By Brian Roberts


Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are some of the treatment processes of cancer, which the affected suffer as negative effects from the cure. Nonetheless, the positive results of the therapies are superlative to the side effects. Cancer patients have challenges when dealing with hair loss cases, which is a result of the treatment plans. A toupee is one solution used by the affected to cover the head despite the high costs. With this, the users are expected to maintain the hairpieces, for long period use. Steps for maintaining wigs for cancer patients Delaware are covered below.

You have to detangle the wig before you soak it in water. Use a long comb in the detangling until the hairpieces are combed. Using your fingers you can prove if the extensions are intertwined. When you find they are still entangled comb them again before you soak them. In case the hairpieces get into contact with water before they are detangled they could lose their style.

Washing is the next step, and it is done using clean water. The toupees are made of fibers and when they get into contact with hot water they will damage. Thus, ensure the water is cold, and of a good level in the bowl to clean the hairpiece. Shampoos among other detergents that are advised by the manufacturer of the hairpiece are added as cleansers. After mixing the detergents, immerse the wig into the vessel and allow it to soak for around four minutes.

After the cleaning process, rinsing follows. Another container full of water is used to remove the shampoo used in cleaning. The wigs are not squeezed or in any way pressed to remove the detergent. You will use clean water in bowls until the detergent is no longer seen.

The wigs are nurtured by application of conditioners. The ointment is stroked from the end to the root side. Ensure that you apply until the detergent is well absorbed by the hairpieces. Give time for the conditioner to be imbibed before you rinse the toupee. The minimum minutes for proper absorption are four.

After the washing and conditioning the toupees, you are needed to dry them. Place the hairpieces in between folded towels for pat drying. The wigs should not be squeezed or rubbed in any instance so that they can dry fast. The pressing will damage the wigs by forming unwanted curls. After some time when you think the cloth has drawn the wetness, remove the wig from the towel.

You will not leave the toupee unattended after the washing you have to style it up. Brush it using your fingers until it forms its style. Also, you could use combs in the styling process. Thereafter, place it on a stand to dry completely before you wear it again. In the case, you may not have the stands you may erect the wig in a mouth of a container.

You may not have the charity for another time if you fail to maintain the toupee. You have the duty of ensuring you wash the wigs after time. The maintenance will help you to use the hairpieces for long before it loses its attractive look.
