Hair Extensions for Cancer Survivors

We’re a little ways into October now, which means that most of us are whipping out our funky-colored hair extensions in preparation for Halloween festivities. But whether you’re hosting a salon costume party, offering a special installation discount, or just enjoying the season, be sure to pay homage to another October staple, too—Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
