Everything You Should Know about Hair Replacement

Everything You Should Know about Hair Replacement

A look into the types of hair loss and different treatments that is available for hair loss.

For many people losing hair can be an extremely upsetting and disturbing experience. People who suffer from hair loss usually experience forms of anxiety as a result of losing their hair. This is often a very mild feeling of insecurity or may be apparent as a loss of confidence. This is because many people believe that if they lose their hair that people perceive them differently to when they have a full head of hair.

The fact is that in many cases people do have a different perception of someone that has lost their hair but in reality the effect of this is minimal.

Nevertheless the psychological effects of losing hair should not be understated. Both men and women experience a loss of confidence as a result of hair loss and this is because for many their hair is considered a vital part of their sexuality. For both men and women hair is associated with sexuality and those without hair often feel that they are not as sexy as they were with a full head of hair.

It is fair to say that this tends to affect women more often than it affects men. Women are generally less prone to hair loss than men and because there are lots of cases in which men lose their hair it is in some ways more widely accepted in our culture. The negative image of baldness is somewhat surprising when compared to the image of hair loss in primates.

Gorillas actually revere members of their social group that are balding. Indeed gorillas have been found to rub their heads against hard objects in an attempt to reduce the thickness of their hair. This is seen to make them more attractive to the opposite sex. Why is this not always the case with humans?

Causes

One of the main causes of hair loss is as a result of hereditary factors. Male pattern baldness is the most common form of hair loss and there are hundreds of thousands of men that experience this type of hair loss. It is considered a natural form of hair loss and many people decide against a course of action and accept it. Pattern baldness also happens to women but far fewer women suffer this form of hair loss as men.

Another cause of hair loss is trichotillomania. This is a disease in which people that suffer compulsively pull out their own hair. The hair loss that is caused by this disease tends to leave bald on the sufferers head in the areas in which the hair was pulled out. The positive thing about this type of hair loss is that the hair can usually grow back providing the sufferer is able to stop pulling it out. Another form of hair loss that is often experienced is that caused by radiation as a result of treatment for cancer. This type of hair loss can be particularly upsetting but usually clears up after treatment has ended.


Hair replacement techniques

Hair transplant surgery has been around for around one hundred years. In medical terms it is a very young discipline and as a result it has experienced a great number of advancements in recent years. The techniques that are used have been updated and amended throughout the years and as a result refinements in the ways procedures are carried out are happening all the time.

Techniques have developed to the extent where people can have hair replacement surgery and the results can compare to the look of natural hair.

What is the Major Causes of Hair Loss in Women?

Women who lose their hair suffer far more from their hair loss than men. For women the loss of their hair can be a tragic and horrific experience. Women are raised to fix their hair and fuss over the style and look of the hair on their heads. If a woman loses her hair her self-esteem will take an extremely large blow. Society tends to look at a woman by the way that she looks, whether that is appropriate or not.

Girls learn from their older siblings or their mom how they are supposed to look and behave. When a girl sees older girls or her mom fussing over her hair and spending an inordinate amount of time on her appearance she will believe that is the correct way to behave for a woman.

That same young girl will feel terribly self conscious if she grows up to lose her hair. She will no longer be able to look in the mirror and see the woman she is supposed to be.

Hair loss in women is very common. This has caused a great deal of research and treatments to be developed for female hair loss. You can ask your doctor for the causes of your hair loss.

Women will lose their hair for many different reasons than men. Men will lose their hair based on genetic factors and in women it is generally different reasons.


The main reasons for hair loss in women are illness, diet, stress, hormones and medications. Stress is the biggest reason why a woman will lose her hair. If you are experiencing a hair loss you should work to reduce the amount of stress in your life.

Women today live very stressful lives. From trying to hold down a job and take care of the needs of their family they are facing a very busy and demanding schedule. Keeping everything on an even keel and well balanced is a struggle that many women battle every day. Many women will begin to find it difficult to take care of themselves while they are trying to take care of everything else. Her diet may suffer and she will not get the proper rest that her body requires.

Hair needs nutrition to be strong and healthy. If you neglect the nutrition in your diet you hair will begin to suffer the consequences.


It is a good idea to make an appointment with your doctor if you are suffering from hair loss. The cause could be an undiagnosed illness. Your doctor can make a determination if the cause of your hair loss is illness. There might be a treatment for the condition that is causing your hair loss.

As a woman gets older her hair will begin to thin. Many times the hair will also begin to fall out. This hair loss will usually begin to happen at around fifty. There are options for this type of hair loss. Visit with a dermatologist to find a solution that will work for you.

Hormone changes can also cause a hair loss in some women. You can usually find a good option from your doctor for this type of hair loss. Doctors can find solutions for hormones that have gotten out of balance.

Medications will also cause a hair loss in some women. You should know the side effects of any medication that you are taking. If you are experiencing a hair loss, check with your doctor to determine if the medication is the cause. There may be some substitutions that can be made.

Women’s Hair Loss: Causes and Natural Cures

These days not only men are losing there hair but it is also women who are experiencing hair loss. There are not many products available for a woman at the moment, due to the simple fact that it is not a very common occurrence. This being said there are a lot of natural solutions that are available to help get your hair back and growing strong. The reason that women actually lose there hair is because of the fact that blood flow is decreased to there hair follicles. This being said there is lots of ways to get your blood flowing correctly and sending the correct energy to the top of your head.

Firstly you will have to consider the underlying cause of hair loss. What is causing your blood flow to be restricted, are you stressed at work? Do you live in a big city centre where pollution is at its peak? Before any solution or natural treatment should commence you should firstly try to find the cause and then try stripping that out of your life. If you are living in a polluted area think about getting a flat outside of the area to help your lifestyle.

You should also take into account the current products you are using, try to use top of the range products which you know will be good for your hair. I always see a lot of women brushing there hair with anger ripping out strands after strands. No matter how many knots you have you should try to keep calm and slowly comb through them, also I know some women have really down days but one of the biggest causes of hair loss is actually pulling your hair back, this causes the follicles to be put under enormous stress and they just end up collapsing.

If none of the above has worked you can try a wide variety of natural home made products such as rosemary, oat extract and horsetail these are great for strengthening up your immune system and they are rich in minerals, which is the key to having strong nails and hair. Whichever option you decide to take you should always remember to keep a balanced and healthy diet, if you keep feeding your body junk and oil it will end up showing on the outer layers of your body. So the three steps you need to take are find the cause, eliminate the problem if this still does not work try the natural mentioned solutions.

Step by Step Guide: How to order a stunning customized full lace wig

The key issue today is –How do you go about ordering a stunning customized full lace wig? but, as you know now "There’s always a first time for everything, buying a customized full lace wig is not exceptional".

A custom-made lace wig is your best bet to looking great. You can choose to have any style, colour and hair type that you prefer. It is almost like choosing your clothes and accessories for a grand event.

However, there are a few essential points you have to know to order that perfect front lace unit.

Know your head shape

Different wigs suit different head shapes. Check yours. Is your head pear-shaped, round, square, heart-shaped, oblong or oval? If you are not sure, stand in front of the mirror and take a good look at your face. Sketch what you see to help you decide. Try on dummy wigs to see what suits you best. Don't go by the modeled wigs, it may not be the best ones for you.

Measure your head

You can choose to do this on your own or get help. Get the measurement of the circumference of your head, ear to ear across the head, ear to ear across the forehead, front to nape, temple to temple round back, and the nape of neck.

Choose your hair type

Custom wigs are available in human hair, synthetic and blend of both human and synthetic. You have to decide what you prefer. This depends on your original hair texture as well. Keep it as close to the original so that it does not look like a fake. Remember, a wig can be stylish and in keeping with trends without looking unnatural.

Choose your hair style

Do you want it straight, curly, wavy, in ringlets? You can have any style you want. Go ahead and experiment.

Choose your hair colour


What's your preference? Is it blonde or black? Or do you think a hint of red will look great? You decide on this one as well.

Decide on hair density.

This would depend on your hair length, colour and type. Normal density is between 80-100 % for a full lace wig. Especially for those suffering with hair loss you can get a wig with thick hair instead.

Choose a base for your wig

You can decide on Swiss lace or French lace with the former being more delicate and the latter more durable.

Decide on the hair adhesive.

This is used to attach the unit to your scalp. Choices range from glues and tapes depending on your preference.

Now that you have done all this, go ahead order your lace front unit.

The best part of custom-made wigs is that you can order multiple wigs at one go. You have the choice of creating different looks to suit different occasions. Can it get any better than that?

Hair loss is a massive problem whether you are man or woman, young or old, black or white. It can affect anyone. Being bald is a globe issue for great concern.

This concern is even bigger if you are woman. In order to solve this problem – or at least to decrease its psychological effects – there are wigs, and come in varies types to suit everyone i.e. toupee for men, full lace wigs or synthetic wigs for women

Wigs date from the old Egyptian people that used to shave their heads in order to avoid diseases. In order to protect theirs heads from the sun, they prepared some protection made of fur to cover their heads. These protections are what we call wigs today.

Some people may even be prejudiced about wigs, but it is no big deal to have to wear one. In fact, wearing wigs can be a fun thing since you can look different anytime you want. Believe me: it can be fun!

The aesthetic look caused by the use of a wig can be attractive to many people, even for those who say they don’t agree with that. Wearing a wig may be a matter of keeping the self-esteem high. And this is especially with women, who tend to be more worried about the appearance.

In Ancient Europe, wearing a wig was a sign of nobility. The richest people wore wigs. The king wore wigs. So, why not wearing a wig nowadays?

It’s nobody’s fault to suffer hair loss. However, something can be done and the solution lies on wearing a wig. It doesn’t matter if you are man or woman, it doesn’t matter what your friends are going to say. The only thing that matters is you to feel comfortable about your look.

There are many types of wig for you to choose. The wig can be made of natural human hair or synthetic material. Besides, you can choose if you want to wear short, medium or long lengths.

In addition to that, the technique of making a wig has improved and there are some types that don’t seem to be a wig at all.

To conclude I will reckon that wearing a wig is no longer a taboo, but fashionable and sometimes sexy. My concision is supported by the long list of super stars that currently wear full lace wigs for varies occasions and all look stunning.
