“My Hair Reminds Me That I Beat Cancer”

Just imagine what those words would sound like if you heard them.  “You have cancer.”  Quite devastating.  And the first thought in your mind is not going to be “am I going to lose my hair”?  Yet, unfortunately some treatments and chemotherapy drugs may result in hair loss. 

If you are going to have Chemotherapy, two ways to help gain control of the appearance of your hair is:

1.    Be aware of the drugs that may result in your hair loss and

2.    Be proactive BEFORE your hair loss begins.

Below is a list of Chemotherapy drugs as listed on www.Cancer.net which are known to cause hair loss.  Not all drugs do, so educating yourself is the first step.  If your drug is on this list or on their site, you can take steps ahead of time to help your appearance.

The first thing you can do is call New England Associates.  We have been an ally to many women who have battled cancer and want to look and feel their best during this difficult time.  If we evaluate you BEFORE your hair loss, then we can create a custom hair replacement that will look and feel very close to your own hair.  Some clients even say it’s better than their own hair!  And as Tammy, pictured above said, “It’s not a wig, it’s my own hair!”

So first, educate yourself. Then, contact New England Associates.  A free consultation will allow us to help you transitions easily from your hair to your new hair until the hair that you lose grows back.
