FAQs – Your Most Important Questions, Answered
Will I definitely lose my hair during treatment?
Not everyone loses their hair, but some chemotherapy treatments do cause hair loss. It often begins 2-3 weeks after starting chemo, with gradual thinning or full loss. If you're unsure about your specific treatment, speak to your oncology team for guidance.
When should I start thinking about getting a wig?
The best time to start looking for a wig is before your hair starts to fall out. This allows us to match your natural hair color and style more accurately. However, if you've already started losing hair, don't worry—we’ll still help you find perfect new hair.
4.Will my wig look obvious or fake?
Not at all! Our wigs are designed to look completely natural. We carefully customise the fit, style, and color to ensure that even your closest friends and family won’t be able to tell it’s a wig.
What if I lose my hair before my wig is ready?
We offer loan wigs so you never have to go without hair while waiting for your perfect piece. Always ask your wig provider if they offer this service.
How much does a wig cost?
Wig prices vary depending on the type:
- Synthetic wigs: £160 – £500 (affordable & easy to maintain)
