One of the hardest things about chemotherapy is losing your hair. But if you’re proactive, you can be in control of the situation by creating a halo wig using your own natural hair! Book an appointment before losing your hair to chemo!
“I wish I knew about this before I cut my hair” is what a lot chemo patients say after their doctor tells them to get a haircut before starting chemo. BIG MISTAKE!
Andrew DiSimone offers custom-made halo head coverings using your OWN hair before it falls out! The halo wig is easy to attach/detach, so you can just put it on like a hat and go (i.e., workout, shopping, take the kids to school, beach). Minimal styling necessary!
Our halo wigs are affordable and also extend the life of your premium wig by alternating wears. They are comfortable, lightweight and, best of all, it’s your hair!
“The only thing you can control during chemo is the hair loss”, says Andrew
It’s important to schedule a free hair cut with us before you lose your hair. The hair usually falls out 2 weeks from the first treatment – so we suggest cutting it no later than 10 days after your first treatment.
During your appointment, we will section off 1 ½″ ponytails, and cut the hair as close to the scalp as you let us. The shorter you cut it, the more length you will have on the halo. We cut it in ponytails to ensure all your hair is facing the same direction to minimize tangling. Your hair strands are then made into a straight line called “wefts of hair”, and sewn from temple to temple onto a comfortably-knitted cap that surrounds your head in a “U-shape”
The process of creating a halo wig is labor-intensive and can take anywhere from 1-2 weeks, and costs $1,000. If there’s not enough hair to make a halo, we can supplement hair for an additional $100 per 16” of hair.
Available in three cap sizes 19”, 21”, and 23”, and can be straight, wavy or curly.
