Thoughts about Wigs for Cancer Patients
Unless you have a friend or family member that has had chemotherapy
, it is rare that you have ever given much thought to wigs for cancer patients. Perhaps you shop at a boutique or jewelry store and have encountered the same sales person a few times, then you also may have encountered her wearing a new wig. If you feel comfortable with her you may ask her about her new hair do. She might reply that she had chemotherapy and it is a wig. But other than those occurrences, it is not a topic you think about.
Wigs for cancer patients are a big business. These wigs are made slightly different than the wig you might see at the hair dresser or beauty sales shop.
Another reason you may think about wigs for cancer patients is if you might be diagnosed with a form of cancer and may be looking to have chemotherapy yourself. So maybe it is time to give some thought to the subject of wigs for cancer patients.
It seems that a lot of women really love their hair. They seem to think it is defines them or makes them look pretty. Or that phrase Oh you have such healthy hair' makes them think lots of healthy hair means a healthy body. If this is the case the thought of actually shedding all of their hair, yes perhaps including eyebrow, underarm and facial hair to name a few, is scary. Of course this doesn't happen to everybody in the same way nor does it happen the same way with all cancer treatment chemotherapy. It depends on the type of drugs used in the treatment.
The main thing to remember when you are with your friend or family member who is losing their hair is to keep cheerful and positive. It helps no one to also be depressed. If you are depressed then perhaps you should wait until another day to visit. The same is true if you are facing chemotherapy. Keep a positive attitude. Think positively.
If a person is looking at getting a wig to cover their hair loss from chemotherapy, they do have a few choices. Wigs come in natural hair, synthetic hair and a combination of both. Going even further, natural hair generally comes from three types of people, Asian which is the least expensive and the thickest. The second is Indonesian which is considered a mid-grade hair and has somewhat finer strands. The third natural hair is European hair which is the finest and can be very expensive.
The next choice is a synthetic wig. These dry faster, are easier to maintain and are less expensive. The last choice is a combination of natural and synthetic.
Not that these choices will detract from the thought of losing one's hair, but they do give the person something to think about when actually losing their hair. Losing the hair is not as bad as it seems because it does grow back in three to ten months.
