Types of Hairloss
Hair loss is never just about hair — it’s often about identity, confidence, and healing. At Natural Wigs Store💕, we work with women from every walk of life, and each one has a different story. Whether it’s from stress, surgery, illness, or something deeper, hair loss can feel confusing and isolating until you understand what’s really happening.
✨ Types of Hair Loss in Women
Below are the most common types of hair loss women experience — and how to begin moving forward with compassion and clarity.
🩺 1. Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss. It can happen suddenly and at any age — even in children. Some women see their hair grow back; others experience ongoing shedding in different areas. At Natural Wigs Store💕, we help women with Alopecia feel seen, supported, and styled with wigs or toppers designed just for them.
🧬 2. Androgenic Alopecia (Female Pattern Baldness)
This is the most common form of genetic hair loss in women. It often starts as gradual thinning on the crown or part line and can worsen with age or hormonal changes (like menopause). Toppers like our Mirge™ Crown Topper are often ideal for this type of loss.
🩹 3. Traction Alopecia
This type of hair loss is caused by long-term tension from hairstyles such as tight ponytails, braids, weaves, or wigs applied too tightly. It can lead to thinning around the edges and hairline. If caught early, the damage may be reversible. For more advanced stages, a Mirge™ Hairline Topper offers a gentle way to restore fullness.
💔 4. Telogen Effluvium (Stress or Illness-Induced Hair Shedding)
Telogen Effluvium happens when the body experiences stress, illness, surgery, or trauma — causing hair to shed in large amounts temporarily. Postpartum hair loss also falls into this category. The good news: hair often regrows, but it takes time. While waiting, many women turn to temporary toppers or lightweight wigs for confidence during recovery.
💊 5. Chemotherapy-Induced Hair Loss
Hair loss from chemo is one of the most visible and emotional side effects of cancer treatment. It often starts 1–3 weeks after treatment begins. We specialize in medical-grade wigs and offer gentle consultations for women walking through this journey. We remind every client: you are not your hair — and you are not alone.
🧠 6. Scarring Alopecia or Post-Surgical Hair Loss
Some women experience permanent hair loss due to scars from scalp surgeries (like Mohs surgery), burns, or injuries. This type is called scarring (cicatricial) alopecia and requires custom solutions. Our Mirge™ Custom Toppers are designed to gently blend over surgical areas without pain or pressure.
