Have you recently been diagnosed with cancer, or do you know someone who has? Have you been discussing how to deal with upcoming radiation and/or chemotherapy treatments? Although dealing with a cancer diagnosis is never easy, there are some things that can make things easier on the patient. While there are a number of things that you need to do or to prepare for, one thing to consider is how hair loss will be handled if it occurs. While a hat or a scarf could be worn, you may also want to consider purchasing a wig. Wigs have a number of possible advantages, including the following:

Comfort 

Your own natural hair is typically the most comfortable head covering you can wear, but good chemo wigs can certainly come pretty close. Unlike hats or scarves that are designed with a full head of hair in mind, good wigs are made from materials chosen so as to avoid irritating the potentially sensitive scalp of someone who is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Instead of possibly having to deal with wearing an itchy hat all day long, you could be wearing a wig that you hardly even notice is actually there. This comfort will allow you to focus on other things rather than constantly having to adjust your hat or scarf.

Protection 

A full head of hair obviously can't protect you from something like a bicycle crash, but its help in protecting you from the harsh rays of the sun is often overlooked until it's gone. Going out for even brief periods without something to cover your scalp could result in painful sunburns. When you're already dealing with chemotherapy, you don't want to also have to deal with regular sunburns on top of that. Good chemo wigs provide at least as much protection as your natural hair, perhaps more. You'll be able to go to work or to run errands without worrying about dealing with the effects of an unprotected head.

Aesthetics 

Aesthetics are at least as important as other aspects of chemo wigs, perhaps even more so. The old saying that "laughter is the best medicine" is true in as much as having a positive outlook on life can go a long way towards a full recovery, as your doctors will probably tell you. Part of having a good positive outlook on life is being able to keep up appearances. A good wig that looks like your natural hair can go a long way towards helping you keep your self-esteem and positive attitude towards treatment.
