Head Coverings For Hair Loss Help Patients During Recovery

By Christa Jarvis


Many men choose the bald look intentionally, and face few social repercussions afterward. Women and children faced with thinning hair may find that they do not enjoy the same acceptance. Non-pattern baldness may be caused by alopecia areata, chemotherapy, anemia, hormone and thyroid problems, and other health issues. Head coverings for hair loss help victims retain personal dignity and comfort during this difficult period.

It takes an immense effort to deal with serious disease, and when an ailment as accompanied by a radically unpleasant change in appearance, the result may be emotionally devastating. Baldness accompanies treatment with toxic chemicals because they target all fast-growing cells, including follicles, and the result may be partial or total hair loss.

Standard assurances that it will grow back are well meaning but ineffective. Many people experience real grief as a result of these changes. Therapists usually advise these patients to acknowledge their feelings, accept the loss, and then proceed towards the next wellness goal. During that interval, many choose head coverings that express a positive outlook while helping them feel less conspicuous.

In many cases women and older children choose a combination of wigs or accessories that provide a comforting sense of normality and well-being. Modern wigs are made from a variety of materials including human strands and synthetics, both of which can be individually styled. Synthetics are generally easier to maintain, can be washed and left to dry on a stand, and retain their original shape better.

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.

The effects of treatment can be temporarily debilitating, sometimes making it difficult to physically deal with a full wig. Many women choose a face framer, a partial wig combined with an attractive hat. Like full wigs, a variety of styles is available, with the added advantage of easy care. At night some also choose to wear caps for sleeping, which helps retain warmth.

A fashionably bold cap or hat reflects inner strength, and is appropriate for those who do not really like wigs. A brightly designed hat can make a lasting fashion statement that shows determination while also providing personal comfort. Not only do hats encourage a more upbeat personal outlook, but are usually available in colors that flatter skin tones left sallow by chemotherapy.

Scarves provide an additional stylish alternative to hats and wigs. Many have extra-long tails that look good tied in any form desired, and they are an attractive way to re-frame a balding head in luxurious fabric. There is a variety of patterns and materials, and some retail outlets feature selections specifically for people who are facing this situation.
