She made the decision three years ago after dyeing it because she knew the cost of wigs was high and that many families couldn’t afford the bills, let alone the wig. With Angel Hair for Kids the wigs are given to the families at a low to no cost rate. Warwick was very happy to contribute her hair to the cause.
