FEMALE HAIR LOSS

FEMALE HAIR LOSS

It’s no surprise that 3 out of 5 men suffer from some type of hair thinning or loss by the time they get to 50, but what you probably didn’t know is that a quarter of women suffer the same. The fact that many of us only feel comfortable with a male receding hair-line, is likely why this reality is one of the female of the species’ best kept secrets.

So what should women do when they start to lose their hair? Furthermore, while hair loss can be devastating for women - shouldn’t we begin recognising its regularity and talking about it?

Debbie Edwards, founder of Hair-In-X-S, the hair loss and hair extension specialists, explains;

"Our clients suffer from all types of hair loss problems like Alopecia, Trichotillomania, genetic thinning or as a consequence of medical treatments like chemotherapy. Initially, many suffer silently because it can take time to accept the permanence of female hair loss. Using hats, scarves, hair pieces and wigs many do not seek outside help* until the additional loss of self-esteem and confidence make the situation unbearable.”

Patricia Watts from Hove is one such client. Suffering from genetic thinning all her life – it was at its worst in her thirties when Pat found it debilitating. Unable to leave her home, Pat did not want to face the world 'feeling ugly'. Her thinning hair was replaced with wigs, but it wasn't until Pat found Hair-In-X- in her forties and was able to disguise her thinning hair that she found a renewed confidence beyond expectation. Pat who had previously been a housewife went on to travel the world as a chef.

Patricia comments;
"It may sound a little exaggerated, but when you have had little or no hair, you understand how much your appearance can affect the way you live your life. I only wish I could have found a solution earlier, and that I hadn’t let hair loss impact negatively on every aspect of my life.
