What are the different types/costs of wigs?
Wigs can vary in cost ranging anywhere from $10 to thousands of dollars. Wigs made of human hair are typically more expensive. The higher the quality of the wig (i.e. human hair), the higher the cost. Wigs can be synthetic or human hair and come in all different lengths, styles and colors.

Will the financial assistance received cover the entire cost of the wig?
