Plan around your hair.
Enter your treatment dates, or choose alopecia or thinning, and Hairloom lays out when to keep your passport, choose a wig, expect changes and look for regrowth. Add a skin check-in once a cycle if it helps.
Plan
Your dates
General timings from cancer charities. Your care team knows your regimen; ask them what to expect.
Skin check-in
Skin check-ins, once a cycle.
Treatment can leave skin drier or more sensitive. A selfie each treatment cycle gives you YouCam’s scores for moisture, redness, texture and radiance, so you can show your care team what changed rather than describe it. It is not a diagnosis; anything that worries you is a question for them.
We crop to your face on this device first, because skin analysis needs the face to fill the frame. Photos and scores stay in this browser.
Example: Anjali's check-ins before treatment and at week 4 (demo person, real YouCam output). Yours replace these. Scores are YouCam’s raw 1–100 scores, and higher is better for every concern.
These are cosmetic scores read from a photo, not a medical assessment. Light, camera and make-up change them; ask your care team about anything that worries you.
Paying for a wig
Ask before you buy.
India
Some hospitals and charities give free wigs made from donated hair, such as the Tata Memorial Centre with the Cherian Foundation, and Cope with Cancer in Mumbai. Ask your oncology team or social worker.
UK
Wigs are free on the NHS in Scotland and Wales. In England an NHS stock synthetic wig costs £80.15 unless you qualify for free prescriptions.

Original Medicare doesn’t cover wigs. Some private plans do with a doctor’s prescription for a “cranial prosthesis”; your passport’s photos and head size can go with the claim.

Hairloom is for adults. Children’s hair loss needs a paediatric team and specialist wig charities, who fit wigs for growing heads.
