Wig Tips And Styles For Cancer Patients

Hi, my name is Laurie. I am the stylist and the salon at Cancer Treatment, Centers of America, and I'm here today to tell you about our wigs. We'Ve done a lot of research into what works best for cancer patients, and we've come up with a good line or two that is very lightweight and easy to maintain. They are all synthetic with different types of caps. This cap, as you can see, has a very light interior. It'S also got a lace front which is excellent for off the face. Styling and, as you can see, it's very airy they're also very simple. To maintain you can just pop it out of the box straight on run your fingers through it. While I, you have a cute little style, they're easy to Center. Some of our wigs can even be put into a ponytail like this one. This one is also heat resistant. You can put anything under 350 degrees on it to make a curl or, to put it back straight, just remember, to follow your manufacturer's directions and know that the physical bonds and natural hair changes with water and heat, but in the synthetic hair it only changes with Heat, so when you change those bonds that style becomes permanent until you change it with heat again, we also offer some higher quality synthetic wigs that look and feel very natural because they are hand-knotted cap with a lining. This is excellent for people with sensitive scalp, which is very often with chemotherapy patients. As you can see, this wig looks and feels very natural and at the scalp it looks like natural growth. It'S also got the lace front again for off the face. Styling, these wigs are easy to clean. You just follow the directions, but most of them you just lather, once rinse, really well spray in the leaving conditioner, and we recommend putting them on a easy stand. That also lets air flow through just pop it on there and let it air dry do recommend that you use cool water when cleaning your wigs, because you don't want to change those physical bonds again, this heat and it's storage either keep it on your stand or Turn it inside out and smooth the hair down and put it back in the box that it came in. We have over here another wig or it's a piece. Actually that is great for the summertime or, if you just don't want to wear a whole wig. It'S called a halo. It will attach directly to any cap and detach for cleaning. You can just pop it on and run to the mailbox or walk your dog or whatever. What I've noticed with most of my cancer patients is that it's not about vanity of having a wig on it's about feeling more comfortable in their own skin. You, you
