Great Strategies for Women with Thinning Hair

Fortunately, there are now many ways for women to cope with hair loss and still look and feel great. The first step is taking action.

We tend to associate thinning hair as a problem that men face. We think of women with cancer or other significant hair loss as the only women who must deal with significant hair challenges. In fact, thinning hair is a common problem for women. It can be caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and health issues like hypothyroidism and allergies. In addition, hair loss can simply be a normal part of aging.

Fortunately, there are now many ways for women to cope with hair loss and still look and feel great. The first step is taking action. Don’t be miserable and feel bad about your hair when so many solutions are available. The worst-case scenario is you might have to try a few options before you find the one you like best. You might even find yourself likely several different approaches, depending on the season, what activities you’ll be doing, and how you plan to spend your day.

Hairpieces

Most of us are familiar with hairpieces that add a ponytail or an updo section to our existing hair. What you might not realise is there are partial wigs and hairpieces designed to add volume or cover areas of hair loss. These can complement your existing hair to give you back the full head of hair you’ve been missing.

Toppers provide coverage on the top of your head along with additional volume. They blend in with your existing hair and can be incorporated into your usual hairstyle. Toppers have the advantage of being lightweight and easy to wear. Because they cover the top section of your hair, you can match it to your hair colour or it can look like highlights. They provide additional hair volume and coverage on the top of your head, along the crown, back, and sides. This can be the perfect option for anyone experiencing either an overall loss of volume or areas where the hair has become thinner.

¾ Styled Wig

For even more coverage than a topper or enhancer-style hairpiece, try a ¾ wig. As the name implies, these cover most of the head but don’t provide complete coverage like ladies’ wigs. By covering more of your head, they provide volume to help compensate for thinner hair. They can also be used to transform a short hairstyle into a long-haired look. This can be perfect for special occasions or when you want a different hairstyle. If you have been trying to grow your hair longer, a ¾ wig can also help cover an awkward length head of hair.

Wigs

Full wigs are the classic way to cover hair loss but today’s wigs are different from what you might expect. Whether you’re looking for a fibre wig or a human hair wig, changes in wig materials have made them cooler and more comfortable while providing a more secure fit. These new technologies have made different hairstyles possible and more natural-looking.

It can be a big step to make the move to wearing a wig and so women may delay buying their first wig. This is sad because women may struggle with how their hair looks for years before taking this step. Then, once they try a wig they can suddenly feel better about their appearance.

Remember, it’s only hair but how you feel is important and it can impact other areas of your life. Plenty of women routinely wear wigs for alopecia simply because it allows them the freedom to experiment with more hairstyles. You can do the same.
