Cosmetic Solutions for Alopecia
If you’ve been diagnosed with Alopecia Areata you are already familiar with the frustration that the patchy hair loss brought on by your autoimmune condition can bring. Since it’s not easy to lose your hair in bits and pieces, what are cosmetic solutions for Alopecia? Perhaps you’ve wished to simply lose all of your hair so that you could start fresh with something like a full wig or even a unique tattoo. Consider these ideas first.
The good news is you’ve still got some natural hair to work with and professionals on your side to help you maximize your style options. From faux hair to fashionable items to wear, you’ve got a variety of cosmetic solutions for alopecia areata.
Extensions
Hair extensions are a great first line of defense against alopecia areata due to their moveable nature. With clip-in extensions, you have the option to cover patchy spots of hair as needed. Add or subtract extension wefts to balance out your hair for both volume and length so that your missing patches become invisible.
When you shop in-store you have a great chance of matching your hair to extension color and texture. Our stylists can also help you find the best positions for the extension to compliment your style and balance out any empty spots.
Wigs
Extensions are less effective when missing spots of hair are large and on the top of the head. If you are looking to cover a large, exposed area of the scalp, a full wig maybe your best option. Full wigs can give you a boost of confidence as you know your hair loss is completely covered for the day. They also make styling easy as you can style your wig on the stand and then put it on when you’re ready to go.
Headbands
A strategically placed headband is a non-hair accessory that can help cover thin or missing patches. For a quick, on-the-go solution that fits with current trends snag a wide hairband and place it over your scalp as needed. Styles made popular by a yoga aesthetic are perfect for wide hair coverage.
Scarves
Similarly, classic scarf and bandana hair accessories can cover wide patches of your hair for a quick, stylish alternative to wigs. Whether worn over the whole crown a la Rosie the Riveter or like a hippie kerchief, this look can be a trendy, cute option when you’re not in the mood for a complicated solution.
Hats
Instagram-worthy hats are more than enough for a great look that also covers any missing hair. Panama hats, cloches, and skater beanies all have their place in the fashion game. Rock one with the confidence to stay on-trend and feel comfortable when coping with alopecia. Looking for some cosmetic solutions for hair loss?
