Wearing wigs for cancer patients after chemo: 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, and 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!

Mastering the art of wearing a wig like a pro is simple with these three easy steps. Begin by gently shaking your pre-styled wig to awaken the fibers. Next, tilt your head forward and place the front of the wig at your hairline to ensure a seamless and natural fit. Finally, slide the wig back over your head, securing it snugly and comfortably on your scalp by aligning and adjusting the wig using the ear tabs. And there you have it – your stunning new look is ready to be shown off!


Our pre-styled wigs are designed for cancer patients, providing a comfortable and stylish solution to hair loss. These wigs are not only natural-looking but also always on-trend.


When it comes to choosing wig fibers for cancer patients, comfort is paramount. Options range from 100% human hair for authenticity to easy-care Kanekalon synthetic fiber, heat-friendly VersaFiber, and lightweight WhisperLite wig fibers. Kanekalon synthetic fiber retains its style even after washing, while VersaFiber offers the best of both worlds with heat-styling capabilities up to 350˚F. For those seeking lightweight options, WhisperLite wigs, such as the Amazing WhisperLite Monofilament Wig by Heart of Gold, are an excellent choice. These wigs feature fibers that are half the width of traditional ones, providing both style and comfort for sensitive scalps.


Moreover, all WhisperLite wigs in our Heart of Gold collection come with a monofilament top for a natural appearance at the parting. These wigs are specifically designed by medical professionals for women facing medical hair loss and include a lightweight, non-allergenic SOFTouch gel lining. This innovative lining reduces irritation and adjusts to your body temperature for maximum comfort, supporting you on your empowering journey.

They are also one of the most popular and affordable options on the market. A standout example is the Sensational Wig by Paula Young, crafted from easy-care synthetic fiber that maintains its fullness and shape throughout the day.
