Wattz International - Chemotherapy Hair Loss
As if having cancer is not bad enough, you then have to suffer all the consequences
and side effects that chemotherapy leaves you with. Including hair loss.
To those who love us this is a small price to pay for our health. However for some
it is the final straw that breaks the camels back. In stead of the relief that the
cancer is gone, you are constantly reminded of your illness each time you take a look
in the mirror.
It is true what they say if you look good it helps you to feel better, so if your
reflection is pleasing this may be helpful to aid a quicker recovery.
Before your chemotherapy treatment begins it is helpful to make an appointment to
choose a wig or hair prosthesis. (please see section on wigs).
It is also a good idea, if you have already started to lose your hair, to take a
photograph of yourself (pre cancer), with you. As you will see from the wig section
there is a vast selection available to you, depending on your requirements and the
amount you wish to spend. Whichever you choose a wig or real hair prosthesis is the
best option for your sensitive skin pre, during and shortly following chemotherapy.
You have now seen the photographs and read the testimonies of Stephanie, Kerry and Anneka. Please note these lovely girls have all suffered
cancer and been treated with chemotherapy. They are not wearing wigs but a temporary
type of hair replacement which is completely safe to the scalp and 100% does not
hinder or inhibit the natural safe growth of their hair.
There is no guarantee of the longevity of this added hair however it can be between
4 and up to 14 weeks depending on your natural hair growth. Many clients may have this
hair fitted two or three times before their own hair is a reasonable length to style.
The advantage of this type of added hair is that it is not a wig which you remove
at night, or worry about falling off or wearing on holiday, It remains on until it’s
time to be removed which becomes evident with wear, as discussed between 4-14 weeks.
