Losing your hair from chemotherapy? Options and why I created Hair for Hats
When going through chemotherapy or alopecia you may think your options are:
(1) boldly embrace your baldness, which can be confronting (hats off to you, literally, if you choose to do this!)
(2) wear a full wig, which often look fake and feel hot and itchy. Unless you want to spend thousands of dollars on a human hair, and lots of time on its high maintenance, synthetic hair wigs are the option, and these looks shiny and fake.
(3) wear a hat, beanie, or turban, which without hair can still be confronting and make you look sick (even if you are actually not sick, but strongly going through the harsh therapy required).
However, there is a little known alternative, a combination of the best of these options: a partial human hair wig for under all your hats.
Why choose a Human Hair Hat Wig?
Human hair hat wigs offer a way to make the journey through hair loss just a little bit easier, making you feel a bit more normal by making you look "a bit more like you" while you go through your journey.
Hair for Hats wig pieces look real because they are made of human hair, yet unlike full human hair wigs they are affordable, easy to wear and require almost no maintenance. They feel comfortable to wear all day, everyday - as if you're not wearing a wig at all.
Here's why I decided to create Hair for Hats' versatile human hair hat wig option:

First I went to the wig library, and found this synthetic option with darker roots - not bad, but still shiny and fake, and itchy:
