Please be gentle with yourself and remember that your hair will come back. In the meantime, we’ve got some cancer hair regrowth style ideas that will have you feeling fabulous!
How to Style Regrowth Hair
As you come to terms with styling hair that is growing out, it’s important to be aware that this process is different for everyone, whether or not you’re trying to accelerate hair regrowth using rosemary oil or other organic solutions. Regrowth speed depends on many factors, including your hair type (straight, curly, afro), your physical health and your genetics.
No Hair
Wig
There are many benefits to wearing wigs, especially for those with no natural hair. Wigs not only let you experiment with endless hairstyles while growing your hair out, but also keep your scalp warm and protected. Just make sure to care for your wig with the proper tools and accessories so it retains its true shape and colour over time. If you look after your wig, your wig will look after you!
Headwear
Scarves and turbans are beautiful alternatives to wigs. Crafted from super-soft bamboo fibres and breathable viscose, our selection of headwear offers full coverage in a range of colours and styles. As well as being gentle on your scalp and new hair, headwear can help you reclaim your confidence and express your unique sense of style. It’s no surprise, then, that this is one of our favourite chemo hair regrowth styles!
Short Hair
Toppers
Once your hair reaches pixie cut length, you may start to feel giddy at all the newfound potential! The beauty of this trend is that it can be styled as scruffy or neat as you like and still look phenomenal. As well as investing in texturising products to achieve your desired look, you might consider adding a hair topper for some extra volume. A good colour match can also disguise patchy hair at your crown, blending seamlessly with your short natural hair.
Hairpieces
Instead of a topper, you may choose a different type of hairpiece, such as a layered top piece to achieve a fuller parting, or one of our bestselling fringe power pieces to create the illusion of a much longer fringe. Whether you want to show off your lengthening natural hair or keep things under wraps for a bit longer, hairpieces offer many fantastic styles while growing out short hair!
Long Hair
Accessories
Now that your locks are replenished and you’ve mastered how to style regrowth hair, how are you going to have it? To keep your long hair back from your face and add a feminine touch, we recommend a beautiful headband! Choose from casual styles perfect for the daytime or opt for something jazzy once the sun goes down. With many gorgeous, comfortable options, this is a great way to continue growing your hair out in style.
Extensions
If you’re used to much longer hair, you may fancy trying extensions. Once your natural hair is strong enough to take the extra weight, this is a great choice for ladies looking to hit fast forward on their hair regrowth! There are countless types to choose from, whether you’re rocking straight, curly or afro hair. Please contact us for help finding your perfect colour match so you can regain your confidence even faster.

I had chemo in 2002 2004 and again in 2010, for breast cancer, the last time was extremely difficult, causing me numerous problems, one of which was waking after 2 days of severe illness to find I was deaf. Regrowth has never been complete and I’m now a customer.
