For those who have lost their hair for a short period due to chemotherapy or permanently due to a medical issue, hair wigs are among the most sought-after choices. Choosing a wig as a replacement for your hair is not a procedure and is a low cost of investment when compared to other alternatives.

Hair and Wigs Inc is available to assist. Contact us directly, and we’ll schedule a time for you to meet for a one-on-one consultation. We will discuss the options that are available to you.

Medical wigs feature unique characteristics like the ability to fit securely, convenience, and a natural look. Today, with the proliferation of wigs, it is possible for the entire wig to be entirely hand-crafted or only partially hand-crafted. Hand-crafted wigs that are partly hand-crafted can create the illusion that hair grows out of the scalp. A new non-slip grips technique utilizes a silicone-based non-slip material to stop the wig from sliding off the head. For sensitive scalps, these wigs come with a soft cushioned material and are suitable for Alopecia, Chemotherapy, or other medical treatment patients.

Imagine a person, for the first time to the beauty supply store trying to choose what hair product to buy? This could be extremely difficult when the person selling the hair doesn’t have any experience with the hair. The point is that many times, people selling human hair don’t know anything about the hair product. I get calls from customers regarding different human hair brands, and some will say this particular brand of hair is superior to another hair brand. I often recount my experience when I was in Indonesia and took three hours on a train through the countryside to visit the giant hair factories around the globe. It was my surprise that the company was packing human hair for several different hair manufacturers in North America. In one corner was this well-known brand, and in the opposite corner was a different hair brand being packaged to export it North; however, each business claimed that their hair was superior to the other. In the case of human hair, the most important thing to consider is: is it in the first or second grades?. It is first grade Remy, or Virgin Remy, while the second grade is not Remy. I don’t think about the various types of hair. However, I discover the method once I determine if it’s a second or first grade. Beware the buyer.

Wigs and Chemotherapy

Patients receiving chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer undergo various physical changes, such as hair loss.

Certain cancer drugs intended to treat cancers with aggressive characteristics cause hair loss to the extent that it is total. Certain medications can cause hair loss.

The hair usually begins growing within a few weeks of the last procedure, but many patients prefer wearing hair extensions as treatment continues.

Losing hair can be painful hair loss, and a wig may increase confidence and keep you up during a stressful time.

Anyone considering chemotherapy should talk to their doctor for the prescription for what’s known as”a “hair prosthesis.” Many insurance companies will pay the cost of a wig to treat medical reasons. Patients who are undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy shed their hair very quickly. Fourteen days after the first treatment, your hair will likely be shaved off. It’s why it’s essential to find a wig before starting the treatment. You can locate a wig that is precisely the color of your hair and bring it to a hairdresser to get it styled even if it isn’t in good condition.

Additionally, chemotherapy can be physically demanding for the majority of people. Once you’ve had your treatment, getting out to shop for hair wigs may be the last thing you feel like doing. A wig purchase before the first treatment is an excellent and proactive move. Losing your hair can be stressful, and a stunning hair wig at hand can help lessen the stress of the loss. I am a firm believer in the strength of positivity, and having confidence about how you appear can be a big help in helping you stay healthy during a time when you’ll require all the strength you can muster.

How to style your hair for cancer patients

After discussing the importance of acquiring an appropriate wig before beginning treatments, I’d like to provide more information about how cancer patients can ease the stress of hair loss. First, purchase an appropriately fit and quality hair wig. In my opinion, it is recommended that patients remove their hair, whether shaving it off or cutting it shorter before the first procedure. The loss of hair could be extremely stressful and make people panic. If you have missed your hair very short or have already been shaving, you will save yourself the stress of this. The focus of having your hair falling out and wearing a wig that looks and feels like your hair can go a long way in keeping you happy and confident.

Alopecia

Alopecia is the loss of hair on the body or head. Alopecia may occur due to the aging process, genetics, hormone levels, or certain hair-styling practices like tight ponytails, braids, and excessive use of hair relaxers and hot irons for hair. Sometimes Alopecia can be a sign of a medical condition like iron deficiency.

Drugs are available to treat Alopecia and surgical options, such as Follicle transplants. A natural, high-quality, and attractive hair wig can be utilized as a complement to the treatments or instead of these treatments. Patients with Alopecia typically find a wig a practical and straightforward method to treat hair loss.
