Hair Loss Awareness Month: Understanding Hair Loss, Finding Solutions, and Restoring Confidence

August is Hair Loss Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to a topic that impacts millions of people but is often experienced in silence. At Strut Hair Solutions, we believe hair loss is more than a change in appearance. It can affect confidence, identity, and the way we see ourselves every day.

Hair loss is a deeply personal journey, and no two experiences look the same. Whether it’s caused by genetics, hormones, stress, medical treatments, postpartum changes, aging, nutrition, or lifestyle factors, losing your hair can bring feelings of frustration, uncertainty, and even grief. This month, we’re here to remind you that you are not alone, and there are solutions available.

Hair Loss Is More Common Than You Think

Many people are surprised to learn just how common hair loss is. It affects both women and men at different stages of life, and it can happen for many different reasons.

Some of the most common causes of hair loss include:

  • Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, postpartum shifts, menopause, and thyroid imbalances can all influence hair growth cycles.
  • Stress and illness: Major life events, illness, or emotional stress can trigger increased shedding.
  • Medical treatments: Chemotherapy and certain medications can lead to temporary or long-term hair changes.
  • Genetics: Hereditary hair thinning can affect hair density and fullness over time.
  • Nutritional deficiencies/GLP-1: The body needs proper nutrients to support healthy hair growth.

Understanding the “why” behind hair loss is the first step toward finding the right solution.

Hair Loss Is More Than Hair… It’s Confidence

At Strut Hair Solutions, we see firsthand how emotional hair loss can be. Your hair can be a form of self-expression. It can be part of your routine, your style, and how you show up in the world.

Many of our clients tell us they miss the person they felt like before hair loss began. They miss styling their hair, getting ready without worry, or feeling confident in photos.

That’s why our mission has always been about more than hair. It’s about helping people feel like themselves again.

Finding the Right Hair Loss Solution for You

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to hair loss. Every person’s hair journey is unique, which is why Strut Hair Solutions offers The Strut Signature Discovery Session which is a customized solution designed around your needs, lifestyle, and goals.

Our solutions include:

Scalp Health & Hair Wellness

Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Our scalp treatments are designed to cleanse, refresh, and support the foundation of healthy-looking hair. From scalp detox treatments to wellness-focused care, we help create an environment where your hair can thrive.

Hair Loss Solutions That Look and Feel Natural

For those experiencing thinning or hair loss, hair toppers, wigs, extensions, and custom solutions can help restore fullness, style, and confidence.

Our team specializes in finding the right fit, color, and style so your solution feels natural and uniquely you.

A Personalized Approach

We take the time to understand your hair history, concerns, and goals. Whether you are experiencing early signs of thinning or navigating hair loss after a major life event, our team is here to guide you through every step.

You Don’t Have to Wait to Seek Support

One of the biggest misconceptions about hair loss is that you have to wait until it becomes severe before looking for help. The earlier you address changes in your hair and scalp health, the more options you may have.

If you’ve noticed increased shedding, thinning areas, changes in texture, or a loss of fullness, it’s worth starting a conversation.

This Hair Loss Awareness Month, Remember: You Are Not Alone

Hair loss does not define your beauty, your strength, or who you are. It is simply a part of your story, and with the right support, you can take steps toward feeling confident again.

At Strut Hair Solutions, we’ve been helping individuals navigate their hair loss journeys since 2002. Our goal has always been to provide compassionate care, personalized solutions, and a place where people feel understood.

Because restoring your hair is important, but restoring your confidence is what truly matters.

If you or someone you love is experiencing hair loss, we invite you to schedule a Discovery Session with our Strut dream team and discover the possibilities waiting for you.

August is Hair Loss Awareness Month. Let’s start the conversation.

Tips to Choose the Right Wig

Choosing the right wig that compliments your style can be difficult. There’s a reason clients contact Strut Hair Solutions for a Discovery Session. This guide will give you a detailed look on various wig types and wig styles, while making recommendations on how to choose a wig.

How to Wear Wigs and Make them Look Real

Perhaps you know exactly which wig you desire, but you’re not so sure how to wear it so that it looks natural. I want to share some tips and tricks that will make your wig look like it’s growing out of your own scalp, so you can look and feel confident!

What’s the difference between Remy Hair and Non-Remy Hair?

Remy hair is often used in marketing and selling purposes that generally misleads the client into thinking they are getting the best grade of hair.

Lace Front Wigs Can Help Beat the Heat!

Lace Front WigsLace Front Wigs & 100% Hand Tied Wigs Can Help You Beat the Heat

For most of us, we want our natural hair wigs year round. But, it has been really hot lately! To beat the heat, Strut Hair Solutions has increased our stock of two modern styles, 100% Hand Tied Wigs (or Full Lace Wigs) and Lace Front Wigs. It’s important to understand the main differences between the two and when each one should be worn!

Hand tied wigs, or full lace wigs, sound exactly like what they are; a lace fabric base in which synthetic or human hair is tied to and worn over the scalp. These can be 100% hand tied with human hair wigs or can be a combination of processed and hand tied wigs. Full lace wigs cover the whole scalp and can be worn with different hair styles underneath. They are usually worn with a wig cap because they cover the whole head. They are better suited for more temperate climates because they do not offer much breathability and can get very hot in the summer.

Lace Front Wigs, sometimes called Front Lace Wigs, are a popular alternative to 100% hand tied wigs and full lace wings because usually command a lower price, offer more comfort and wearability. Many celebrities have used lace front wigs to get the perfect hairline or for a quick hairstyle change. Lace front wigs can be used as a quick fix or to try out different styles.

When installed professionally, these breathtaking wigs can give the appearance of a truly natural hairline. The lace front wig is strictly attached by the front edges and are usually cut to fit when attached to your head. The base of the wig is usually comprised of a thicker material to keep a natural looking shape with improved comfort.

Benefits of Lace Front Wigs

An additional benefit is breathability; since the front of the hairline is covered with lace and hair only, a lace front wig allows for comfortable, wearable hair in hot weather. Allowing exposed natural hair to remain uncovered and cool is another great reason to use a front lace wig instead of a full scalp wig. A lace front wig is definitely ideal in hot and humid climates and is a great, natural looking alternative to other options. A 100% hand-tied, full lace wig allows even more breathing when it gets hot.

With the temperatures in Fresno hitting 110 degrees this summer, a lace front wig can prevent overheating. Make sure your wig is high quality and installed properly. A cheap lace front wig that is not put on properly could do damage to the skin, hair follicles and may lead to hair loss, or even skin discoloration due to harsh adhesives.

We recommend you speak to one of our professionals for assistance with getting the right wig and getting it in place properly. Prices for front lace wigs vary quite a bit based on quality, texture, length and style. Front laced wigs offer another option for a stylish and comfortable wig in summer heat.

At STRUT, we have a vast selection of 100% hand tied front lace wigs to choose from in-store. So, you can try them on, have them fitted properly, and then tailored to your scalp, face and body through cut and color. Visit our Fresno and Solana Beach locations for a free consultation on human hair front lace wigs. We look forward to helping you get the look you deserve!

Kims Wigs | Why Does Kim Zolciak Wear Wigs?

If you have ever watched The Real Housewives of Atlanta, you probably know Kim Zolciak. She is known for being an outspoken proponent of beauty-enhancing products like wigs. Kim’s wigs are clearly an important aspect to who she is. We watched her in a previous interview on Bravo where she explained Kim’s wig obsession. Not all women that walk into our wig shop in Fresno or San Diego are there for medical hair loss reasons. Some just want to get a new, fresh look to liven things up a bit. She is definitely one of these people. In fact, she says that, “wigs are just easier!”

Kim has a full head of hair but doesn’t shy away from the nearest hair store to improve her look. Kim’s hair always looks good, and it is usually quite difficult to determine when she is wearing one or not. For Kim, hair store stops are a regular occurrence to keep her look fresh. In the interview mentioned above, she says, “My hairdresser Nikki can curl it on a mannequin or braid it or do whatever and just put it on my head, and I’m out the door,” she explained. “It’s like having a chef. I want to spend more time with my kids than cook and I hate cooking, so I hire a chef.”

Strut Hair Solutions has the greatest selection of wigs Fresno ca offers, so join us for hair pieces similar to Kim’s wigs Fresno, and our San Diego wig store both have something you will enjoy. As the interviewer mentions, “the fascinating thing is that Kim has a full head of thick, blonde hair that looks like hers, but she wears a big heavy wig over it.” We understand her desire for simple, healthy results without suffering from medical problems as well. This is another reason why we carry the highest quality wigs and are certain that even if we aren’t your nearest hair store, if you set up an appointment today we can get you a glimpse of how you would look with different styles like Kim’s hair. 

Come see us today, and we will help you grab that look you want and will have you strutting out of our salon!

 

 

Human Hair Wigs verses Synthetic Wigs. Which are best?

Human Hair Wigs verses Synthetic Wigs, which one is the best choice for you?

Shopping online or in a store we always look at prices. The cheaper the better we always think, because we are saving money. Is cheaper really always better just to save a few extra dollars? You can be the judge of that as we describe what makes the best natural wigs below.

Ever wonder the big difference between the best human hair wig verses a synthetic wig? Yes price is a factor but there’s more to it then just the price tag.

SYNTHETIC AND HUMAN HAIR MACHINE MADE WIGS

Synthetic and Human hair machine made wigs are what most people identify wigs to be like and tend to be the most common.  As you can see in the picture above wefts of hair are sewn together by a machine to create the over all look of the wig. Machine made wigs tend to be less expensive because they can be mass produced quickly. Synthetic and Human hair machine made wigs tend to have more volume  and lift due to the thickness of the cap.  These can look very realistic when the hair falls in the way its sewn. Due to the way machine made’s are sewn the top or scalp portion of the wig tends to look ratted and unrealistic.  I would not recommend a machine made synthetic or human hair wig for a person with a sensitive scalp or is irritable to certain materials. Over all synthetic and human hair machine made wigs are great for someone who is on a budget and likes volume in their hair!

Pros:
More volume, more lift, more hair!
Least expensive
Can look realistic

Cons:
Thicker, heavier cap construction
Can be itchy or uncomfortable to sensitive scalps.
Cap construction can be more hot and bulky.
Unrealistic looking scalp

100% HAND TIED SYNTHETIC AND HUMAN HAIR WIGS

The idea of wigs being hot, heavy and uncomfortable is true but wigs are not all made the same. Depending on the wig cap can determine the comparability and flexibility of each wig. 100% hand tied synthetic and human hair wigs weigh less then 2 ounces in weight, leaving you feeling light and comfortable. In the picture above you can see that the cap is constructed very differently from a machine made wig. The 100% hand tied synthetic and human hair wigs have each fiber or hair individually hand sewn into the soft mesh cap.  This technique recreates the movement of the way our natural hair moves and lays. Unlike machine made’s 100% hand tied cap’s have a very natural looking scalp giving the illusion of real hair. This type of cap gives you the option to change your part and customize your wig even more to how you like to wear your hair. The caps are fitted and lay smoothly against your head which makes it feel like there is nothing is on your head. Wigs with realistic scalp appearances really tie your whole look together and make your hair look thick, yet real. Overall 100% hand tied synthetic and human hair wigs are more expensive but can you put a price tag on comfortability, natural looking, light weight and happiness?

Pros:
Light weight and comfortable
Natural looking, moves the way natural hair does
Soft, fitted, comfortable cap construction
Natural looking scalp making it easy to part.

Cons:  
Not a lot of volume
More expensive
Not a ton of hair
