As you gear up for the battle against cancer, your mind probably thinks about a number of things and buying a cancer wig holds a priority there. A wig is a convenient means to maintain one’s self-confidence, even when the hair shedding is so fast during the chemotherapy sessions. So, getting a wig ahead of time is a no-brainer because, as a cancer treatment, you might have to deal with several after-effects, which include weakness. Here, in this post, we will help you buy the right cancer wig that compliments your looks.

Visit A Salon

First, locate a local salon that has some level of expertise in dealing with cancer patients. These professional salons have experienced guys who helped many cancer patients combat their hair-shedding process during chemotherapy sessions. You would not be able to overlook the advice of someone who is dealing with cancer people now and then.

Ask them to measure the head to let you narrow down on the wig size. It would be best if you ask them to let you try a few cancer wigs, and if you have a friend along then request him/her to take some photographs. These pics will aid your search for the best cancer wig that seamlessly blends with your overall personality. 

Typically, go with a lighter shade wig than your natural one, since the chemotherapy procedure significantly cut down on the red blood cells in the body, and hair appeals naturally with regards to your condition. 

You can either go with your favourite hairstyle or you can try a look that you have always dreamt of.

Make The Wig Purchase

Talk to your health insurance company and inquire about their cancer wigs policy. Ideally, it is best if you purchase the chemotherapy wig at least two weeks before the chemo date. Generally, hair loss begins two weeks post the first infusion. Well, the hair shedding process is not overnight; it is gradual, it’s normal like human hair loss, but a little faster, but early preparation will allow you to make a smooth transition. 

In this age of the Internet, you can effortlessly surf the World Wide Web for the chemo wig if you are fully aware of your head size, type of chemo wig and, most importantly, narrowed down on one style. However, it still would be best if you visit a local salon as then you can see and feel the product and check how it will look on your head.

Lastly, if you have purchased a wig that is not perfect, then don’t worry; take it to a local stylist. He/she will trim, thin and style to adjust the wig as per your personal style.
