Cosmetic Hair Loss Solutions
by: Richard Mitchell
Many people suffering from hair loss prefer not
to use the strong drugs and medications that currently form the
best available treatment options. They may have tried a range
of treatments but found they did not work or perhaps suffered
unpleasant side effects. What options are left for such people,
especially if they do not wish to consider surgery?
There are a number of solutions available but the
final decision will be strongly influenced by the amount of thinning
that needs to be covered.
1. Creative styling - this is perhaps the easiest
option but its success depends on how far your hair loss has progressed.
Slight balding can easily be camouflaged by careful grooming but
attempts at covering large bald patches can end up looking ridiculous.
One option for men with extensive thinning is to shave the head
completely but this is not for everyone.
2. Hair cosmetics - this can include anything from
hair thickening / volumizing products to dyes and fibers that
blend with existing hair. Once again, these solutions really only
work if the area of scalp to be covered is minimal.
3. Head coverings - seen by many as a last resort,
wigs and hairpieces offer a further option. Once an object of
derision, hairpieces have improved beyond recognition in recent
years, although the price you are prepared to pay will determine
the realism of the final result. Wigs come in all shapes and sizes
and can be made from real or synthetic hair, but be warned the
best ones are very expensive.
