Most balding men face few social repercussions, and a growing number choose the look intentionally. Women and older children experiencing hair loss may discover that modern society is less forgiving. The condition may be a result of chemotherapy, thyroid or hormone disorders, alopecia areata, anemia, and other illnesses. Head coverings for hair loss provide patients with greater self-esteem and assurance.
The effects of treatment can be debilitating, and when combined with a rapidly changing external appearance are also devastating emotionally. Chemotherapy-induced baldness occurs because the treatment is specifically designed to target rapidly growing cells, which includes both tumors and follicles. The process causes thinning hair that varies in severity.
Assurances that it will all grow back are well meaning, but provide little comfort. Some patients experience real grief regarding these unpleasant changes. Most doctors advise their patients to embrace those feelings, accept the temporary loss, and then concentrate on getting better. In order to restore a sense of normal personal appearance, many people adopt coverings that express a more positive outlook.
Many older children and women favor a combination of accessories and wigs that not only look good, but provide personal comfort and a greater sense of well-being. Most modern wigs are made from synthetic materials or strands of human hair, and both can be styled individually. Synthetic strands are generally simpler to maintain. They are easily washed and left standing to dry, and retain their initial shape longer.
While not all young people feel comfortable in a wig, some retail outlets specialize in styles appropriate for children old enough to understand what has happened, and who want to feel less conspicuous. Like many other personal accessories, a wig is not ready to be worn immediately, and must be fitted and sized for comfort. The wide spectrum of available tones ensures that a close color match will be available.
Because some forms of treatment are more debilitating, it may be difficult for some women to cope with wearing a complete wig. In those situations some choose to wear a face framer, which is a hat and partial wig combined for optimal effect. A large selection of styles is available, and most are very easy to care for. Some women also favor warmth-retaining caps for sleeping.
A bold hat or cap design reflects strong personality and spirit, and are popular with many women who find wigs unacceptable. A colorful hat or turban can make a succinct statement, and those who wear them are often expressing an attitude of determined strength. They help rebuild a positive mental outlook, are easy to wear, and come in colors that complement skin tones that suffered during medical treatment.
Scarves provide an alternative to turbans, wigs, or caps. Specially designed scarves have longer tails appropriate for adapting to any style, and that provide a more luxurious approach to concealment. Like hats, they include a wide range of patterns and colors, and some shops specifically feature creations for patients. Current ideas, products and choices are found on line and in many retail outlets.
