Hair Systems for Alopecia
Losing your hair to alopecia can happen quickly and without warning, and it is often harder to cope with than gradual thinning. A bespoke hair system gives you back a full, natural head of hair while you decide on anything else, and it does not depend on whether, or when, your own hair grows back. We fit systems for men and women with all forms of alopecia at our private salon near Bristol.
Types of hair loss we help with
We regularly fit systems for alopecia areata, where hair is lost in patches, and for alopecia totalis and universalis, where most or all of the hair is lost. We also help clients with hair loss after illness or medical treatment, traction alopecia and other conditions. We are not a medical clinic, so if your hair loss is new or unexplained we would always suggest speaking to your GP or a dermatologist as well.
Partial or full-cap systems
Where hair loss is patchy, a partial system can cover the affected areas and blend into the hair around it. For more extensive loss, a full-cap system is made to the shape of your whole head and gives you a complete, natural-looking head of hair that can be cut and styled however you like. Because alopecia can change over time, we can adjust the size and shape of your system as your needs change.
Comfort and sensitive skin
Many of our alopecia clients wear their system every day for weeks at a time, so comfort matters. We will talk you through the base materials and attachment methods, including options for sensitive skin, and show you how to care for your scalp underneath. The base types and attachment methods are explained in our guide to hair systems.
Women with alopecia
Alopecia affects women as well as men, and we fit systems for both. Women's systems are made in longer lengths, with the colour, highlights and density specified to suit you. Our women's hair systems page has more detail, and our prices page shows how women's systems are priced.
