Understanding Hair Loss

Many women are unaware that there are solutions beyond wigs, such as hair toppers for hair loss coverage. We are beginning to see that more and more women suffering from hair loss are using toppers that blend naturally to provide coverage in the top areas of the head. You can get just the right amount of coverage you need based of the specific measurements of your area of hair loss. Our hair toppers and top pieces range from minimal coverage to full coverage and everywhere in between.

Hair loss is unique to each person and there are different levels of hair loss that both men and women can experience. You may be wondering what causes hair loss? Hair loss can be temporary or permanent and can be caused from a variety of sources such as genetics, prescription medications, anemia, pregnancy, stress, diet, cancer treatments, and more. Top pieces are a great solution for localized hair loss. If hair loss is more extensive or diffuse, wigs will be ideal.

Hair Loss by the Numbers

Although anyone can experience hair loss, women make up 40% of American hair loss sufferers -- 1 in 4 women in the U.S. (source: American Hair Loss Association). It may not be uncommon, but it can be upsetting. Unless you've experienced hair loss first-hand, it can be difficult to grasp the emotional toll it can take. For many of us, hair can be a surprisingly important part of our identity and for women, our sense of femininity.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the average person loses anywhere from 50 to 100 strands of hair each day - sometimes even 250 strands on hair washing days. But, hair loss becomes noticeable when the rate of shedding exceeds the rate of regrowth or when regrowth is thinner than previous.

What Alternative Hair Option Is Right For Me?

Each person’s hair loss journey is unique and requires different alternative hair solutions. Depending on the desired level of coverage, toppers are a great option for those that still want to show their biological hair but would like to add some volume.

At Wigs.com, we categorize our hair toppers into 3 categories based on the amount of coverage and volume to your look that they will provide.
