Synthetics And Hair Pieces For Alopecia

By Leslie Ball


Baldness can be a choice or a condition. The condition of losing volumes of strands of hair is called Alopecia Areata. Research show that the person who has it has defective immune systems that attack the follicles. The follicles make hair growth possible and without it, baldness of the scalp occurs.

The follicles are responsible in making it grow. There is no exact explanation why this happens, neither do they have a cure for this condition. Hair pieces for Alopecia is the only known solution. These hair pieces may include wigs or hair extensions. There are so many new commercial synthetic artificial hair that can help cover the baldness at least.

A lot of strands can be taken off from the scalp when this happens. There are times when it grows again after a few months or a year. But there is no guarantee that everything will be back to the normal volume or length. In some cases, it will never grow back making them entirely bald.

Family history, abnormal nail texture and skin color, and a previous autoimmune disease can be the direct causes of Alopecia. There are times when some grow back on one side and then falls off on another. This can be really frustrating and it happens to both men and women.

They say that it is the crowning glory. Young people who are bald, especially females are made fun of. This is because people appreciate others more especially if they have beautiful crowning glory. It adds to the physical character of a person. There are others who are also psychologically affected with their ordeal. And they feel self pity in the process.

Those who already have known about the illness because they have a family history may be able to accept it faster because they have understood about it and they can find comfort from that family member. For those who are the first in their family to have the condition, it might be very difficult to accept. Analysis and blood tests come soon after the diagnosis. The doctors want to make sure that there are no other more dangerous illnesses related to this.

Synthetics, wigs, and artificial hairpieces can help the person look better and possibly feel better. There are a lot of commercially available wigs that look real and stylish. There are also some products that may help in growing back some hair. The patient can try all these but with the cosmetic products that can be bought over the counter, they have to consult their doctor first.

A lot of styling experts can help them with their condition. Sometimes, hairstyling skills is the answer. Often times, if the head is already bald, they resort to hats and caps. However, they may not be able to wear them indoors.

It is not the end of the world if one loses the crowning glory. It is not a deadly disease, it just takes away a lot of confidence. Even so, one must be confident still. Beauty depends on projection and confidence.
