Wigs Can Boost Cancer Patients’ Self Esteem

We recently stumbled on an article about how wigs can boost the self esteem of a cancer patient. All cancer patients’ experiences are unique & they cope in different ways. Some patients lose their hair and go on with their every day lives. However, other patients may lose their hair & feel like their self confidence went with it.

Melanie Winderlich in her article called Wigs Can Help Boost A Cancer Patient’s Self-Esteem After Losing Hair During Treatment says,

“Wearing a wig, or hair prosthesis, may help you feel like your old self again. Wigs for cancer patients can offer a sense of empowerment during a very scary, uncontrollable time.”

Winderlich also gives 4 buying tips if you are looking for a wig.

1. Start Early – Try matching your wig to your natural hair color
2. Ask An Expert – The Wig Shak specializes in wigs for cancer patients
3. Check Your Insurance – Wigs are a tax deductible medical expense
4. Seek Support – Knowing that you are not alone in your journey is half the battle.
