Can cancer patients get wigs for free?

Yes, in many cases. Several hospitals, cancer support organizations, and nonprofits provide free wigs to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation. Additionally, some salons and wig boutiques partner with local charities to offer complimentary wig fittings or discounted options. At Perfect Locks, we also work with patients and stylists to find solutions that fit every budget — because everyone deserves to feel confident and beautiful during recovery.

What kind of wig is best for cancer patients?

For sensitive scalps, lightweight, breathable human hair wigs are often the most comfortable and natural-looking choice. Human hair wigs offer the realism, styling flexibility, and longevity that make them worth the investment. Look for features like:100% Remy human hair for smooth, tangle-free wearHand-tied or monofilament caps for soft, scalp-friendly comfortLace front designs for a seamless, natural hairlineIf you prefer a low-maintenance option, synthetic wigs can also be a great alternative — they’re pre-styled, easy to care for, and available in many beautiful looks.

Does insurance pay for a wig during chemo?

Yes, many insurance companies do cover wigs prescribed for medical hair loss. The key is to ask your doctor for a prescription using the term “cranial prosthesis.”When you submit your claim, use that terminology, and include your receipt and provider’s information.Coverage varies by policy, so it’s best to contact your insurance provider directly to confirm eligibility and reimbursement amounts.
