How Head Coverings For Hair Loss Benefit Both Children And Adults

By Christa Jarvis


Balding men face few challenges socially, and many specifically choose the hairless look. Women and children may find that modern culture is not always as forgiving. The causes of non-pattern baldness include the effects of chemotherapy, alopecia areata, thyroid and hormone disorders, anemia, and other conditions. Head coverings for hair loss help victims get through a difficult period with dignity.

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.

To help regain a sense of well-being, many women or older children choose from a wide variety of accessories and wigs that help re-establish normalcy. Most modern wigs are constructed from either synthetic strands or human hair, and both can be styled individually. Synthetic wigs are often chosen due to ease of care. They can be washed and left on a wig stand to dry, and retain their original look longer.

Not all younger people feel comfortable wearing something they usually associate with old age. Some outlets feature styles appropriate for older children who have a good understanding of their current circumstances, and simply want to feel less conspicuous around others. Most wigs must be styled and properly fitted before long periods of wear. A broad selection of tones guarantees that a close color match will exist.

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.

Boldly designed hats and caps can reflect personality and spirit, and are a popular choice for women who usually avoid wigs. A bright hat always makes a personal fashion statement, and wearing one during treatment can reflect an attitude of determination. Hats can not only help build a positive outlook through style, but are available in colors that highlight skin tones damaged by strong chemical treatments.

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.
