Wigs in League City, TX

Your insurance can help pay for a wig if the oncologist writes a RX. I went to the dollar tree and world market and got scarves, hats and ribbons. I’m also lucky and have bunches of knitter friends who lovingly made me soft hats. My head hurt when the hair was falling out and the silk hat a friend made me was a godsend. So soft and not itchy. I also talked with a friend who is bald due to a medical issue and she helped me learn how to rock the bald head. Long, dangly earnings helped. Call your your doctors office and get her signed up for the feel good look good class. It’s free and it helped me because I was so lonely because my WBC were super low during chemo. It was nice to get out and talk wth other ladies who were right there with me. And remind her that she is beautiful, you love her and you married her for more than her boobs and her hair. My husband still reminds me this when I’m depressed. It helps so much

My wife has alopecia so she is a wig expert. The best wigs are from Peggy Knight Wigs, but they are very expensive ($3 k+) and insurance almost definitely won't pay for them, if you're lucky maybe a hundred bucks or so.

I do know that her oncologist can write her a prescription for a cranial prosthesis which is a wig and most insurance companies will pay or pay a portion. My cancer center always had free scarves, hats, caps. Also I bought several wigs on e bay and they looked just as good as the more expensive ones. Also the cancer society has wigs. I did use cold cap therapy so I cant tell you anything about that.

I had one free wig from the cancer center and one nicer wig I bought from a wig shop near me that was about $200. Most days, I just wore a cotton bandana tied in the back. Walmart sells them for $1 in lots of different colors and styles (look in the bags/hats section). I also had a couple nicer scarves from headcovers.com. Also, be prepared for eyebrows and eyelashes to fall out too. The best gift I ever received was a really nice eyebrow pencil. I tried false eyelashes but they didn’t stay on well without the support of natural lashes. Just a thick liner gives the illusion of lashes. Watch out for dry/itchy eyes and be prepared with some eye drops.
