Chemo Wigs are used by patients undergoing chemical therapies as a part of their cancer treatment. They form an important part of a full recovery for such people, who typically experience hair loss as a side effect of treatment. Like others on the market, Chemo Wigs are made from either human hair or synthetic fibers. Human hair wigs are usually much preferred over synthetic ones so they are almost always much more expensive. They can also be cut and styled in any way, with some people claiming they can actually feel the difference between real hair and man-made hair. Human Hair Wigs tend to be sourced from Asia or Eastern Europe. Hair from Asia is quite often Chinese, Korean, or Indian, and can undergo treatment for color and texture. That from Europe tends to originate in the eastern half of the continent and do not generally need such processing. They are often known as "virgin" or "all-natural" hair.

Cancer is one of the cruelest diseases because it is so inexplicable. Chemo Wigs tend to the psychological aspects of chemical therapy, the only treatment offering any hope to those diagnosed with the later stages of cancer. But the loss of hair almost completely alters one's appearance at a time when one's self-identity may be under question, so even a small matter like hair can have deep and far-reaching effects. Some other things one may do for oneself in that regard is to protect the scalp and any remaining hair. Since the baldness that comes with chemotherapy should be temporary, it is probably important to take extra special care of the natural hair that might still remain, using a soft brush and the smoothest pillowcases, which are less likely to catch hair during sleep.

Cancer treatment is very costly, but Chemo Wigs may be covered by health insurance, depending on the precise terms of the policy. These human hair wigs help people, particularly women, deal with the trauma and stigma of hair loss. There are also non-profit organizations that will lend wigs out to qualifying applicants for free. And many companies offer special pricing with a doctor's notice. But whatever the source, the use of wigs to help promote self-confidence and self-esteem during one of life's most challenging times is very common. A good quality wig can even be considered a kind of medical equipment, and actually wind up being one of the most used of all!
