Hair Loss Awareness Month
Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania is a psychological condition where individuals feel compelled to pull out their hair, leading to noticeable hair loss. This can affect the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. The condition often results from stress or anxiety and requires a multifaceted treatment approach, including behavioral therapy and supportive hair care solutions.
Alopecia
Alopecia encompasses various conditions that cause hair loss, with Alopecia Areata being one of the most common. This autoimmune disorder causes the immune system to attack hair follicles, resulting in patchy hair loss. In severe cases, it can lead to complete scalp hair loss (Alopecia Totalis) or even total body hair loss (Alopecia Universalis). Treatment may include corticosteroids, topical immunotherapy, or other medications to stimulate hair growth.
Cancer-related Hair Loss
Cancer-related hair loss is typically a side effect of chemotherapy or radiation therapy. These treatments target rapidly dividing cells, including those in hair follicles, leading to hair loss. The psychological impact of losing hair during cancer treatment can be profound, making supportive care and compassionate solutions essential.
We Empathize with Your Hair Loss
At Wigful Thinking, we empathize with the emotional impact of hair loss.

We don’t just provide wigs; we create personalized hair designs that consider each client’s style, lifestyle, personality, and facial features. Our comprehensive studio services include sizing, cutting and styling, cleaning and refreshing, and providing exceptional hair solutions.
At Wigful Thinking, we cater to all levels of hair loss, including alopecia, Trichotillomania, hormone deficiency, chemotherapy, and medication-induced hair loss. Our dedicated team is not just about providing products but about supporting you during this challenging time. Many clients come to us feeling lost and uncertain, but they leave with a renewed sense of confidence and dignity. The smiles on their faces when they find the perfect piece are a testament to our commitment.
On a personal note, I walk this journey with each client. Our relationship extends beyond the initial process, whether for further instructions, sizing adjustments, maintenance, or, often, bringing in a friend in need to experience the satisfaction of Wigful Thinking. I’m here to ensure your experience with us is as comfortable and supportive as possible.
