As a cancer warrior, you stand at a crossroads after chemotherapy, with the decision to wear a wig entirely in your hands.

If you’re leaning towards wearing hair loss wigs, rest assured we’re here to support you throughout the journey. Wigs for cancer patients are transformative allies, reigniting your radiant stride.

With this blog as your guide, wearing pre-styled wigs for cancer patients post-chemo will become second nature, and your inner radiance will illuminate the world around you.

Preparing Your Scalp For Wigs For Cancer Patients

Preparing your sensitive scalp post-cancer chemotherapy for wigs is a journey of self-care and empowerment.

Once you’re ready to embrace wigs for cancer patients, follow these easy steps:

• Gentle Cleansing: Treat your scalp with utmost gentleness. Use a mild, water-based shampoo and lukewarm water to cleanse it, respecting your scalp skin’s sensitivity.
• Moisturize: Nurture your scalp with a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizer for sensitive or post-treatment skin to combat dryness with care.
• Wig Grip: Enhance your comfort and wig protection by utilizing soft wig liners like Bamboo Wig Liner with silicone grips. Crafted from sustainable soft bamboo fabric, it keeps your scalp cool, extends your wig’s lifespan, and reduces friction and movement.

Remember, your post-treatment journey is unique. Embrace patience and self-kindness during this process. Proper scalp care provides the most realistic wig finish without sacrificing your comfort.

Choosing The Right Wig Size For Cancer Patients

Wigs for cancer patients come in different sizes, so finding the perfect wig size for cancer patients is important for comfort and a realistic finish. You can use a fabric measurement tape and a mirror for this step.

Here are the steps to measure your head for a precise wig size:

Measure Around Head:

• Start at the front of your head.
• Follow your pre-chemo hairline above your ear.
• Continue around the back of your head to the bend in your neck and around to the other ear.
• Finally, trace back up to the front of your head.

Measure Front to Back:

• Start at your natural hairline (pre-chemo) in the front.
• Move over the crown of your head.
• Continue to the point where the back of your head meets the top of your neck.

Measure Ear to Ear:

• Begin at the front of one ear where your hairline ends.
• Measure from this point and go up over the crown of your head.
• Continue the measurement until you reach the front of your other ear.

This will give you the measurement from ear to ear across the top of your head.

Pro Tip: There are Velcro® tabs inside the wig that help adjust the wig’s fit. You can make it up to 1’’ larger or smaller to achieve the perfect fit.

Consult our wig size chart, comparing your measurements to find the perfect fit. With these easy steps, you’ll confidently discover a secure and comfortable wig size, allowing you to look your best. Your unique journey deserves nothing less!
