Wigs for medical hair loss
Kallov Hair makes wigs and helps them fit. We do not diagnose, we do not treat, and we do not advise on your care. That belongs to your clinicians. This page exists so you can read at your own pace, decide what you actually want, and reach out only when you are ready.

Before anything else
There is no right way to do this
A wig, a scarf, a hat, a shaved head, or nothing at all. Every one of those is a complete answer. Some people want hair back the day it starts going. Some never want a wig and are perfectly happy. Some change their mind three times. None of that is a failure of coping.
We would rather you leave this page having decided a wig is not for you than buy one because a website made you feel like you were supposed to.
Timing
When to prepare, and when to wait
Two things are worth doing early, and both only make sense with your care team's guidance on timing.
If you know changes are coming, two things are worth doing early, and both only make sense with your care team's guidance on timing.
Document what you have. Photographs in good daylight, front, back, and both sides. Your color formula if you have one. Your usual cut, part, and length. That is the reference we work from when we match.
Measure. Six measurements, taken properly. A head changes shape as hair is lost, so numbers taken with a full head of hair may not describe the head that ends up wearing the wig. If your hair is actively shedding, we would rather measure closer to the time or build in room to adjust. Ask your care team when they expect changes, then tell us what they said.
For clinical information about hair loss, the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, and the American Academy of Dermatology publish current patient guidance at no cost. We point you there because they are the right source and we are not.
Comfort and construction
Six questions worth asking any wig maker
Ask these of us. Ask them of everyone else too.
-
What does it weigh?
Ask for a finished weight, not an adjective. Length and density drive it. A 24 inch piece at high density is a different object from a 14 inch piece at low density, and by hour nine you will know which one you bought.
-
What is the cap made of?
Ask what sits against your scalp and how open it is. Every Kallov Hair is built on a ventilated cap or full lace. The open lace or mesh construction is designed to allow greater airflow than a closed wig cap.
-
Can it be adjusted?
Straps, combs, and elastic are choices, not fixtures. Ask whether they can be left out, moved, or softened. On a CrownCare piece those are decided with you, not for you.
-
Does it need glue?
Glueless wear is standard on every Kallov Hair. HD lace, no adhesive required, no wig cap needed underneath. Low-tension and adhesive-free options are available.
-
Will it fit me, specifically?
Ask whether the maker works from your measurements or from an average. We work in small, medium, and large, and the size guide shows you which one you are.
-
What is the hair?
Every Kallov Hair is raw human hair. It washes, it takes heat within reason, and a professional can color it. That matters when you are going to live in it.
CrownCare caps are designed to allow greater airflow. Individual fit, comfort, temperature, and sensitivity vary. No wig is guaranteed to prevent irritation.
Privacy
What a consultation covers, and what you never have to say
A CrownCare private consultation covers measurements, cap construction, fit, attachment preferences, design, timing, and documentation questions. You choose what to share.
You never have to name your diagnosis. You never have to tell us how much hair you have. You never have to turn your camera on. If something about your scalp genuinely affects how we build the piece, we will ask you a specific question about comfort, and you are free to decline that one too.
We ask permission before any photograph. We do not record calls. Diagnosis and treatment stay with your licensed care team.
Paperwork
Cranial prosthesis, prescriptions, and insurers
Some insurance plans may consider reimbursement for a prescribed cranial prosthesis. Some plans do not. The plan decides. Not us, and not your clinician.
What we can do
- Give you the questions to ask your insurer before you buy.
- Explain what plans commonly ask for.
- Provide an accurate itemized paid invoice.
- Help you organize a self-submission packet.
- Correct a factual error on our own invoice.
What we cannot do
- Confirm your plan covers this.
- Issue, alter, or interpret medical documentation.
- Select a diagnosis code.
- Write a letter of medical necessity.
- Promise that any word, code, or document will be accepted.
- File the claim for you.
We will also not change a truthful detail on an invoice to make a claim more likely to pay, and that one is not negotiable.
Take this with you
Questions to ask your plan
- Does my plan include a cranial prosthesis benefit?
- Is a prescription required, and what exactly must it say?
- Is a letter of medical necessity required, and from whom?
- Is there an annual or lifetime dollar limit?
- Do I need prior authorization?
- Must I use an in-network supplier?
- What documentation does the claim require, and where does it go?
Coverage and reimbursement are not guaranteed. The insurer determines eligibility, required documentation, coding acceptance, allowed amount, and payment. Kallov Hair does not diagnose conditions, prescribe cranial prostheses, select diagnosis codes, or write clinical letters of medical necessity. Tax treatment depends on individual facts and current law. Consult a qualified tax professional.
