Cancer is a very daunting diagnosis for many reasons and is an extremely upsetting, stressful and vulnerable situation to face. Not only is the prospect of being poorly and feeling unwell many sufferers struggle with the physical side effects of cancer treatments. One of which is hair loss. Hair loss often occurs when undergoing chemotherapy, radiation and other cancer treatments. Hair loss can start around 204 weeks from treatment commencing and for many can have a huge impact on self esteem, confidence and well being.
We understand this at Baguleys and we have been working with cancer patients for decades finding solutions to help ensure that you keep your identity as much as possible throughout this difficult period.
When you do start to lose your hair we would always recommend using the most gentle products on your hair and scalp as this will help to minimise any soreness you may have. This can include fragrance free and sensitive hair shampoo including baby shampoo.
Many of our clients come to us for advice on cancer hair loss and each person is different so our advice for cancer hair loss solutions will always be tailored to you as an individual.
Some patients do not lose all of their hair however it can become thin, patchy and limp. In these cases patients often look to use for hair toppers, These are worn as and when required to give a full bodied natural look to regain that confidence. Our hair toppers are tailor made and bespoke and will match your natural hair to perfection so nobody would ever realise you are wearing one. They are human hair and can be washed and styled just as you do your own hair and they are lightweight and comfortable. Many of our cancer patients using a hair topper forget they are even wearing one.
The other solution available is one of our human hair wigs. This is a full wig bespoke design specifically for you. We use mesh that its gentle and comfortable for your scalp so you will be able to rest assured you will not be uncomfortable in one of our wigs. Many of our cancer patients opt for a similar style to their natural hair so that it helps retain identity. Others however choose a different style all together as it allows experimental hair which can often be a confidence boost.
