Most people do not realize how
much their hair is an integral part of their self-esteem until they or a loved
one has hair loss. Hair loss for both men and women can be emotionally draining
and stressful. A woman’s hair has great deal to do with how she defines herself
which can make loosing her hair be incredibly upsetting. The way beauty is
defined in our culture places a great deal of emphasis on women having gorgeous
hair with hair tools. This results in women feeling that it is less socially acceptable
to have partial or total hair loss than their male counter parts. You will see
a lot of partially or totally bald men and not think twice about it. However if
you see a bald woman, she really stands out.
If you are a woman experiencing
hair loss, don’t be afraid to reach out for support not only from friends and
family, but also from hair loss support groups who understand what you are
experiencing.
When you recognize that you are
losing you hair, the first thing to do is to identify what is causing the
problem. Is your hair loss due to illness, the use of certain medicines,
chemotherapy, or is it hereditary? For some women their hair loss is caused by
Androgenetic Alopecia (more commonly called male pattern baldness), which can
often be treated with hair growth products. Alopecia areata, trichotillomania,
poor nutrition and medications or chemotherapy can all cause hair loss. Finding
answers to these questions can help you figure out what treatment options are
available.
Some kinds of hair loss are
temporary while others are permanent. If the hair loss is temporary due for
instance to chemotherapy treatments, a wig in a style and color to your own
hair may be a good solution. If your hair loss is going to be permanent,
understanding and accepting yourself may make the transition less painful.
Remember that those who love you now, will love you regardless of your hair
loss.
While you are on this life
changing journey, consider a new haircut that will be a flattering transition.
Some women are hesitant to start wearing wigs. It’s understandable. You might
be surprised to know how many celebrities wear hair extensions, a partial hairpiece,
or a full wig. Quality wigs are so natural looking that you will most
definitely be able to find one that best suits you.
For women who want to keep
their hair loss situation as discrete as possible, as well as for women who
simply want to experiment with their hairstyle, wigs are a great option. You
can purchase a wig and then have a hair stylist cut the wig to your liking.
