Hair loss affects millions globally, impacting confidence and self-esteem. While understanding the root causes is key to addressing the issue, finding immediate solutions like high-quality wigs can restore your look and confidence. We blend education with practical solutions. Let’s explore why hair loss happens and how our custom wigs offer a seamless transformation.
1. Genetic Factors: The Most Common Culprit

Androgenetic Alopecia (hereditary hair loss) accounts for 95% of cases. This condition affects both men and women:
- Men: Receding hairlines and thinning crowns.
-
Women: Gradual thinning across the scalp.
While genetics can’t be reversed, non-surgical options like Ailsa's lace-front wigs mimic natural hairlines, offering undetectable coverage.
2. Hormonal Changes & Medical Conditions

Hormonal imbalances often trigger temporary or permanent hair loss:
- Pregnancy/Postpartum: Fluctuating estrogen levels cause shedding.
- Thyroid Disorders: Hypothyroidism slows hair growth.
-
PCOS: Excess androgens lead to thinning.
For those undergoing medical treatments (e.g., chemotherapy), Ailsa's lightweight, hypoallergenic wigs provide comfort during recovery.
3. Stress & Lifestyle Factors
Physical or emotional stress pushes hair follicles into a resting phase (Telogen Effluvium), causing sudden shedding. Common triggers include:
- Chronic stress or trauma.
- Extreme weight loss/crash diets.
- Poor sleep habits.
While stress management helps regrowth, our pre-styled human hair wigs let you maintain your appearance effortlessly.
4. Nutritional Deficiencies
A diet lacking essential nutrients weakens hair structure:
- Iron Deficiency: Reduces oxygen supply to follicles.
- Low Protein: Hair is 90% keratin—insufficient protein causes brittleness.
-
Vitamin D/B12: Crucial for follicle health.
Pair a balanced diet with Ailsa's synthetic wigs for instant volume while nurturing your natural hair.
5. Ageing & Environmental Damage
Over time, hair follicles shrink, producing finer strands. Environmental factors like UV exposure, pollution, and harsh styling accelerate this process.
Ailsa's UV-resistant wigs protect against Edinburgh’s variable weather, ensuring long-lasting vibrancy.
