DO I NEED A PRESCRIPTION FOR MY CRANIAL PROSETHESIS?Absolutely! Insurance companies typically mandate that you furnish them with a prescription for a "cranial prosthesis" from a licensed physician. Should you not possess one, we will collaborate with you and your doctor to secure a valid prescription for your Wig/Cranial Prosthesis. If you already hold a prescription, kindly forward it to us via email at glhfoundation57@gmail.com. Upon receipt of your prescription, we will conduct a thorough review to confirm its alignment with the criteria set forth by your insurance provider.

WHAT ARE LACE FRONT WIGS?The lace front feature achieves the illusion of a naturally seamless hairline. Each strand of hair is meticulously hand-tied to a specific area of sheer lace, although not encompassing the entire cap. This lace front design enables the flexibility of styling the hair away from the face. The majority of these designs are prepped and ready for wear, extending from temple to temple. It's important to note that the lace is crafted from delicate materials and should be treated with gentle care.
