Hair Extensions Boost Chemotherapy Patients’ Self-esteem

Posted on December 12, 2009

Women and men who are experiencing the hardships of chemotherapy and radiation treatment for cancer must deal with a myriad of harrowing problems.

The dramatic hair loss caused by chemo and radiation can be deeply damaging to a person's self-esteem.

Wigs can be hot, itchy and inconvenient to put on, take off and maintain. Many cancer patients find that hair extensions are more practical, comfortable, and easy to care for because they stay in and can be styled just like your natural hair. An expert application will not be inexpensive, but it will help to foster a healthy self-image during this difficult time.
