Frequently Asked Questions

What is a band fall?

A band fall is a wig attached to a headband instead of a lace front. The band covers the front where a hairline would usually be, so there's nothing to blend, glue or tape. You just put it on and go.

Do I need a wig cap or liner under my band fall?

Nope. The cap is built into the wig, so there's nothing to wear underneath. That's the whole idea. Liners are usually there to hide how uncomfortable a wig is, and ours doesn't need hiding.

Why does my wig keep slipping?

With most wigs, it's the wrong liner or wrong technique. Nylon liners are slippery, and extra layers give the wig more room to shift. wHAIRables have the cap and grips built in, and the grips run in opposite directions like a running shoe tread, so it stays secure.

Is a band fall good for chemo or alopecia?

Yes. It's one of the easiest styles to wear when you don't have hair. There's no hairline to match, and the soft built-in cap is gentle on a sensitive scalp.

Where should the band sit if I don't have a hairline?

Place three fingers on your forehead just above your eyebrow. The front of the band goes right above your top finger for a natural look.

Can I workout in it?

Yes. The grips are designed to hold through movement, and the breathable cap keeps things cooler than a wig and liner combo.

Is a band fall covered by insurance?

Oftentimes, yes. It qualifies as a cranial prosthesis, which is the term insurance plans use for a medical wig. Ask your oncologist for a prescription for a cranial prosthesis with your ICD-10 code, then check with your plan on how many they cover per year and whether you pay up front and get reimbursed.
