A few keys to wearing wigs confidently are:
- The density is natural for your ethnicity and features. A wig that has too much or too little hair will often times look unrealistic.
The color is similar to your bio hair color or a color that compliments your skin tone.
The fit of a wig is important. The wig should not move around and should be placed correctly on your head. The hairline should sit at a comfortable 3-4 finger depth from your eyebrows.
Modifications may be necessary to make a wig your own. This could include thinning, trimming, adding layers or bangs.
SCALP CARE DURING CHEMOTHERAPY
Made in Quebec City
This care kit has been developed with the well-being in mind of those who have lost their hair following chemotherapy or cranial radiotherapy treatment.
Hydrate your scalp and nourish your follicles to promote healthy regrowth.
Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy
Often required for the treatment of cancer, chemotherapy and cranial radiotherapy reduce or stop cell activity in the lumpy follicles and sebaceous glands. The hair falls a few days after the start of treatment. The scalp can become sensitive, irritated and dehydrated during treatments. When treatment is complete, the hair repels. The capillary cycle is restarting, but the hair still weakened is therefore more likely to be damaged by treatments such as colouring, and certain hair products.
The importance of hair loss and how fast they grow back varies from person to person. Every treatment and every patient is different.
