LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER -1,000 workshops in 2016.

The Individual Wig is an active, long-time supporter of Look Good Feel Better, a program for people in cancer treatment.

The program provides valuable advice on how to deal with appearance-related side-effects that may be caused by cancer treatment, such as hair loss.

Established in 1990, Look Good Feel Better is a free community program made available through the support of the cosmetic, hairdressing and toiletry industries.

Since its launch, Look Good Feel Better has helped more than 50,000 women and, as an active supporter of the program, The Individual Wig is one of the volunteer groups that visit hospitals to speak with women receiving cancer treatment.

Regular two and a half hour workshops are held in a relaxed and friendly environment in all states and territories.

Experienced wig and cosmetic experts, who volunteer their time, provide participants with useful information and tips tailored to help cope with the appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment.

Women are also shown practical and creative ways to help deal with impending hair loss with the opportunity to try on wigs, headscarves and turbans.

As well as practical make-up and skincare tips, women receive complimentary products donated by the cosmetic industry to take home.

The workshops are more than how to apply make-up: They are designed to empower women and boost your self-esteem while undergoing treatment.

We strongly believe the program has a positive impact on a woman’s confidence and well-being at a very emotional and challenging time in her life.
