Using Different Styling Options
1. Wear a wig or hairpiece
If you are very distressed by your hair loss, consider wearing a wig or hairpiece. This may make you feel more comfortable in public or around friends and family members.
- If your hair loss is a result of a medical condition, insurance may cover your wig if you get a prescription from your doctor.
- You can get a wig or hairpiece at specialty hair or wig stores, or some salons.
- The American Cancer Organization and the National Alopecia Areata Foundation offer online programs that can help you find services to locate businesses in your area which provide wig and hairpiece support.
2. Put on a hat
Hats are great accessories that can cover up a bald head or thinning hair. Put on a hat if you don’t want to wear a wig. Not only can this make you more confident, but it will distract others from your condition.
- Some places, such as schools or offices, may forbid wearing head coverings. Ask your boss, principal or other authority to make an exception for your condition. You can get a doctor’s note to help you with your request.
- There are many different types of hats to suit your style and taste, and even mood. You can purchase hats at most department and clothing stores, and even some large retailers.
3. Wrap a scarf around your head
Tie a beautiful large scarf around your head. There are many different ways to wrap scarves, and an ingenious wrap and beautiful print can not only divert attention from your baldness, but also stimulate conversation and boost your confidence.
- You can buy scarves at many department and clothing stores.
- There are hundreds of different ways to tie and wrap scarves around your head. A simple search on the Internet can help you find a style that suits your taste. Have fun with scarves!
4. Divert attention
You can distract people from your baldness or thinning hair with hats, scarves, and wigs, or you can accentuate some aspect of your personality or even personal style. Getting people to notice something other than you lack of strands may help them—and you—cope with baldness.
- You can divert attention with humor, your sparkling personality, or your stunning intellect.
- Consider wearing a vibrant outfit or piece of jewelry that will start conversations and distract people from your baldness.
