If given the
choice, no one would want to lose hair due to medical reasons. Hair loss
can be a crisis that's hard for many to take. The right wig can make
all the difference in the world – boosting self-esteem, even helping the
healing process for chemotherapy patients.
Living with Alopecia can be very
stressful as well. Feelings towards baldness have been devastatingly
negative as most view hair loss as a sign of weakness. Most Alopecia
patients are not frail. Alopecia is an autoimmune disease that causes a
person to lose their hair as the immune system destroys the hair
follicles.
Egypt Lawson, co-owner of Hairline
Illusions, has been making and designing cranial prosthetics for over 2
decades and have listen to the stories from many patients. They have
expressed to her how upsetting it is to experience their hair falling
out in the shower and chunks of hair coming out when they brush. How
their scalps ache and they can’t wear traditional wigs because of how
much they hurt. How the experience of loosing hair robbed their
confidence and self esteem. How they dreamt at night about still having
their lovely hair only to wake up to a nightmare of realizing their hair
is gone. One cancer patient shared as she looked in the mirror, she
didn’t see herself anymore, she saw a feeble cancer victim. But after
she received her natural looking wig from us she felt like a real woman –
she felt whole again and her life was less stressful!
Yet the medical industry doesn’t accept
hair loss as a vital medical problem and disregards the real distresses
endured by so many.
So with that in mind our mission is to produce the Healing Cap Cranial Prosthesis a realistic looking medical wig for those suffering from Alopecia and Cancer to help aid scalps and restore confidence.
Introducing the World's First Healing Cap® Cranial Prosthesis and the Disposable Healing Cap®
What is a Healing Cap® Cranial Prosthesis?
It's a medical wig used to stimulate the
scalp and aid infected sebaceous glands in the skin and protect scarred
tissue from bacteria, microorganisms-inducing extra collagen production
in the scar tissue.
What is a Disposable Healing Cap®?
The Disposable Healing Caps are similar
to the cap of the wig. You can wear it under your own wig, scarf or hat.
They are reusable and will last about a month. Pre-Order now and save!
What is made of?
The Healing Cap Cranial Prosthesis “Medical Wigs”
foundation is made of medical formulated polymers that mimics skin. It
is flexible, breathable, washable and reusable. Human hair or hair fiber
is used on the outer-side of the foundation.
The Healing Cap is made with a variation of
medical formulated polymers that mimics skin. It’s also flexible,
washable and reusable.
How to use it?
Apply Healing Cap Medical Wig on scalp
for a minimum of 4 hours a day up to 4 days. Clean inside of the cap
with base cleaner and dry with towel before reapplying. So far patient
results have varied from 1 week to 2 months depending on how long the
patient wore the wig.
Wear the Healing Cap under your regular
wig, hat or scarf to protect your scalp. The cap should be worn for at
least 10 hours a day for 3 days. Clean inside of the cap with base
cleaner and dry with towel before reapplying.

The Healing Cap Cranial Prosthesis will come in 4
sizes: Children, Adult - small, medium and large. Custom sizes will also
be offered. Initially, Healing Cap will come in 2 sizes: Children and
Adult. Later we will offer more sizes.
Challenges
Production and Technical Challenges
From
the conceptual stage we have done tons of research on developing the
Healing Cap® and Healing Cap® Medical Wig. A few volunteers have tried
the first trial version with good feedback. We require the cap to have
different strengths for adults and children and have consulted with
engineers to sort out issues including accurate materials with
formulation and availability for mass production.
Objectives
A Healing Cap® for every cancer and Alopecia patient with scalp issues
With
your support, our objective is to make the Healing Cap® the standard.
After the first production run the Healing Caps® will be given to
participating physicians and organizations to distribute to hair loss
patients for feedback. After we launch eventually physicians, pharmacies
and hospitals will make the Healing Cap® accessible to patients.
Why the Healing Cap® Cranial Prosthesis?
It is estimated that approximately two
percent of the population will be affected with Alopecia - over 4.5
million people in the United States. Alopecia is a autoimmune disease
such as diabetes or lupus that causes a person to lose their hair as the
immune system destroys the hair follicles. Hair can fall out in small
areas, clumps or may lead to severe hair loss. Anyone can be affected by
alopecia. Some people may have an increased risk if they have a family
history of the disease. Children and young adults are also commonly
affected. Scalp infections and rashes can develop in Alopecia patients.
The Healing Cap Cranial Prosthesis can aid Alopecia sufferers of this
common problem.
According to Cancer.org the Estimated
cancer prevalence in the United States as of January 1, 2009 is
12,549,000 men and women. Chemotherapy patients can loose their hair as
well as develop folliculitis (inflammation of a hair follicle) and head
sores. The Healing Cap Cranial Prosthesis can aid chemotherapy patients
suffering from these issues.
The Healing Cap Cranial Prosthesis can
also help with emotional pain of patients who suffer from hair loss,
because they look extremely realistic - Enhancing one's self-confidence
and positive self-image.
The Healing Cap Cranial Prosthesis can be the answer to many of these problems.
The Healing Cap® Cranial Prosthesis VS. Traditional Hair Replacement Wigs
Hairline Illusions™ unique Healing Cap `Scalp prostheses' differ from wigs, in many ways.
The Healing Cap Cranial Prosthesis can aid in healing
scalp rashes, acne and infections by protecting scarred tissue from
bacteria and preventing microorganisms-inducing extra collagen
production in the scar tissue.

protect disease-weakened immune systems from the sun, and to regulate
body temperature.

In addition to the physical ailments, the emotional
and psychological pain of being bald especially for women and young
children is beyond measure. For the person who wants the chance to lead
a physically healthy life, free of emotional torment, the traditional
wig is not an option. What is the alternative for the woman or young
child suffering from these afflictions?
The answer is the “Healing Cap® Cranial Prosthesis.”
To minimize the damaging effects of the aforementioned ailments
Hairline Illusions, a local wig manufacturer, has effectively created a
replacement scalp, and like a healthy scalp, the Healing Cap® Cranial
Prosthesis can accomplish the following physical benefits:
1. Can stimulate healing of the scalp from the effects of burns, chemotherapy and alopecia
2. Can aid in healing scalp rashes, acne and infections.
3. Can protect scarred tissue from bacteria, microorganisms-inducing extra collagen production in the scar tissue
4. Mimics scalp and looks extremely natural – as if the hair is growing from the scalp.
The elimination of the
emotional pain and embarrassment brought on by hair loss and baldness
may be the greatest benefit of all, especially for women and young
children.
Following our inspiration for providing
premium problem solving products for women with hair loss, we have
developed a diverse base design that looks extremely natural. We have
beta tested several versions of our Healing Cap through due diligence
and have had an abundance of positive feedback and some great
testimonials praising us on the affects of our product.
We need your help to fund the
manufacturing and development of at least 10 Healing Caps to give to
physicians for patient trials. The follow-up research will enable us to
refine the design for a more economical version for mass production.
After we have confirmed the design, we will mass produce a more affordable Healing Cap medical wig.
Front, Top and Side of Cranial Prosthesis
Patients are able to wear their hair off
the face in many hairstyles!Human hair is collected locally enabling us
to have full control over the quality of the hair.
We appreciate your pledges to continue
the development for the final scalp prosthesis designed for mass
production and are passionate to move this idea forward. We know with R
and D funding we can accelerate the process of creating a scalp
prosthesis that can better the lives of many.
The Healing Cap Cranial Prosthesis can be the best and economical substitute for surgery, hair transplant or hair weaving.
Traditional Hair Replacement Wigs can be
hot, sweaty, and unrealistic plus cause even more irritation and
infections of the scalp from the friction of the wig foundation and
chemicals used to treat the hair.
We would like to mass-produce the Healing Cap Scalp Prosthesis and we want it to be perfect.
Making prototypes, formulating, molding
and more testing is required to perfect the therapeutic base of the wig.
The wigs need to last longer and wear well.
It has taken a lot of hard work and alterations to make it this far. Now we require your support.
