Coping With Chemotherapy
|
| Our recommended online resource for wigs, turbans and accessories. |
Because treatment focuses on fast growing cancer cells, other fast growing cells are also effected, such as hair cells.
Within a few weeks after beginning treatment hair loss may begin resulting in total hair loss in many cases. It may take from six to twelve months for total regrowth to be achieved.
Wearing a wig during this period is a common option, as well as comfortable hats and turbans. Choosing a wig before hair loss occurs is recommended to match your existing color and style.
Hospitals and clinics have referred literally thousands of patients to our parent corporation’s retail stores for decades because of our expertise in this field.
Along with providing wigs and hairpieces, we are also the manufacture of the worlds only therapeutic wig band designed specifically to secure and make wearing your wig, hat, or turban comfortable during total hair loss without the use of adhesives or tape.
The comfy grip therapeutic wig band has helped thousands of patients with chemotherapy side effects find wearing their wig less stressful.
Since our parent corp. is the manufacture, we are able to offer it here at a special low price to our visitors.

Many doctors and nurses often tell their patients to be sure to ask for our zinc and tea tree oil lotion as well. The scalp can become extremely sensitive during hair loss and during the regrowth period.
Dry patches and irritated skin are common especially on the hands and fingertips. Using our lotion on the scalp and other effected areas provides substantial relief.

As regrowth begins, hair is usually very light and feathery. Don’t be alarmed, total regrowth is normally achieved by the majority of patients.
Using a mild shampoo during this period is highly recommended which restores PH balance to create a healthy environment for your new regrowth. Our tea tree and peppermint shampoo is specifically designed to do just that.
