Common Medical Related Forms Of Hair Loss

Cancer Related Hair Loss (Chemotherapy)

For most patients undergoing chemotherapy hair will begin to fall out within 10 to 14 days after treatment begins. As this sudden loss of hair can be quite a shock to many patients, time and care should be taken to select a wig based solution that looks natural, is comfortable, and easy to style.

Alopecia Areata

The condition where hair is lost on some or all areas of the body, usually from the scalp. Called spot baldness due to bald patches in the first stages, 1-2% of cases can spread to entire scalp, Alopecia totalis. 50% of patients' hair will regrow in roughly a year without any treatment. While we cannot provide any medical treatment, we can offer hair replacement until the hair fully grows back or until medical treatment is complete.

Hair Replacement Solutions: Depending on the extent and positioning of hair loss on the scalp clients may opt for either a hairpiece or hair extension package to add fullness to areas where the hair is thinning. We can work around the patches to attach hair to ensure that patches are not visible. We can also create a piece to cover a patch of any size, whether it be large or small. As we cannot attest for all of our alopecia clients, some do find that their hair has grown underneath the hair piece and/or extensions due to less visibility and stress.

Male Pattern Baldness:

The onset of this condition can begin anywhere between the ages of 20 to 45. Hair loss develops in a series of stages as seen in the image below.

Female Pattern Baldness

This form of hair loss is usually limited to the front, sides, or crown area of the scalp. Unlike male pattern baldness, hair tends to thin rather than fall out completely.

Trichotillomania

"Trich" as it is commonly known, is an impulse control disorder characterized by the repeated urge to pull out scalp hair, eyelashes, facial hair, nose hair, eyebrows or other body hair, sometimes resulting in noticeable bald patches.

Hair Replacement Solutions: Similar to alopecia and pattern baldness, depending on the extent and positioning of hair loss on the scalp clients may opt for either a hairpiece or hair extension package to add fullness to areas where the hair is thinning. We can work around the patches to attach hair to ensure that patches are not visible. We can also create a piece to cover a patch of any size, whether it be large or small. As we cannot garuntee that this replacement will stop the compulsion, we can offer temporary or permanent replacement until treatment is complete.
