Clip Hair Extensions

In doctors word hair loss is known as Alopecia. Though the term alopecia is common for loss of hair from both body and head, yet it is the head hair that is most common worry between men and women. Thinning hair by hair loss can lead to baldness which often brings along social and aesthetic issues in a person’s life. Baldness is often seen as a mark of old age and depletes your looks thereby affecting your self confidence. From old age, the loss of hair was a social taboo that used to be treated through wigs. Wigs were false hair caps that could have been worn over head and kept in place with help of adhesive or clips. However hair wigs were an uncomfortable solution to bald heads. Today’s youth has a lot of option for hair restoration. Hair Laser treatment, hair transplant, hair weaving are all very popular treatments these days among both men and women. Hair Loss can be a result of other diseases and medications. Apart from that there are different other reasons for hair loss which includes heat damage, hereditary disorder, iron deficiency, compulsive hair pulling etc. Hair Loss due to hereditary reasons is most common among men. This includes male pattern of baldness or androgenic alopecia where hair thinning occurs on a section of the head.

Mimi, a 39-year-old single mother from Miami, Florida, wore a nonsurgical hair replacement of some type or another every day since she was a teenager.  She had a selection of wigs and clip-in hair extensions, custom made just for her particular hair type, face shape and coloring at the hair replacement studio she jointly owned and operated.Mimi suffered from Alopecia Areata since she was a little girl and swore when she grew up she was going to help people suffering from hair loss by learning how to create hair replacements that were every bit as natural and beautiful as the real hair they lost. She began to wonder if the intense staring, the rude comments and hair loss “discrimination” she had been feeling most of her life was all in her head.  Her clients reported similar stories and behavior. Just because she felt so normal, so much prettier with her hair replacement on, did that mean that the whole world was kinder and treated her better when she wasn’t bald?She decided to find out with a little experiment.  One day she took off her wig and decided to go through her normal day that way just to see what happened.  Her wig was actually a removable hair system, because after all, her family knew of her Alopecia Areata and so she could go without her hair replacement at home. Without her wig she had several large missing patches of hair and the rest of her hair was short and fuzzy. It was not at all attractive in her eyes. But Mimi didn’t care because the experiment was to find out if hair replacement made a difference in the eyes of other people. She put on her makeup and her smile, which was beautiful, wig or no wig, and she went about her day of errands and shopping.  It was almost as if Mimi forgot all about her hair … actually she did forget. And she walked into the first store having forgot that she was not wearing her hair system.But soon she was reminded. From the moment she went in the store people either looked away from her quickly and avoided her or averted their glaze purposely. Then she remembered that she didn’t have her hair replacement on. Mimi needed assistance in finding something in one store and nobody came to ask her if she needed help. When she finally went to seek out the help, the sales associate pretended not to stare at her fuzzy, patchy head all the while staring at it! By the time she left the first store she was already convinced that she needed her hair system to feel accepted in public and that no matter what anybody said, all the confidence and smiling in the world doesn’t change the attitude of the general public. She could barely drag herself through the rest of her errands feeling this way and couldn’t wait to get home.  Worrying about how you look sure can take its toll and people really make it difficult if you stand out in any way. She was grateful for her family and her own collection of hair systems.The next day, determined to complete her experiment, she worked on her hair system at her hair replacement studio and fitted in on just right. Her custom system was really beautifully made from 100% virgin human hair, cut and styled just perfectly.  But it was the way it made her feel beautiful that brought out that smile of hers again. She knew the hair system made all the difference but off she went anyway to prove it at that same store from the day before where the sales associates had ignored her. Maybe the sales associate was just bad at her job? She had to know for sure. When she walked in the store and into the aisle that associate was working, she walked up to her, smiled, flipped her hair and asked for the same product. The sales associate turned around look her straight in the eye, nodded, smiled and began to lead her to what she was looking for. A totally different experience!  In fact, that sales associate never even recognized Mimi in her hair. Point proven! She was grateful for the confidence her hair system gave her and would recommend a hair replacement to anyone who was suffering bald discrimination, real or imaginary.

 

Hair loss does not discriminate in any way.  Men, Women and Children all loose their hair in different ways.  Usually when we think of hair systems we think of the toupee for the man and a wig for a woman but this is far from the reality.

 

Many women today are experiencing hair loss for many reasons.  For some it is caused by hormonal changes, for others it is genetic but generally speaking a womanâ??s hair loss will be diffused meaning there is an overall thinning of the hair or they will experience hair loss on the top of the head somewhat like a man.  For women with hair loss there are as many options if not more than there are for men.  Women will often have hair systems designed using the same materials as used for a menâ??s system.  The main difference is usually on the shape of the base design.  Women will usually not have a pronounced recession in the front and their systems are usually in an oval or round shape.  Most women reject the idea of having their head shaved for attachment purposes and will opt for clips or tape for their attachment giving them the option to remove the system when they choose.  Another great option for women is the use of integration systems.  Integrations allow the existing hair to be pulled through the base and integrated with the hair in the system.  These systems can be made of materials that have openings as small as a quarter of an inch and go up from there.  The reason for the wide variety of opening sizes is to accommodate for any existing hair the wearer might have on their head.  Or you may find systems designed with a combination of materials and integration opening sizes based on the hair loss pattern.  For example: if the lady has very thin hair on the top but good strong hair and density on the side the option can be anything from a solid top base material with integration openings on the sides and back to a top with very small openings to integrate and larger openings on the sides and back.  For ladies with overall diffused hair loss a great option is a three quarter cap integration.  These systems are very soft, they fit on the head like a cap leaving about one inch of their hair line uncovered.  The cap is made up of cabled threads that have hair tied to them and the existing hair is pulled through the openings allowing all the hair to be integrated.  These systems can be secured by using clips, hair pins, and fusion points and in some cases the existing hair pulled through is enough to securely hold the cap on the head.

 

Any woman who is experiencing hair loss whether temporary or permanent can have the same option of regaining their hair by the use of hair systems with a variety of ready made systems as well as custom designed systems.

A hair system can be any type of borrowed hair in the form of a full wig, hairpiece, weave, hair extension or a toupee, which replaces your own missing hair. Hair systems are often the only remaining option to replace the lost hair and to regain the appearance of a full head of hair. The quality and the price of hair systems depend on a variety of factors, such as the type of hair used, the production process used to weave the wig, the foundation of the hair system and how it is attached to the scalp.

The type of hair is the first thing many buyers will ask about. Both natural and artificial hair can be used. The natural hair can be of human or animal origin. Some hair systems blend human hair with animal hair to save on cost. The human hair can be of Asian origin (the least expensive option), Indian origin or European origin (the most expensive option). Asian and Indian hair must be often bleached, which makes it brittle and less durable. Considering the harvesting methods, virgin hair is the most expensive and hair gained from combs and hairbrushes the least expensive option. Human hair requires more care than artificial hair but it looks much more authentic, lasts longer and is more comfortable to wear. Its downside is its higher cost and the fact that it can lose its colour when exposed to direct sunshine for long hours or break, as normal human hair does.

As far as the manufacturing process is concerned, hair systems can be hand-tied or machine-tied. Hand-tied wigs can also be custom made, which happens to be the most expensive alternative. The foundation of a hair system can be either a polymer or a mesh. The polymer foundation is a more affordable but also a less comfortable option. A mesh structure breathes better than polymer structures and is therefore more comfortable to wear but, besides being more expensive, it is also a less durable alternative and more difficult to maintain. Mesh is suitable for creating authentic-looking hairlines, so many wigs combine both technologies, mesh for the hairline and the polymer structure for the inside of the wig.

The method of attaching a wig to your scalp and blending it with your existing hair is an immensely important factor (more info: http://www.greyhairloss.com/hair-replacement.html). There are semi-permanently attached hair systems that are either glued to your scalp or woven into your existing hair and these can only be removed in a hair salon once every five or six weeks for cleaning. These systems cling tightly to your scalp and can be unhealthy and uncomfortable to wear after a couple of weeks of use. The temporarily-attached hair systems use double-sided sticky tape or clips to fix the hairpiece to your scalp and existing hair. They can be removed and cleaned any time you wish but can also be easily and unexpectedly removed, leading to embarrassing situations.

The final, determining factor when deciding on buying a hair system is the price. Any hair system is temporary in nature, it will not last for ever like hair transplants do. Nevertheless, they can be quite expensive. Hair transplants can cost as much as ten thousand dollars or more. Although you can get a wig for a few hundred dollars, the more authentic pieces cost a few thousand dollars and require regular maintenance costing a couple of hundred dollars a month. In addition, you have to buy at least two identical pieces, one to wear while the other is being maintained by your hair salon. Though not cheap, hair systems are often the only option to replace the lost hair for many alopecia areata patients, as well as a large percentage of female hair loss sufferers.

Hair loss can be devastating, whether you are male or female, regardless of race or ethnicity. Typical hair loss among men crosses the boundaries of race and culture. However, African American hair poses a particular set of challenges with regard to hair loss. Hair replacement clinics across the country note that while black men seem to suffer the same sort of male pattern baldness and challenges as Caucasian men, African American men and women seem to suffer a higher percentage of problems with hair loss for a variety other, culturally specific reasons. Hair replacement solutions to African American hair loss can be equally complex. Every year, thousands of men and women of African descent struggle to resolve issues that have left them with receding hairlines and patchy balding spots. Many of these causes are due to hairstyling techniques that have become part of the African American culture, such as:• Traction Alopecia – caused by braiding too tightly, long term use of corn-rows or tight pig tails in hair. This causes a constant tug on the root of the hair which eventually not only pulls it out, but can cause scarring on the scalp.• Use of Chemical relaxers that contain lye (the same ingredient used in products like Draino) can actually cause chemical burns on the skin. Even the more natural relaxers use chemicals harsh enough to cause a burn. • Use of hot combs or irons on the hair too close to the scalp, causing burns and scarring.• Bleach–again, a harsh chemical not intended to come in contact with the delicate skin of the scalp. What many people don’t realize is that all of these procedures can, if done improperly, cause permanent hair loss due to scarring of the scalp. Once hair follicles are scarred, there is no resurrecting them. That hair is gone for good. Hair regrowing products like Propecia and Minoxidil will not regrow hair here. Hair replacement experts understand the emotional toll this kind of loss can take on somebody suffering from hair loss. Not only does hair loss cause embarrassment, the self-esteem can take a nose dive as well. Janelle, a twenty-four year old African American woman, noticed that her hair had begun to recede around her hairline. She had worn pig tails as a child and as an adult, had begun chemically relaxing her hair. To save money, she decided to do it at home. The chemicals burned her scalp. Alarmed, Janelle discovered several bald patches the size of a half dollar on her crown. She saw her doctor and learned that Traction Alopecia was responsible for her hair loss around her hairline, and chemical burns were responsible for the now permanent hair loss on her crown. He sent her to a hair replacement specialist. Janelle was dealing with three problems: Bald patches on the scalp and a receding hairline; but more importantly, her biggest problem was the toll the hair loss took on her self-esteem and emotional well-being. She considered surgical hair replacement, but this is a complex issue when it comes to black hair. Why?• The cost is prohibitively high. And quite often, if simply doesn’t work. Hair does not regrow in the density required.• The formation of keloid tissue. Keloid scarring is a condition to which black skin is often prone. While skin on the scalp rarely forms keloid scar tissue, the skin on the forehead and face often will. So if a receding hairline is the issue, often surgical transplantation is not an option on black skin.• Grafting is tricky – Black hair is curly not only above the skin but below, at the root as well. So the grafting of individual hairs is complex and often impossible. In the end, she found an expert who specialized in high end hair replacement systems to restore her hair to it original state. Using breathable lace mesh and hand tied hairs, the hair replacement specialist matched Janelle’s hair with real hair, then filled in the missing spots and her hairline with several hair systems to extend her hairline. The new hair blended in flawlessly with Janelle’s own hair. This hair system was not cheap either. A high end hair system that is virtually undetectable costs somewhere around $2500. But let’s face it, nothing good is ever cheap. Nor was the hair system without maintenance. She had to adjust the color monthly and occasionally have new hair tied to replace hair that routinely shed from the hair system. But in the end, she couldn’t be happier with her full head of hair. Restoring her hair has, made her less self-conscious and given her back her confidence. It’s hard to put a price tag on that. Every year, hair replacement experts help thousands of people just like Janelle reclaim their lives with the help of hair replacement systems. There are other hair replacement options available to those with spotty hair loss like Janelle. Hair extensions made with clips are temporary or removable hair systems that don’t require glue to be fixed to the scalp. These are also made with high quality human hair in China and can blend invisibly with your own hair. If you have experienced hair loss and are looking for options, study hair replacement systems on the internet. Look for hair systems that are virtually undetectable, made of human hair, and have local clinics available for custom fitting.
