Hair loss in women is becoming ever more frequent. Environment, diet, stress, chemical processes or general health may all affect the health of hair and scalp. There are several types of hair loss in women, temporary or permanent. The origin may be hereditary, hormonal or directly linked to a health issue, a medication or even surgery. Quick and correct identification of the cause of hair loss is the best way to avoid wasting time and money on ill-suited treatments. The key to slowing down hair loss is to take appropriate action as soon as possible. There is no miracle cure, but there are solutions that may help to balance your hair cycle and restore the health of hair and scalp.
CHEMOTHERAPY & CRANIAL RADIOTHERAPY
Often a necessity in cancer treatments, chemotherapy and cranial radiotherapy reduce or stop cellular activity at the follicular level and in sebaceous glands. Hair will fall within days of starting the treatment. The scalp may become sensitive, irritated and dry during treatments. When these are over, hair will regrow. The hair cycle will start again, but the hair is still fragile and more at risk of being damaged by processes such as dyeing, perms and some hair care products. The amount of hair loss and the rate of regrowth are different for each individual. Every patient and cancer therapy treatment will vary.
You have enough things on your mind. Your hair loss shouldn’t be one of them.
Medical hair loss is caused by medical treatments such as chemotherapy and medical conditions such as alopecia. In most cases of chemotherapy treatments, hair loss is a temporary condition that will be reversed once treatments stop. However, it remains very disheartening to the woman who experiences hair loss. These women seek effective solutions to maintain their self‑confidence, self-esteem and image.

A wig is not just a wig!
A wig is not just a wig when it comes to any woman dealing with medical hair loss. It is not being worn for reasons of fashion and fun, like many of the varieties seen in wig shops. We understand that this is not done on a whim and certainly not something that you plan to wear for only a few hours while out on the town.
For women with medical hair loss, a wig serves as the perfect solution to replace your hair as authentically as possible as well as to restore your self-confidence. You should feel comfortable about wearing a wig. It should look and fit well enough, so that you will hardly notice it. Not only should you feel good about wearing your wig, you will always want to look your best. That is why there are so many important considerations that you should take into account when selecting a suitable professional wig, including fit, comfortability, fashion and your total image.
Fit and feel.
The fit of your wig will always be vitally important, for reasons of comfort and security. That is why custom fitting your wig by a certified “Recover with Confidence” professional will produce your most desirable results.
The cap of the wig is in direct contact with your scalp and must precisely conform to your scalp to ensure a snug fit. This will prevent the wig from potentially shifting on your head throughout your busy day. This will also make it secure for you and your lifestyle, to fashionably wear it in most any circumstance.
The feel of your wig will also be critically important. Hair loss, as a result of chemotherapy, other medical treatments and conditions may leave your scalp quite tender and sensitive. As your hair begins to grow back, the scalp can also become itchy. Therefore, it is advisable to select a wig that is created from only the most soft, silky, natural looking and lightweight materials. This is why it is so important for us to offer wigs to our medical hair loss patients that will conform to these important specifications.
Appearance.
In our experience, most women want to keep their hair loss their secret and a very private matter. If that’s the case, you will want to select a hairstyle and haircolor shade that will closely match your hair the way it looked before you began your treatments. This way, we will help by having your wig ready for you when you need it.
With privacy in mind, it will be very helpful to bring recent photographs of yourself when selecting your hair replacement. You may want to cut off a small lock of your own hair before you lose it so your hair replacement specialist will be able to precisely match your haircolor and texture. Your certified specialist can also do this for you prior to your treatments.
Two of the most important factors about wearing a wig are feeling comfortable in it and feeling comfortable about it. The more closely your wig matches your natural hair, the more comfortable and confident you will feel about yourself. Your Recover with Confidence specialist will be able to help you carefully select the best options and solutions that will match your personal needs, lifestyle and image.
Regarding choice.
You will have many choices when it comes to selecting a wig, including the choice of not wearing a wig at all, while also possibly using a scarf or a hat to fashionably cover your hair loss.
We are here to professionally and personally help you recover with confidence by discussing all of the many options! We know that it is all about our desire to help you and to understand what solution will be most comfortable for you. You may desire to fashionably switch between scarves, hats and wigs whenever you feel it is appropriate to do so.
In many situations, scarves and hats are not appropriate. We put a strong emphasis on the option of a custom fitted, natural looking wig, because it is desirable for most women.
