If you or a friend is going through chemotherapy treatments that have caused hair loss, you may need to purchase, or assist someone with buying, wigs for cancer patients. Initially, many people are understandably upset that they have lost their hair. However, wearing a wig includes advantages such as:


  • Not spending money on hair products and haircuts
  • Never having a “bad hair day”
  • The ability to switch looks without making permanent changes

Get a Head Measurement

The first step in shopping for a wig involves measuring the head. Getting an accurate measurement is essential for a good fit. Just use a flexible measuring tape, and put it snugly around the hairline. Make a note of the circumference, plus the distance between the front and back of the head.

Decide on the Details

Once you know the correct size, start researching specifics, such as if it would be preferable to get a wig made from human hair or from a synthetic material. Choosing the cap is another necessity. Classic caps are very reasonably priced, and look realistic. Furthermore, some cap styles are designed to look as if hair is growing from the scalp.
