Holding On: Hair Health Through Cancer – Myths, Realities & Options
Your hair is more than strands—it’s a part of your identity. At any point in your cancer journey, it’s normal to feel uncertain about what to expect.

Join International Trainer and Paramedical Tattoo artist Jayd Hernandez for a behind the scenes look at her creative process in ariola restoration and scar camouflage.
“I’ve got one mission, to set women free. Free to feel sexy, strong, and unapologetically in charge of their bodies, their futures- their everything. Every day, I get to do something sacred. I take trauma and turn it into art. I take ink and turn it into confidence. Whether I’m crafting hyper realistic 3-D Ariola’s for breast cancer survivors or making scars nearly invisible, this work isn’t just about beauty -- it’s about feeling in control again.” - Jayd
