By Donna Taylor, Comfort & Confidence Specialist
When shopping for a wig, understanding the key components can help you choose the right one for your needs.
Here’s a breakdown of the basic construction options we carry.
  • Wefted Caps: Rows of hair are sewn into strips by machine. 
  • Fully Hand-Tied Caps: Each hair is hand-tied into a stretchy mesh for comfort and flexibility.
Different top materials offer varying levels of realism, durability, and comfort:
  • Mono Tops: The most realistic, mimicking a natural scalp, affordable and durable. 
  • Monto top with Lace Front: Lightweight and breathable, ideal for those who want a natural hairline. 
Choosing the right wig depends on your needs, lifestyle, and styling preferences.

Crafted from high-quality synthetic fibers or authentic human hair, they offer a world of possibilities. With an array of stunning styles and shades, finding the perfect wig can be a transformative experience that requires curiosity, patience, and a dash of exploration. Your wig will feel as natural as your most cherished accessory, effortlessly weaving into your daily routine.
With experience in wig fitting, I have shared a breakdown of the advantages and disadvantages to help you decide, whether your hair loss is due to cancer treatment, aging, or genetics.

Holiday Cheer and Cancer Care: Tips for Navigating the Season

The holiday season can be overwhelming for anyone, but for those undergoing cancer treatment, it can be especially challenging. It's important to manage your energy and not overexert yourself while still embracing the festive spirit.
 
Here are my tips for navigating the holidays during cancer treatment include:

  • Surround yourself with loved ones, whether through physical gatherings or virtual connections.
  • Modify your traditions to reduce stress. For example, delegate hosting duties or opt for a potluck meal.
  • Delegate shopping and decorating to family members who are helpful and empathetic.
  • Clear your travel plans with your physician.
  • Seek out a trusted confidant or counselor to help manage stress. Emotional support has never been this crucial.
  • If you're able to eat, indulge in holiday foods in moderation to maintain nutrition without overloading your digestive system.
  • Ensure that your activities incorporate ample downtime. Rest is vital, as fatigue is a common side effect of cancer treatments.
Lastly, communicate openly with your doctor to tailor your treatment schedule to accommodate holiday plans and address any new or concerning side effects.
 
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Festivus!
