WHAT IS HAIR LOSS SUFFERING IN SILENCE In today’s world it is socially acceptable for men to be bald. In fact, being bald is connected to positive attributes ranging from intelligence to virility. However, in most cultures; a full head of luscious hair still is the epitome of feminine beauty and even of female gender identity. When a woman loses her hair, she may feel like she is losing her identity. This can be a traumatic experience with devastating impact on a person’s self-confidence. On top of that, often there is little social and public support for hair loss. If you are not dealing with a life-threatening disease, people’s complaints about losing their hair is often overlooked and downplayed. “There’s worse than that”, “You’ll live with it”, “Girl shave it off rock that bald head”, or “It’s no big deal”, these words can be demoralizing to women struggling with hair loss. It is no surprise that 47% of hair loss sufferers would spend their life savings to regain a full head of hair and 60% would rather have their hair than money or friends. Even more unfortunately, the medical community also treats the issue of women’s hair loss as if it was nonexistent. Since hair loss does not appear to be a life threatening event, most physicians pay little attention to women’s complaints about hair loss and essentially tell their patients the same hurtful words, “you’ll just have to live with it”. When I volunteered with the American Cancer Society, they only offered synthetic wigs to the patients. The general consensus was that the patients should be glad to have this free wig that is offered to them. Their hair will grow back eventually, right? In my time of volunteering I can truly say all these women wanted was a real natural looking wig. Causes of Hair Loss From crowning glory to terrifying nightmares, here are some reasons why a woman can lose her hair: Hereditary hair loss, which means it can be inherited from a parent. Hair cosmetics with harsh chemicals. Illnesses and medications, like Alopecia, cancer and chemotherapy. Self-infliction, hair pulling also known as trichoitmilla and (traction alopecia) where constant pressure is causing the hair to fall out (wearing certain hairstyles, such as tight braids or tight ponytails). Hormone-related disorders, such as Thyroid disease or high stress levels. Autoimmune diseases. During pregnancy and during menopause women can lose their hair. Poor nutrition and rapid weight loss can also contribute to hair loss. In addition, allergies are a risining cause for concern, they can also result in hair loss. Diagnosis of Hair Loss When these concerns persist, a woman who suffers from hair loss generally will consult a dermatologist for a proper treatment plan. In most cases some hair loss can be reversed if discovered in time. However, generally speaking, no doctor is needed to validate the first signs of hair loss, which often can push a woman into a state of high alert, if not panic. The signs are first experienced in the privacy of the bedroom or bathroom; she wakes up in the morning to find hair on the pillow. Then she notices excessive hair loss when washing and brushing her hair. Her once full ponytail suddenly looks thinner or her part is widening. Ways to combat Hair Loss First thing is to figure out what is causing your hair loss. Typically during high-stress periods of life, we’re suffering from a vitamin deficiency as well. Make sure that you take your needed vitamins, eat a well balanced diet, rest and remove yourself from any situation or people who bring negativity to your life, visit your doctor, and do your best to be as healthy as possible. During this period of hair loss, avoid heavy hair products as they can weigh your hair down, and cause it to be thinner. Be gentle when caring for your hair during this time to avoid losing more hair, and most importantly, be patient! We all suffer from stress, but as long as we take care of ourselves as we go through the motions, we can manage it and experience happy times. Ways To Increase Hair Growth Even if you’re going through a stressful time in life, there are ways to curb that and still promote hair growth in your life. Always remember that hair growth takes time, and the remaining patient during your journey is essential. With that being said, here are some ways to increase hair growth. Shampoo: Use a shampoo that has natural ingredients and is sulfate, alcohol and paraben free. Take the time to read the labels. Conditioner: Every-time that you wash your hair use a conditioner. Conditioners assist in replacing lipids and proteins within your hair and prevent more damage from occurring. Don’t Over Shampoo: Don’t shampoo every time you shower. Washing your hair with shampoo too often can cause your scalp to lose its natural oils, and strip your hair of its moisture. More tips! Take Hair Vitamins: If you haven’t tried using hair supplements, you might want to try incorporating some into your diet. Eating healthy will increase the benefits of the supplements as well! Also, just to make sure you’re not interfering with any medications you may already be taking, make sure you check in with your doctor first. Trim: One of the primary methods of growing healthy hair is to trim it often. I remember being a child obsessed with how long my hair could grow

The Cancer Client– In most cases, after chemotherapy treatments are done these women will see their hair grow back, so their choices for wigs usually temporary, a year or so. It is recommended that women have two good wigs as they will last longer, and when one of them needs repair, they can have a backup wig to wear. There is hope for these clients because their hair will grow back, so these women may want a wig that looks like their old hairstyle before cancer took their hair, so ask the client to bring in pictures of themselves or magazines of hairstyles they want to try out. The Alopecia Areata Client– We cover any clients diagnosed with this type of disorder who will lose all or some of their hair, and some women may have patches of hair missing. These people need a permanent solution for their hair loss because it can be complicated to deal with.

It is not a traditional fashion wig worn by most but rather a specially designed head covering made for people who have lost their hair. A cranial hair prosthesis is a specially designed head covering that restores hair on the head and gives the wearer a natural-looking head of hair. The cranial prosthesis also aids in the regulation of body temperature and protects the scalp against outdoor elements. A cranial prosthesis offers patients who’ve lost their hair a high-quality, comfortable prosthesis to replace hair that is lost. In most cases, health insurance companies usually cover the cost, but they require a medical prescription from your medical provider first. THE TYPES OF CRANIAL HAIR PROSTHESIS WE OFFER Since we believe that each person is unique, we don’t have a one size fits all approach to help you to regain hair. We offer different types of cranial hair prosthesis (medical wigs). We have what are called full lace wigs, meaning that each strand(s) of hair are individually hand knotted onto this base of soft lace bases, called French, Swiss, and Opera. These laces’ skin ranges in colors from transparent to light brown, medium, and dark brown and are lightweight and breathable. The second type of cranial hair prosthesis is called lace front wigs, meaning they have individually hand-knotted hair to the front of the lace base with wefting tracks in the back. They are called frontals, but our frontals give our clients more styling versatility and measure approximately 13 in. X 4 in. 4×4, 5×5, and 6×6 closures, Each cap will vary in style, size, and design. Third is what is called a hair integration system; the system allowing the wears to include some of their bio hair is an excellent option for people looking for freedom in hair styling. These types of hair systems are crafted to match clients’ hair color and texture. Cranial hair prosthesis or integrations systems are for people experiencing hair loss in the crown area or total hair loss that does not conceal the entire scalp; it is usually integrated with clients’ remaining hair on the sides and back.

Have a look and treat yourself. WIG CARE TIPS The way you take care of your wig is largely dependent on what it is made out of. If you have a human hair wig, you can wash it with regular shampoos and conditioner, and in general treat it like your natural hair. However, since the hair is no longer receiving nutrients from the scalp, it is essential to be extremely gentle, and avoid over-combing (avoid combing at all if it is wet). However, when your wig is dry, be sure to comb it gently on a regular basis to prevent matting, particularly at the back of the neck. Never use synthetic wig cleaner on a human hair wig!! Not many people sleep in their wigs, but if feel like you must then consider purchasing our wig bonnets here. Proper storage techniques are another wig care essential! There are a few different ways you can store your wigs. When storing your wigs for long periods of time, be sure to keep them away from direct sunlight, dust, and heat. For this reason, many people choose to store their wigs safely in a closet. This allows them to keep the wigs well out of harm’s way.
