COVID-19
A common side of effect of the novel coronavirus is hair loss. Just like the loss of taste and smell, the effects of covid-19 recede over time and the hair usually grows back. However, to ease the wait, patients often turn to wigs as a solution for their worry. The condition may be as a result of elogen effluvium, which can be caused not only from high fever , but even from emotional distress in stressful life events.
DINICARES, A DIVISION OF DINI WIGS, SPECIALIZES IN MANUFACTURING WIGS FOR CANCER PATIENTS AND WIGS FOR WOMEN WITH ALOPECIA. OUR COMMITMENT TO PATIENTS IS TO DEVELOP A CUSTOM WIG THAT WILL LOOK AND FEEL JUST LIKE YOUR OWN NATURAL HAIR.

COPING WITH HAIR LOSS
Patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments may experience hair loss. This condition is only temporary, and hair most often grows back after treatment ends. Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition that causes hair to fall out in clumps or large patches. These patches may grow back after a few months.
Losing your hair can be stressful and embarrassing. Here are some strategies that can help you cope:
Think about cutting your hair short before you begin to lose your hair. Cutting your hair very short will help you prepare for hair loss and may make the experience less distressing.
Do not shave your head. Shaving your head may cause your scalp to become irritated.
How you cope with your hair loss is a personal decision. Do what feels right for you, and what makes you most comfortable.
If you decide that a human-hair wig is right for you, here are some pointers to keep in mind.
Your insurance may help pay for your wig, so make sure to ask your doctor for a prescription, usually written as “cranial prosthesis”.
If possible, make your wig appointment before you begin to lose your hair. This will help the DiniCares specialist create the best match. If your hair loss has already begun, bring a photo of yourself from before your hair loss. This will help us recreate a look most closely resembling your natural color, style, and texture.
You may want to bring along a family member or friend to provide support and give a second opinion.
There are no shortages of options when looking for wigs for cancer patients. Give yourself the time to adjust to your new look. It’s also recommended to try on as many cancer wigs as possible. If you are new to wigs, then it’s often suggested to pick a style that closely matches your natural hairstyle. This allows you to quickly accept your new appearance and confidently wear the wig at work and at social events.
