Haare spenden: So glücklich machen deine Haare | reporter

Real hair wigs can change lives and bring new joy. Loena (20) dyes and styles real hair wigs for cancer patients or people with alopecia areata. For many with hair loss, hair is very important for feeling confident. And it's precisely this responsibility that makes Loena quite nervous every time her clients put on their new wigs – their joy always motivates her. 🤷‍♀️ What are real hair wigs? Over 200,000 hairs are needed for just one real hair wig. They are usually hand-knotted and individually tailored to the client's wishes. From the moment the head measurements are taken until the wig is finished, it can take several months. The wigs can cost several thousand euros. There are also machine-made wigs, which are produced more quickly and cost less. If you have lost your hair due to illness and have a doctor's prescription, health insurance companies usually cover part of the cost. 💇🏻‍♀️ How can I donate? The German Cancer Aid (Deutsche Krebshilfe) provides information on what to consider when donating hair. They can also tell you when your hair is unsuitable for donation. Generally, it's important that it's at least 25 centimeters long to be eligible. https://www.krebshilfe.de/blog/haare-... 👩🏾‍🦲 What is alopecia areata? In medicine, alopecia areata is the term for circular hair loss. According to the University of Bonn, this form of hair loss affects one to two percent of the population: https://www.humangenetics.uni-bonn.de... It can be caused by genetic factors as well as environmental factors. The exact causes are not yet fully understood. There are different forms of alopecia areata. Doro from our film has the most severe form of the disease: alopecia areata universalis. This means that the hair loss affects all body hair, including eyelashes and eyebrows. Three years ago, she discovered a bald patch on her head, and within a few months, she had lost all her hair. The disease can also be very emotionally distressing.
