Lace Wigs and Hair Loss; Glamourlace Wigs Are the Best Solution for Women Who Experience Hair Loss


We all know that wigs and other forms of hair enhancement are widely worn by women. What we don’t know is that many of these women are concealing hair loss. According to the American Hair Loss Association, 1 out of 4 women will have significant hair loss by age 35; 50% by age 50. Women experience various forms of hair loss including: alopecia, male pattern baldness, thinning hair due to aging, medications and styling and cancer recovery.

“The problem isn’t as noticeable because women are good at concealing their hair loss,” says Cathy Nedd, owner of TheHairNetwork.com, makers of Glamourlace Wigs and The Glamourlace Lace Front Wig Studio. “Women wear weaves, fusions, integrations and wigs so the many women walking around with significant hair loss aren’t as noticeable.”

“Unfortunately, once a woman has experienced significant hair loss many hair replacement alternatives are not workable, or advisable, because they require hair for attachment,” Cathy continued. “Our uniquely constructed Glamourlace Lace Front Wigs are an excellent solution for women with significant hair loss, because the wig is attached around the perimeter of the hairline.

Glamourlace Lace Front Wigs do not require hair for attachment. The wigs are attached around the perimeter of the hairline in a manner that creates a natural looking hairline, i.e. the hair appears as though it’s growing right from the scalp. Unlike regular wigs, Glamourlace Lace Front Wigs can be worn off the face and parted anywhere for versatile styling. They can also be worn in an updo, or high ponytail.

Also unlike regular wigs, lace front wigs can remain attached for several weeks at a time. The wearer does not have to worry about the wig slipping off – a problem that women with complete hair loss experience – nor remove it every night for bed.

Catrena, pictured above, began experiencing hair loss at age 12. She recounts first seeing a dime size patch of hair loss on one side of her head, then the other. She says that the patches of hair loss became larger and larger reaching total hair loss, called alopecia totalis, by age 24. She believes that the weaves she wore to conceal her hair loss accelerated her situation.

“The hair that I did have was really too weak to support the weaves,” said Catrena. “I believe the weaves that I had only made my hair fall out faster.”

“I love my Glamourlace wig. People really think it’s my own hair,” says Catrena. “It doesn’t shift during the day, I can finally wear my hair off of my face, and I get to wear a ponytail.”
