Chemo Wigs for Patients with Hair Loss.

Transitions of Wisconsin helps men and women experiencing medically-related hair loss as a result of chemotherapy, thyroid, or other medical disorders and treatments.

Chemotherapy, and other cancer treatments such as radiation, works because they kill rapidly dividing cells. Because hair grows relatively fast, these cells are attacked and the hair growth is temporarily stopped. Now that new anti-nausiant drugs are available to patients, many people living with cancer treatment are able to work and play almost like normal, except for the hair loss.

The hair loss brings a loss of privacy and self-image that many find harder to deal with than the actual treatment. For this situation, we recommend that you choose a wig from a selection of full cap wigs.

CAUSES OF MEDICALLY RELATED HAIR LOSS AND THINNING HAIR

Medical related hair loss can be attributed to several causes including:

There are several hair loss treatment options available for those experiencing medically related hair loss, including, fully customized human hair chemo wigs as well as full head hair prostheses.

Our fully customized hair replacements for men, women, and children are uniquely and totally different from the standard wigs readily available in department stores or mail order catalogs in that they allow you to enjoy the totally natural, completely undetectable look of actual growing hair.

They are individually custom designed to meet an individual's specific hair loss needs, and to look totally natural and undetectable. Whatever the cause, every medically-related hair loss situation can be restored to the patient’s original hair style and look.

Trichotillomania (Compulsive Hair Pulling)

Many people have nervous habits, but people who pull out their hair compulsively can suffer overwhelming emotional and even physical impact. Hair pulling is a deep secret for most people who do it, but it is not especially rare. Psychiatrists estimate that 4 million Americans have what is called trichotillomania (trick-o-till-o-main-ee-a). If wigs or hair replacement is something you want to consider, the highly experienced consultants at Transitions of Wisconsin in Milwaukee will help you find the best solution.

Human Hair Wigs

For the very ultimate in comfort and style there is nothing like a high-quality human hair wig.

Contrary to popular belief, not all human hair wigs are hard to maintain. In fact, because you can use hot blowers, rollers and curling (straightening) irons you have a lot more styling options.

Human hair wigs are cut and customized to the look that you want. For this reason we do not have set styles like with the synthetic wigs.
