaining funds may be used towards the purchase of wig care items, such as shampoo kits, or other head coverings such as scarves or caps.
