Styling Your Image After Hair Loss

Styling options for women with hair loss.

Whether it’s long flowing locks, platinum-tipped spikes, or silver-streaked tresses, our hair is often a significant part of how others see us and how we see ourselves. Cancer, chemotherapy, female pattern balding, and alopecia cause temporary or permanent hair loss in women. Many women with hair loss are emotionally fragile during this time – not only are they fighting for their lives, they feel extremely vulnerable.

As emotionally draining as hair loss is, current attitudes and trends embrace individuality – a respect for women’s choices about their appearance. Here are some of the ways to style your new appearance with confidence:

Reproduce it

With a high-quality wig, we recreate your natural cut, color, and style, offering a much-needed sense of continuity. Custom-fitted human hair wigs provide a realistic appearance and feel. Furthermore, medical wigs (hair prostheses) for cancer patients or other health conditions may qualify for health insurance coverage. The best time to get fitted for a custom wig is when your physician prescribes treatment. That way, your hairpiece is ready when you need it.

Reinvent it

A woman having long hair her entire life, suddenly facing hair loss, can reemerge with a completely different look. Maybe it’s a pixie cut or a wig in a completely different color and style than before. A complete change can feel like a step in the right direction for some women embarking on an unknown journey.

Own it

When embracing diversity, many brave women with hair loss decide to own their baldness with fearless ferocity. Instead of covering up or dressing up their hairless heads, they confidently show them off and dare anyone to judge their decision. This approach can be terrifying for some but incredibly liberating for other women. Be sure to protect the delicate scalp from direct sunlight and cold weather.

Dress it up

Large hats, scarves, and sunglasses aren’t new to women suffering hair loss. They are a comfort, a shield that helps avoid attention. These days, attitude is everything; you can proudly wear a scarf, cap, bandana, or wide-brimmed straw hat as an accessory, not as a disguise. Whether it’s a signature scarf or an elegant turban, countless products protect the scalp while making a fashion statement.
