The Perfect Solution for Restoring Confidence and Volume

When most people think of alopecia, they think of complete hair loss that would need a wig to correct. This is what it leads to for most people, but it can be a long process, especially if you have thick hair to begin with. As you start losing your hair, your scalp will begin to show through in places. This can cause a huge loss of confidence as people with alopecia don’t feel like themselves with patches of their hair missing. Choosing to use hair toppers, enclosures, or integration systems such as tape-ins, fusions, or wefts can effectively conceal bald spots and restore volume. These solutions allow for a seamless blend with your existing hair, helping you feel more like yourself again. While you may still need a full wig in the future, toppers and integration systems can be used from the early stages, with more additions as your hair loss progresses.

Skip any Social Awkwardness with Alopecia Hair Extensions

Things are going in the right direction, but there’s still a taboo around balding heads. People may stare or assume you’re losing your hair as a result of chemotherapy. While some people can proudly rock a bald head, it’s not for everyone, and especially while you’re first adjusting to hair thinning with alopecia, any stares can knock your confidence. Hair extensions to cover bald spots can help you carry on as normal without feeling like you have to explain what alopecia is to anyone who looks at you twice. By restoring volume to your hair with alopecia hair extensions, you’re back in control of who you tell and when. This lets you gradually come to terms with the reality of living with alopecia and you can tell people slowly once you’ve taken it all in.

Tips on Choosing the Right Extensions

So you’ve decided to utilize hair extensions for alopecia to boost volume, now what? First of all, choosing human hair over synthetic will ensure your extensions look and feel natural, just like the hair you’re used to. Human hair is low maintenance, and you can use your usual styling techniques. It can also be colored easily so a perfect match to your existing hair is simple to achieve. They’ll last up to 2 to 3 years depending on the type of hair extension and assuming you follow all your stylist’s guidelines for taking care of them.

When it comes to application, as long as you choose a stylist with expertise, they’ll be able to talk you through what’s best. There are many options from tape-in extensions to sew-ins. The best application for you will depend on how much hair loss you’ve experienced, and your lifestyle. If the wrong process is used, then there will be too much weight on your hair, which could cause further loss and breakage. This is why you should expect a stylist to ask many questions in your initial consultation so they have the full picture and can help you get back to your most confident self. At Indulge Salon, that’s what we have a passion for. Get in touch with our amazing team here to get started.

If you’ve been struggling with this condition, we understand that it’s likely having an impact on your confidence. Pulling hair isn’t something people can control, and they then feel embarrassed and upset when they begin seeing bald patches, usually beginning around the crown of the head. At Indulge, we’re proud to be a trichotillomania hair salon that uses extensions to restore hair loss due to the condition. We have a huge choice of extensions and application methods so whatever stage you have reached with your hair loss, we can help. We have hair extensions for trichotillomania such as tape-ins which build lost volume quickly as each tape provides a large swatch of quality hair. We also have cylinder extensions that cover your existing hair and clamp up at the root. These are lightweight and don’t have the damage risk of adhesives, so can be a great choice for fragile hair which is common with trichotillomania.

How Extensions Can Help the Condition

We are a hair and beauty salon and therefore can’t treat a mental health issue, so we’d recommend reaching out to a doctor if you’re struggling. However, trichotillomania hair extensions can not only help to restore your confidence but can help with the physical act of pulling the hair. People with this condition don’t want to pull out their hair, but they feel compelled to. Most do it in private and try to hide the hair loss. When you introduce hair extensions, it makes it harder to get to your natural hair and it’s very hard to pull out extensions due to the adhesives used. Adding this barrier can help reduce the compulsion as there is no longer instant gratification. You also need to have a maintenance routine at the salon and look after the extensions well at home with moisturizing, shampooing, and brushing regularly. This helps set new hair routines which can also reduce the compulsion and help people love their hair again.

Restore Confidence with Trich Hair Extensions

At Indulge Salon, we thrive on helping our clients look and feel their best and when they’ve come to us with hair loss due to trichotillomania, it’s even more important. After training in countries around the world, our founder is confident she and her team have the skills to give you your shine back. We’ll combine trich hair extensions with our incredible hair color and styling to give you a makeover that will remind you of your beauty inside and out. During your initial consultation, we’ll talk you through the best options for you and explain the maintenance procedures. After a patch test, it’s time to install those important extensions to give you back the hair you’ve lost. Best of all, we can add extensions, cut, and color all in one day so once you’ve made the brave decision to reach out for help it won’t be long before you see the impressive results. We also offer beauty treatments in our York and Georgia salons so you can make an appointment to treat yourself and relax too, which can help your stress levels and ease your condition.

Over time, the hair will grow and stay longer with protected hair. Give them a try to see what you think.
