Although temporary, it makes cancer an integral part of their identity, hence affecting them emotionally and wigs help to make them feel like themselves. This is especially the case with the underprivileged part of society where there is a stigma associated with baldness. Wigs made of synthetic hair can be unpleasant to wear for long and can cause irritation and boils on scalp, wigs made from human hair is comfortable to wear. These natural hair wigs are very expensive and the needy cannot afford them.
