Your hair is a big part of who you are and how you feel about yourself. It’s not just hair; it reflects your personality and how you see yourself.
Unfortunately, hair loss is a common issue for many, especially as they get older, with almost all men over 80 experiencing some degree of hair loss. Although it’s a natural part of ageing, it can still shake your confidence.
The good news is, today’s modern men’s wigs offer a stylish and natural-looking solution! Whether you fancy a subtle enhancement or a completely new look, the right wig can have a transformative effect.
Why Do Men Lose Hair?
For most men, hair loss runs in the family. For instance, male pattern baldness can be inherited, meaning if your dad or grandfather lost their hair, you might too. This happens because hair follicles become sensitive to male hormones, which causes them to shrink over time. Eventually, the hair gets thinner and stops growing altogether, leading to bald spots or a receding hairline.
Hair loss is also a natural part of ageing, and most men experience it sooner or later. Hair follicles gradually slow down or stop producing new strands as you age, leading to thinning hair. Some guys notice bald spots as early as their 30s or 40s, while others may not see significant changes until later in life.
Conditions like alopecia areata (an autoimmune disease), thyroid disorders, and anaemia can all cause thinning hair. Medications, especially those used for cancer treatments like chemotherapy, can also trigger hair loss. If you’re losing hair unexpectedly, it’s worth checking with a doctor to rule out any underlying health concerns.
Let’s not forget stress, which can do more than affect your mood; it can also lead to hair thinning or shedding. Stress can disrupt your hair growth cycle, whether it’s due to work, personal life, or significant life changes. Fortunately, stress-related hair loss is usually temporary, and managing stress through exercise, relaxation, and a balanced diet can help.
Challenges in Finding the Right Men’s Wig
Men have some unique hurdles when picking a wig. For instance, guys might feel a bit more self-conscious about wearing wigs because of societal pressures and expectations around masculinity, making the decision to wear a wig emotionally challenging.
What’s more, it’s particularly important for men to find wigs that look natural and undetectable. This often involves careful consideration of factors like hairline, hair density, and style to ensure the wig blends seamlessly with their overall appearance.
Wigs need to fit comfortably and securely, especially if they have active lifestyles. Finding the right cap size and ensuring the wig stays in place can be a concern. Selecting a style that complements their facial features and personal style is crucial for a natural and confident look.
Additionally, matching the wig colour to their natural hair colour (or what their hair colour was) is crucial for a seamless look. It can be challenging to find the perfect shade, especially considering variations in hair colour and the potential for greying.
For both men and women, lifestyle considerations should always be factored into the wig-selection process. For example, athletes or those with physically demanding jobs may need wigs that are more secure and can withstand sweat and movement.
While the wig market is expanding continually, there might still be fewer options available specifically designed for men compared to women’s wigs.
Help in Finding the Right Men’s Wig
Whether you’re into a classic short cut, something longer and more modern, or even something a bit daring, Aremyhair’s professional stylists will help you achieve the look you’re after without any hassle!
First off, when choosing a wig, you’ll need to decide between human hair and synthetic. Here at Aremyhair, we use human hair unless the client asks for wigs made of synthetic hair. Human hair wigs look and feel the most natural, and you can style them just like your own hair. They do cost more, though, and need a bit more looking after.
To make sure your wig looks natural, it’s crucial to get the right fit. A wig that’s too tight could give you a headache, and one that’s too loose might slip out of place. At the Aremyhair studio, we make sure to match your wig colour to your natural hair or eyebrows for a more realistic, natural look.
To help you make the right choice in men’s wigs, here are some tips from Aremyhair:
- Consult with a professional. Aremyhair wig specialists can provide expert guidance in terms of fit, style, color, and hair density.
- Explore different base types. The wig base (lace, monofilament, skin) impacts comfort, breathability, and how natural the hairline appears.
- Pay attention to hair quality. Opting for high-quality human hair or synthetic fibers can enhance the wig’s natural look and longevity.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment. Trying on different wigs and styles can help men find what looks and feels best for them.
- Connect with other men who wear wigs or hair systems to get insights and support.
