Medical cranial hair prosthesis made by Louticia Grier are ideal for women experiencing hair loss contributed to chemotherapy. Tamoxifen and brain radiation also causes hair loss. If you’re undergoing any of these treatments, you may be curious about trying out a hair prosthesis.
Medical wigs and cranial hair prosthesis can conceal hair loss. They also can help you look more like yourself before treatment or provide a completely different look. In addition to that, they protect your scalp from cold air and the sun.
However, there’s a big difference between a regular wig and a cranial hair prothesis wig. The latter is intended for patients who have lost their hair due to treatments such as chemotherapy.
Cranial Hair Prosthesis for Women
Different from an off-the-shelf wig, each hair prosthesis is custom made to fit. Precise head measurements are taken and real human hair is selected from a large array of colors and textures. And sometimes, three variations of the hair color are blended for a more natural appearance. The hair is hand-tied onto a base material that resembles a natural scalp.
We have several choices of base material to fit your lifestyle.

There are different types of hair systems and wigs that are easy to care for and reasonably priced. However, a cranial hair prosthesis will provide a more natural look and fit exactly as you expect. These prostheses are made with synthetic hair, human hair, or a combination of the two. Albeit, our clients lets us know which they prefer, using 100% human hair is our preferred method.
