ABOUT ALOPECIA
Why the Wig Dr. is the right choice for you...
Alopecia is a medical term for “baldness,” an abnormal condition of hair loss, resulting in smooth, round, bald patches on the scalp. In some cases, hair can thin out and/ or break, leaving the scalp with short stubs of hair. This unpredictable condition may allow for hair to grow back after a few months but later falls out, again. According to WedMD, About 10% of people with this condition may never get their hair back. Alopecia cannot be cured but can be treated. We understand that hair plays an immense role in appearance and hair loss especially, can leave someone feeling unattractive.
Although, this condition has no cure, life does not end here. In fact, it continues at the Wig Dr. For Alopecia cancer fighters, we know that dealing with this condition is tough.

Chemo Patients
Many chemo patients and women who are experiencing hair loss for the first time worry that others will know that they are wearing a wig. With wigs, the old adage, "You get what you pay for," definitely applies. The key to selecting a natural looking wig is to choose a high quality wig. Quality
is determined by the hair fibers used, the cap construction and the cap material.
Although more expensive, monofilament wigs or hand tied wigs offer the most natural looking cap construction for cancer patients. Individual hairs are hand tied to the cap which makes it look like real hair is growing from the scalp. There are many different quality levels in synthetic hair fiber. Generally, the more expensive a wig is, the higher the quality of the hair used. The good news is that high quality synthetic hair can look just as natural as real human hair wigs so you don't have to spend a fortune. With our selection of wigs, no one will ever know you are wearing a wig... unless you tell them! But be prepared for an abundance of compliments on your "new hairdo!"
