Why Hair Replacement & Medical Wigs?

For people who have lost their hair, whether temporarily due to chemotherapy or permanently due to a medical condition, wigs are one of the most popular and accessible options. Choosing a wig requires no surgery and is a much smaller investment compared to other hair replacement methods.

What Are Medical Wigs?

Medical wigs are designed with features that provide:

Secure fit – stays comfortably in place with non-slip grips or silicone lining.

Added comfort – soft, cushioned interiors for sensitive scalps.

Natural appearance – hand-crafted construction that mimics real hair growth.

These wigs are suitable for clients experiencing hair loss due to Alopecia, Chemotherapy, or other medical treatments.

Wigs & Chemotherapy
Patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation often face sudden hair loss, which can feel overwhelming. Hair typically begins to shed about 2 weeks after the first treatment. That’s why we recommend being fitted for a wig before treatments begin, while your natural hair is still intact. This allows us to match color and style more easily and ensures you’ll feel confident and prepared.

A well-fitted wig can:

  • Help maintain your confidence during treatment.
  • Reduce stress when hair begins to fall out.
  • Provide comfort and normalcy during a challenging time.

Tip: Ask your doctor for a prescription for a hair prosthesis — many insurance companies cover medical wigs.

Hair Tips for Cancer Patients

Prepare early: Get fitted for your wig before treatment starts.

Consider cutting or shaving your hair: Shortening hair before it falls out can make the transition easier emotionally.

Choose quality: A well-fitted wig that matches your natural look can ease the shock of hair loss and help you feel like yourself.

Alopecia & Other Causes of Hair Loss

Alopecia — or hair loss — can be caused by genetics, hormones, age, certain medical conditions, or even hairstyling practices like tight braids and chemical relaxers. Treatments such as medication or hair transplants are available, but many patients choose wigs as a simple, effective, and natural-looking solution.

At Hair and Wigs Inc., we help clients with all forms of hair loss find high-quality wigs that restore confidence and comfort in everyday life.
