Wigs for Cancer Patients

Your guide to managing hair loss during chemotherapy, and choosing the right alternative hair option for your needs.

​
Facing the reality of hair loss due to chemotherapy can be traumatic and stressful. An alternative hair option, such as wigs, or toppers, can have a positive impact on meeting the daily challenges of cancer treatment. Serving women and children for 10 years, Angels of Las Vegas has specialized in alternative hair options since 2010. 

When suffering from cancer and undergoing therapy, a wig is a practical way to cope with the upsetting reality of hair loss, a side effect of chemotherapy. Human hair wig allow them to feel more like themselves, giving them more control over how they look. The initial hair loss stage may feel devastating, however a real human hair wig offers versatility, naturalness and the hope you need during a difficult period. 

What Are the Best Wigs for Cancer Patients?

When undergoing chemotherapy your scalp can become quite dry and sensitive; natural human hair wigs offer ultimate flexibility, sitting comfortably on sensitive scalps. Human hair wigs are often the best wig option for cancer patients as they can be customized and styled to suit individual preferences. They also guarantee a stunning natural look which makes it hard to tell the difference.

Choosing the Right Human Hair Wig Construction for You

Choosing the right human hair wig for you comes down to style and color preferences but also for full maximum comfort you’ll want to choose the right wig cap construction that best suits your head shape. Wig cap options include hand tied wigs, lace front wigs, wefted wigs and monofilament wigs. 
A wig cap is the base material of a wig and mimics the shape of the head    some of which will suit your needs better than others. For example lace front wigs are perfect for cancer patients wanting to achieve the most natural look possible as they perfectly mimic natural hair growth at the front hairline. Equally, monofilament wigs are great as they offer the most naturalness, comfort and versatility all at once. Wefted wigs are the most basic wig cap construction however another popular option for cancer patients as they allow for the wig to be lightweight, breathable as well as affordable. On the other hand, hand-tied wigs have no seams or wefts making them comfortable and lightweight, sitting incredibly softly against a sensitive scalp.

Thanks for mentioning that it is possible for us to purchase natural wigs for cancer patients. My daughter is diagnosed with cancer and chemotherapy has made her loose some hair. I will look for natural wigs for her to wear to help boost her confidence.

Thank you for mentioning that, as they can be tailored and groomed to meet individual preferences, human hair wigs are frequently the best wig option for cancer sufferers. For her wedding, my sister wants to have fashionable hair, but she has little of it. I'll advise her to buy custom-made lace wigs produced to her specifications for the wedding.
