Facing Chemo Hair Loss With Confidence
Losing your hair during chemotherapy can be one of the most emotional parts of cancer treatment. For many women, it’s not just about appearance — it’s about identity and feeling like yourself. At The Wig Gallery of Tampa, we believe you deserve a solution that looks natural, feels comfortable, and restores your confidence every single day.
When to Start Shopping for a Chemo Wig
It’s best to begin your wig search before your hair loss starts. This way, we can match your natural hair color, texture, and style — making the transition feel seamless. Many of our clients schedule a private consultation as soon as their doctor confirms they’ll be starting chemo.
Medical Wigs vs. Fashion Wigs: Why the Difference Matters
While you may see inexpensive wigs online or in stores, medical-grade wigs (also called cranial prostheses) are specifically designed for sensitive scalps during treatment.
Key differences include:
Breathable, soft caps to prevent irritation
Lightweight design to reduce pressure points
Secure fit for peace of mind
Natural hairlines that look realistic up close
At The Wig Gallery, all of our chemo wigs are chosen for comfort, durability, and a completely natural look.
What is a Cranial Hair Prosthesis?
A cranial hair prosthesis is a medical-grade wig that can often be covered in part or in full by insurance. We help you with the documentation you need to submit for possible reimbursement, making the process less stressful during treatment.
Choosing the Right Wig for You
When selecting your wig, you’ll want to consider:
Cap Construction
Monofilament caps for a realistic scalp appearance
Lace fronts for a natural-looking hairline
Hand-tied caps for maximum comfort
Hair Type
Human hair wigs for ultimate realism and styling versatility
High-quality synthetic wigs for easy maintenance and consistent style
Color & Style
Match your current look for a familiar appearance
Or use this as an opportunity to try a new style or color you’ve always wanted
