allows the Solid’Hair association to sell hair to wigmakers

A year ago, at the opening of her show, Katia Brossier immediately decided to be a partner of the Solid’Hair association. “It was a priority. For me, it was very important to be part of this association, “recalls the young hairdresser after saying goodbye to her last clients. This desire comes to her by contact with some of her clientele affected by cancer who have had to do chemotherapy. “When you’re a woman, losing her hair is really terrible. I wanted to do something cheap full lace wig human hair, “she says. Partner of Solid’Hair but also place of deposit of wicks, his living room is the only one in the center of Tours to propose to give hair to the association.

A gift then allows the Solid’Hair association to sell hair to wigmakers. The money thus collected makes it possible to buy capillary prostheses from sick people with little means. At the price of 700 to 900 €, a good wig is clearly an important investment for the sick and Social Security reimburses on average only 90 €. So, rather than putting her hair in the trash, so give them a second life.
“For me, sending parcels to the association and the reduction on the benefit for clients making a donation represents a loss of only 70 € per month. It’s nothing at all, it costs nothing, “calculates Katia Brossier.

To give her hair, nothing more simple. Natural or colored, curly or smooth, everything is accepted. The only constraint is to cut strands of at least 20 cm. “On average, women have cuts with 30 cm length so 20 cm, it is really the minimum so that they can recognize themselves with their wig,” says the manager of the show.
Since the beginning of the year, a dozen wigs have been made. Among the clients of the salon, a hundred gave their hair and about twenty people went to drop wicks that their hairdresser had cut. “Sometimes clients want a radical change of cut. They are therefore no longer within 4 or 5 cm. This is where I can propose to donate hair, “says Katia Brossier. An impressive figure. “If I bring so many people back, imagine if all the hairdressers did that? Asked the young woman.
