Hair loss can be an embarrassing condition for women, but there are many safe and effective hair replacement options available. Decide which type of hair replacement is best for you, temporary or permanent. If you are looking for surgical options, be sure to choose a credible facility with experienced surgeons.
Temporary
Temporary replacement options offer a simple approach to regaining the appearance of a full head of hair. Hair pieces and wigs are common solutions. When purchasing a wig, consider the base material. Mesh fabric is more expensive and creates a natural appearance while being light-weight, but may not last a whole lifetime. A polymer base is durable an inexpensive, but may be uncomfortable for long wear. The hair can be made of high-quality human hair, animal hair or synthetic material. Wigs can be custom-made to match hair color and texture. Do some research to be sure you are purchasing what will work best for you.
Permanent
Permanent hair loss solutions are usually surgical, but may involve the use of hormone therapy. Hair can be transplanted from the sides and back of the head, and grafted into the balding areas. Schedule a consultation with a hair transplant surgeon to find out if you would benefit from this procedure. If your hair loss is caused by hormone problems, you may be prescribed anti-androgen pills or topical treatment. It will prevent future hair loss and stimulate growth in the balding areas.
