Quality wig establishments will clean and re-style wigs when needed. Wigs made from natural hair can be styled, curled, or treated with hairspray or mousse. Consider a wig with tape tabs. These tape tabs allow women to use double-sided tape that holds the wig cap to the scalp, keeping it in place for an extended period of time. Tape tabs allow women to comb and style the wig without worrying about it sliding.
Many women prefer to shave off their remaining hair after large portions begin to fall out.
Consider getting two wigs. After chemotherapy ends, it usually takes about a month for a woman's hair to begin growing again. Even after finishing chemotherapy, a woman will need to wear her wig for several months. Most wig specialists recommend getting two wigs to alternate with during and after chemotherapy. Since wigs need to be cleaned and re-styled from time to time, having two wigs will prevent a woman from having to go without a wig for any period of time.
