The obsessive, compulsive, and seemingly involuntary tugging and pulling of one’s own hair is a perplexing condition with complex solutions. With so much social attention on healthy, lustrous hair, it might be hard for most of us to grasp the trichotillomania, one of the more troublesome hair loss conditions. It involves the chronic, compulsive-obsessive behavior of pulling out one’s own hair. The effects are patchy baldness and is generally considered disfiguring. Both women and men experience this hair-pulling disorder, although ten times more women do it than men. Children sometimes have trichotillomania (TTM) as well. Research finds that between 0.5 and 2

This para-medical approach to treating hair loss might well be a first step in addressing baldness. It’s a holistic way of keep your hair “up there.” The things that can cause hair loss – genetics, toxins, medications, illnesses, grooming techniques, stress, and mental illness – illustrate how multifactorial hair loss can be.

Being a cancer patient is temporary, so is the hair loss that often comes with treatment. Approach it with a strategy: control it so it doesn’t control you. A cancer diagnosis is generally hardest on patients in the first week or two when it’s new. This is a time when a lot of questions need to be answered and not all the answers are available.Fortunately, one of the most important questions – will this alter my appearance? –can be managed. That question is usually about hair loss and hair loss solutions. It varies by individual and by the nature of the cancer and the treatment for it. Cancer-related hair

There are all kinds of wigs to fit all kinds of occasions. But a custom hair system has a difference purpose and is more convincing as it achieves it. Perhaps the Moira Rose character on the hit award winning sitcom, “Schitt’s Creek,” has done the world of hair replacement systems a huge favor. This is because some confusion exists on the terminology in hair loss solutions. Some consider a hair replacement system a wig. A wig is different from a custom hair system. Moira Rose wore wigs. Glorious, dramatic, over-the-top, hair-that-is-basically-a-hat wigs. They range from blond to pink to brunette to green-silver,
