Your questions, answered with care

Find clear, helpful answers to the most common questions about our medical-grade wigs, consultations, care, and ordering process—so you can shop with confidence.

How does the consultation process work?

Your experience begins with a personalized consultation, either in person or virtually. During this time, we take the time to understand your preferences, lifestyle, and where you are in your treatment journey.

From there, we guide you through the best options for your needs, whether that’s a custom wig, extensions, or a longer-term restoration plan. Every step is handled with care, discretion, and a white-glove level of support.

HOW DO EXTENSIONS WORK AFTER CHEMO, AND HOW SOON CAN I GET THEM?

We offer trademarked extension techniques designed specifically for women recovering from medical hair loss.

Extensions can be applied with as little as 1/4 inch of hair regrowth, depending on your hair type and overall scalp health. For some; this means about 5-8 weeks after chemo is completed we can give you a full-head of extensions. During your consultation, we assess your readiness and create a plan that supports both your desired look and healthy hair recovery.

What types of extension techniques do you use?

We use a range of advanced extension techniques, including mesh integration, wefting, weaving, and proprietary methods developed specifically for medical hair loss. We never use glue. Instead, we use a proprietary bead-based technique designed to protect your natural hair and support a healthy regrowth journey.

We combine mesh integration with other methods to recreate the appearance of a natural scalp, even for clients with minimal hair. This allows us to conceal connection points and achieve a seamless, undetectable result. In many cases, we can work with less than 1 inch of hair, depending on your individual condition.

During your consultation, we determine the best approach based on your hair type, stage of regrowth, and desired outcome, ensuring a result that looks natural, feels secure, and supports long-term hair health.

Do you offer medical-grade wigs for hair loss?

Yes. All of our wigs are medical-grade, designed specifically for women experiencing hair loss due to cancer or medical treatment. They are crafted for sensitive scalps, long-term comfort, and a natural, undetectable look that reflects your personal style.

Can I make a wig out of my own hair?

Yes. For many women, this is one of the most meaningful options we offer.

We can transform your own hair into a custom wig, preserving your natural texture, color, and sense of self. It’s a way to hold onto a part of your identity during a time when so much is changing.

We’ll guide you through the process step by step, including when to begin and how to prepare, during your consultation.

Can I customize the color or length of my wig?

Yes. Every wig is fully customizable in color, length, texture, and density. Our team works closely with you to ensure the final result feels like you, whether you’re maintaining your current look or exploring something new.

Will my wig look natural?

Yes. Creating a natural, undetectable result is at the core of what we do.

Each wig is fully customized to match your features, preferences, and personal style, from color and density to cut and movement. Our goal is not just to give you hair, but to help you look and feel like yourself.

Every piece is refined with precision and care, so it blends seamlessly and feels as natural as it looks.

Do you offer support after I purchase a wig?

Yes. Our care doesn’t end at purchase.

Every client receives ongoing support, including fit adjustments, styling guidance, and follow-up consultations as needed. We stay closely involved to ensure your hair continues to feel comfortable, natural, and aligned with you throughout your journey.

DO YOU OFFER FINANCIAL SUPPORT OR PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR WIGS & EXTENSIONS?

Yes. We offer multiple pathways to make care more accessible.

Many of our wig and hair services are eligible for insurance reimbursement with approved prescriptions and providers. We also provide guidance to help you navigate that process.

Through our foundation, Hair With A Cause, select services may qualify for additional financial support for those who need it.

For wigs, we also offer flexible payment plans, allowing you to move forward with care in a way that feels manageable.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OAW AND HAIR WITH A CAUSE?

Oncology Aesthetics & Wellness (OAW) is our primary brand and service destination, providing luxury, personalized hair solutions including custom wigs, medical hair extensions, and ongoing restorative care.

Hair With A Cause is our foundation. It exists to expand access to these same services for women who may need additional financial or institutional support.

While OAW delivers the full experience, Hair With A Cause helps ensure more women can access that care through hospital partnerships, funding, and direct support.

Hair With A Cause

This is where it all started.

Before OAW, there was Hair With A Cause. What began as hands-on support for women experiencing hair loss during treatment has evolved into our philanthropic arm, helping more women access the care, confidence, and continuity they deserve.
