Chemotheraphy - Wigs and hair replacement options for chemotherapy wearers
With a little care and time spent on selecting the right wig, it can be customised to look like your current style or you may opt for a complete new look and embrace the opportunity to have a whole new image. There is quite a lot of information about this subject so we have broken it down into different categories best suited for chemotherapy wearers.
When dealing with hair loss as a side effect to chemotherapy we always plan for the hair to grow back – as this really is normally the case. It’s true to say that your new hair may be a different texture and colour but expecting it to grow back is the right way to plan.
This means that when choosing a wig, you will need, “A temporary” wig option (6 months to a year). In other words this is something that you are not going to wear long term. I know that this may not seem temporary to you as 6 months can feel like a long time. But it’s good to know this as it may define the type of wig you buy. For example some wigs are for long term wearers and are either very expensive or require complete baldness to be glued to (thus not suited to you). As we take you through the many options you will see that there really are some fantastic choices of wigs and something to suit everyone.
Take some time to browse through these subjects below and hopefully you will feel more informed about wigs and in a good place to make your choice.
