Understanding Medical Hair Loss
Medical hair loss can be temporary or permanent, depending on the underlying cause. Chemotherapy, for instance, often results in temporary hair loss, while conditions like alopecia can lead to more permanent changes. Understanding the nature of your hair loss is the first step in determining the right solution for you. Consulting with your healthcare provider or a dermatologist can provide you with a clear diagnosis and possible treatment options.
Regardless of the reason, Bravadas has the largest wig selection in Omaha for women who are suffering with medically related hair loss. Many women have told us it takes a lot of courage to come in and look for a solution. That's why our experienced staff has access to private fitting rooms to help you feel as comfortable as possible. Seeing yourself with hair you love can change your whole outlook on life, and that is why we are so passionate about helping women find hair loss solutions.
Types of Wigs
Wigs come in various types, each with its own set of benefits:
Synthetic Wigs: These are often more affordable and come pre-styled, which means less maintenance for you. They are available in a wide range of colors and styles, allowing you to experiment with different looks. Some customers buy multiple wigs and then drop off the ones they aren't wearing to us so they can be serviced. This gives them a rotation where they always have a freshly styled wig on hand.
Human Hair Wigs: These wigs offer a more natural appearance and feel. They can be styled with heat tools and colored just like your natural hair. However, they require more maintenance and are typically more expensive., That said, there is no more natural looking than a human hair wig. We carry a wide selection of human hair wigs, and even produce our own called the Bravadas Luxe line.
Lace Front Wigs: These provide a natural-looking hairline and are a popular choice for their realistic appearance. The lace front can blend seamlessly with your skin, making it difficult to detect that you’re wearing a wig.
Monofilament Wigs: These wigs have a cap that mimics the natural scalp, allowing for versatile parting and a more natural look. They are comfortable and often recommended for those with sensitive scalps. Cap construction is important, but far too expansive to get into in this post. If you have questions about caps please refer to this article.
Choosing the Right Wig in Omaha
Buying a wig is a personal decision. It works best when done in person with a professional. There are many places online to shop for wigs but we do not recommend it. Not only is the process for difficult but there are many scams to look out for as well. When selecting a wig, consider the following factors:
Comfort: Ensure the wig is comfortable to wear, especially if you plan to wear it for extended periods. Look for wigs with adjustable straps and soft linings.
Style and Color: Choose a style and color that make you feel confident and align with your personal taste. Don’t be afraid to try something new!
Quality: Invest in a high-quality wig that will last longer and withstand daily wear. While it might be tempting to go for a cheaper option, a well-made wig will often provide better comfort and appearance. If cost is a concern make sure you let the person know what your buget is. Like many other things, when it comes to wigs you get what you pay for.
In Omaha, Bravadas is offering free personalized consultations and fittings. Visiting our wig store allows you to try on different wigs and receive expert advice tailored to your specific needs.
Caring for Your Wig
Proper care extends the life of your wig and keeps it looking its best. Here are some tips:
Washing: Clean your synthetic wig regularly using products specifically designed for wigs that our experts have recommended. Avoid regular hair care products, as they can damage the fibers. Human hair wigs can use regular cleaning products the same way you would on your biological hair.
Styling: If you have a synthetic wig, avoid heat tools unless specified as heat-resistant. For human hair wigs, use heat tools sparingly and always apply a heat protectant. It's also helpful to know what kind of style you want.
Storage: Store your wig on a stand to maintain its shape. Keep it away from direct sunlight and in a cool, dry place. We have very inexpensive wigs stands for sale everyday.
Emotional Support and Community
Losing your hair can be emotionally taxing. It’s crucial to seek support from friends, family, or support groups. In Omaha, there are numerous support groups and online communities where you can share your experiences and gain encouragement from others who understand what you’re going through.
