If you are undergoing chemotherapy, then you likely have many things on your mind, including your health and taking care of your family. The last thing you need to worry about is hair loss. Here are some tips for choosing a wig to wear during your treatments to take the burden of hair loss away:

Color

You may want to choose a color that is exactly the same color as your hair was before you started chemotherapy, or you may want to change things up a bit. Either way, make sure the color of your wig compliments the color of your eyes and highlights your skin tone to get the most natural look possible while hiding your hair loss.

Length

Once you begin to experience hair loss, you can choose a wig that is the same length as your hair was before it started to fall out. Or, just as with the color, you can get a little creative with your length—you could go for very long locks or a super short pixie to change up your look. You can make the most of this time by using the experience to experiment and be daring with your wig choices.

Comfort

It is essential that you find a wig that is comfortable. You don't want it to itch, be too hot or too tight, or to slip when you move—those are sure signs that your wig isn't a good fit. A comfortable wig is one that you can wear without anyone knowing you've experienced the hair loss associated with chemotherapy.  

Material

You'll need to decide if you want a synthetic wig or a natural hair wig. There are advantages and disadvantages to each kind of wig, so you'll need to do your homework to decide which type is right for you.
