Hair loss is a common but often distressing condition. It can play a huge role in identity, confidence and self-esteem. The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) says that 50 million American men experience hereditary hair loss. Known as pattern baldness, this type of hair loss also affects 30 million women in the United States.
Pattern baldness, the most common type of hair loss, has genetic and hormonal factors. However, some types of hair loss are related to stress. According to the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER), three types of hair loss are linked to high levels of stress: telogen effluvium (TE), trichtotillomania (TTM) and alopecia areata.
Hereditary hair loss occurs in a typical pattern such as a receding hairline, wide part or hair loss on top of the scalp. Other types involve sudden hair loss or patchy, bald spots. When a medical problem causes baldness, treating the underlying condition may stop hair loss and enable hair growth.
For some types of baldness, hair growth may resume without treatment. For others, treatments may hide hair loss or encourage new growth. Prescription drugs and scalp surgeries are the most common medical treatments. Some people use nutritional supplements and other holistic remedies. Wigs and hairpieces are popular, non-surgical alternatives.
AdventHair.com is a good example of the many online retailers for hair replacement systems. These companies manufacture and distribute all types of hairpieces for men and women. Many of them sell their hair systems to individual wearers as well as salon resellers.
Most companies offer both custom and stock hairpieces, from toupees and partial frontals to natural wigs and lace front systems. Some retailers also sell clip-on hair extensions. Custom hair systems allow people to express themselves with color, texture, length and highlights. Stock hair units offer a good fit without additional costs or wait time.
In addition to hairpieces and wigs, most hair replacement companies sell wig glue, hairpiece tape, shampoos and other supplies. Customers can choose from a variety of prices and payment methods, and they receive their orders in discrete packaging.
Researching non-surgical hair replacement is the first step in finding a treatment for hereditary or other types of hair loss. While the sheer number of choices can seem overwhelming, hairpieces are a less costly alternative to surgery and prescription drugs. With the many high quality products on the market today, finding a natural-looking solution has never been easier.
