Non-Surgical Hair Replacement: A Closer Look

Today's state-of-the-art non-surgical hair replacement solutions (hair additions) provide the ability to add as little or as much hair as an individual may desire or need in order to regain the overall hair density that they had before the onset of hair loss due to various forms of Alopecia, medically related therapies, female pattern baldness or other forms of thinning hair or hair loss in women.

In years past, this type of hair addition or hair replacement system may have been a ill-fitting wig or other form of uncomfortable, itchy hairpiece that didn't fit well, felt like you were wearing a football helmet, and looked even worse.

But the similarity between the wigs and hairpieces your mother or grandmother may have worn, and today's modern, state-of-the-art feather-light hair replacement techniques is like comparing Ben Franklin's eyeglasses to today's modern contact lens systems.

Non-surgical hair replacements may be made of 100% human hair, synthetic hair or fiber, or a combination of both, and are available for women of all ethnic backgrounds.
 

How is a Non-Surgical Hair Replacement Kept in Place?

Partial non-surgical hair additions and replacements may be attached using a variety of techniques.  Either the existing hair or the scalp are used as the anchor sites. Various methods of attachment, including adhesives such as double-sided surgical tapes and new improved waterproof liquids, may be used depending on the individual client's lifestyle requirements, allowing her to engage in all of her normal activities: swimming, gym membership, hiking the dunes of Cape Cod, water skiing, scuba diving, or just soaking in the hot tub (not to mention taking care of the kids, chauffeuring them to and from Soccer games, trips to the mall... the list goes on)!

Reallusions non-surgical hair replacement systems provide 24/7 comfort and security, just as though it were your own natural growing hair.  Your Reallusions hair replacement is cared for in the same manner and at the same time as your normal growing hair: shampoo, condition, blow-dry, and forget it. 

In fact, Reallusions becomes so much a part of you that you may even forget you ever had a hair loss problem (really!).
 

How Natural Will My New Hair Addition Look?

The proof of any great women's hair replacement system is in the front hairline.  Modern state-of-the-art hair replacement advancements along with the skill and artistry of trained PK Walsh hair replacement professionals allow clients to look in the mirror and see the hair they have always wanted... perfect color matching to your existing hair, age appropriate hair density, a totally natural front hairline, the return of a favorite hair style or the latest hair style you've been dreaming about.

Reallusions hair replacements for women allow you to choose any hair style you wish, including those which are combed back in such a way as to reveal the front hair line.  Moreover, your Reallusions hair replacement not only appears totally natural to the eye, but it also FEELS completely natural to the touch as your run your fingers through it.

No special care is required. By spending the same amount of time and care you would normally spend on your hair before you experienced hair loss, your hair will always look as good as ever.
 

Which is best, human hair or synthetic?

The bottom line is that the choice depends entirely on the attachment technique and your type of lifestyle.  Either human hair or synthetic, or a combination of both can be used successfully when matched to the proper individual. A trained Transitions hair replacement specialist can advise you as to the proper components of your Reallusions hair replacement based on your individual life-style.
 

Partial vs. Full Hair Additions

Women undergoing chemotherapy and newly diagnosed patients with alopecia areata should request a full hair prosthesis. With alopecia areata, the condition may not be stable and focusing in on only one area where hair loss has occurred may only be a temporary solution. In the case of chemotherapy, due to the nature of the drugs used, all hair will likely be lost and a partial hair addition may be useless.
 

Psychological Effects of Female Hair Loss

The psychological effects for women experiencing female pattern baldness, hair loss, or thinning hair vary widely. Many women report having severe problems related to anxiety, depression, social phobia, and in some cases, identity change. Clients have said again and again that restoring their hair has given them a new lease on life by also restoring their self-image, self-confidence, and self-esteem.
