Hair loss is a common side effect of chemotherapy, and while it can be a difficult adjustment, there are ways to maintain a sense of normalcy and feel confident throughout your treatment. Hair extensions offer a great option to add volume and length, but achieving a natural look can be a concern. Today, we'll explore how to use extensions from a brand like Naturyl Extensions (https://naturylextensions.com/) and a simple headband hack to achieve a seamless and natural style.
The headscarf look:
Forget complicated attachments or potential scalp irritation! This trick utilises a soft, stretchy headband readily available at your local pharmacy. Look for one around 3cm wide for extra comfort. Here's how it works:
- Put on the headband: Slide the headband comfortably over your head, positioning it slightly forward from where you want your hairline to appear.
- Tuck in the invisible wire extension: Tuck the extension under the headband around the back. This fixes it in place and creates a hidden anchor for a natural appearance.
- Cover with a headscarf: Tie your headscarf over the band and for added security, particularly with scarves, tuck the front of your headscarf under the headband to prevent it from slipping.
Here's a before and after:

Choose an extension length that feels comfortable, remember the longer the extension the heavier it can feel. You can shop a range of extension lengths from Naturyl Extensions (12-18 inches) and they're made from remy human hair which are beautifully soft and look so natural. We advise against going for synthetic extensions as 1) they don't look natural and 2) they tangle easily. It's the quickest and fastest way to beat hair loss from chemotherapy, you can apply and remove it in under a minute.
