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.
