We all lose hair. We have seen them floating in water during the morning shower, while blow drying or when we give them a quick brush. Its absolutely normal to lose about 50 to 100 hair strands in a single day as it is a part of routine hair life cycle. The older ones will fall to leave space for the new ones to grow and the cycle goes on. However, it is a rather serious phenomenon if the person is incurring unexplained or excessive hair fall. At times it happens as a side effect of serious medical conditions and skin diseases.
However, the root cause of excessive hair loss can be attributed to hormonal dis balance as well. It has been observed that hair loss has also been attributed due to stress taking capability of a person. Also people suffering from cancer lose hair during chemotherapy. Medical patients also lose hair during Alopecia, Trichotillomania and other hair scalp diseases. Doctors commonly suggest them to go for
human hair wigs. Women mostly lose their hair after 3 to 4 months after the child birth which again is due to hormones settling down.
Coming to the basics, wigs is contracted artificially which gives a look of hair growing from the scalp. These types of wigs are typically called as monofilament wigs and they command a premium as they come closest to natural hair. Human hair wigs are constructed on a cap which fits to the scalp of the original hair and thus giving a real look. Because they are highly priced, customers also go for the less priced cap less construction wigs.
Once we get to the construction of the wig the quality of the wig depends upon the elements of the wig such as Nape, Sides, Ear Tabs, Front Hair Line, Front, Crown and Back. Each element of the wig is designed for specific needs as well on customers preference. Since it is an external part being integrated to the human body, the concept of one size fits all does not work with wigs and is thus largely customised industry. Big name in the fashion world offer wig solutions as being customised, it offers lucrative business sense to these companies.
Last and not the least is the requirement of artificial hair in the makeup and overdo category which is a very niche category and large fashion and business houses market these wigs for the luxury segment.
