What is a Cranial Prosthesis ?
A cranial hair prosthesis is a hair system designed specifically for
those suffering from hair loss due to medical conditions. Prostheses contain a combination of fabrics and compounds
that are used to re-create natural hair growth patterns and the look of the scalp. All materials in the prosthesis
are treated to resist dirt, oils and body acids while providing maximum comfort.
Cranial hair prostheses are different than department store wigs in quality, performance and service. Prostheses
are made with specialized material sensitive to the needs of the individual. They come in a variety of styles and
colors. The fit is adjustable to each person's size and is also custom cut and styled. A department store wig has
a set style what you see is what you get. Often, they don't fit correctly and have a heavy, fuller appearance.
Service plays an important role when selecting a hair prosthesis. Wigs ordered through the mail can sometimes be
a guessing game in dealing with color. Styling it yourself may also be difficult. A studio that specializes in
hair loss and offers hair replacements has professional technicians who have been trained and educated in working
with prostheses. They can design the perfect cranial prosthesis for an individual and have the knowledge and skills
for cutting and styling a hair system as well.
When looking for hair loss options, you need to decide what will best fit your needs. Whether you decide on wearing
hats or turbans, integrations or a hair prosthesis, consulting with a professional will give you the most answers
to your questions. |
