Other Products We Sell...
Wigs are not all we sell at Wigs Unlimited! Wigs Unlimited sells a number of products to serve cancer and cancer treatment patients. Radiation and chemotherapy are very harsh on the human body. While sometimes necessary to treat the relentless progression of cancer, these therapies sometimes create a whole host of side effects themselves that need to be treated. We sell a number of products to help you look better and feel better. Over 2.5 million Americans have some degree of alopecia, and though there are many causes, hair loss is often the most visible aspect of cancer treatment. Scalp and hair care are vital at this challenging time! And as important as the right wigs and head coverings are, try also to understand the cause of your hair loss and how to provide vital care and comfort to your very tender scalp at this time. As hair loss begins, the scalp is often dry, itchy, irritated, and tender. Sensitivity to fragrances is common. Use ALRA Mild Conditioning Shampoo regularly and, as hair growth resumes, select a soft brush for gentle styling. In preparation for hair loss, discuss the side effects of chemotherapy drugs and their potential for hair loss and whether to anticipate gradual thinning or sudden loss. Select a wig and schedule an appointment for your hair to be trimmed very short before the expected hair loss. Perhaps your stylist or a care giver will offer a moisturizing scalp massage, using a small amount of ALRA Therapy Lotion, to aid in loosening and removing dead hair and flaking skin. Endeavor to repeat the scalp cleansing and massage every other day throughout the treatment period and beyond, as the hair gradually returns to normal. |
