Welcome to
Modern Techniques Hair Studio
Dealing with cancer is an unfortunate reality in modern society, and one of the dreaded and upsetting complications of treating this disease is hair loss. Modern Hair Techniques is in the business of empowering those struggling with cancer and coping with hair loss. We offer high-quality chemo wigs to help restore your dignity and style because we understand that looking good can help you feel good.
If you have recently been diagnosed with cancer, taking control of the things you can manage may help you prepare emotionally for the changes ahead. You may not lose your hair immediately after starting chemotherapy, and cutting it short or experimenting with different styles can help you prepare for wearing a chemo wig.
Here are some of the ways wigs for chemo patients differ from fashion wigs:
Designed for sensitive scalps: The primary purpose of a fashion wig is to change your look or hairstyle. While fashion wigs can be comfortable and high quality, they are not always designed with the same considerations as chemo wigs. Your scalp may become very tender after losing your hair during chemotherapy, making a regular fashion wig uncomfortable. Chemo wigs for cancer patients feature soft, breathable linings designed to be gentler on a sensitive scalp.
Customised for a comfortable fit: Chemo wigs can be fitted directly to your head and customised to provide a secure, comfortable fit. They can also create an invisible hairline that closely replicates the appearance of natural hair. You can comb and style your wig with confidence, knowing it has been selected and fitted to suit your needs. Our wigs for cancer patients are also designed to be comfortable to put on and remove.
We offer a wide range of custom synthetic and human hair wigs in different colours, lengths and styles for men, women and children. We are also one of only two studios in Australia offering Cyberhair® wigs.
Finding the right cancer wig can help restore your confidence and make a positive difference to your day-to-day life.
Caring for your cancer wig may not be your first priority, but regular maintenance can help it retain its appearance and condition. Our qualified technicians have years of experience in wig maintenance and can service your hair and wig in a private room while you wait.
We can also show you how to care for your chemo wig at home. Maintenance requirements can vary depending on whether your wig is made from synthetic or human hair.
Wash and rinse your synthetic wig every three to four weeks using cold or lukewarm water and a few drops of wig shampoo. Be gentle with the synthetic hair and avoid rubbing, brushing or rough drying while it is wet, as this can cause breakage and frizz.
Let your synthetic chemo wig air-dry, and style it only once it is completely dry. Placing a wet wig over a head-sized stand can stretch the wig, so consider draping it over a cylindrical can or similar object while it dries.
Human hair wigs can be washed, dried and styled much like your natural hair. Unlike synthetic wigs, you do not need to worry about heat causing the hair to melt or shrink. You can wash a human hair wig in warm water and use heat-styling tools once the hair is completely dry.
Following the right care routine can help maintain your wig's appearance and keep it looking its best.
