At Strut Hair Solutions, we believe in the power of community, education, and support. As we recognize Alopecia Awareness Month, we want to take a moment to share not just information but also empathy, understanding, and solidarity with those experiencing hair loss.
What is Alopecia?
Alopecia is an umbrella term for various conditions that cause hair loss. Whether it’s Alopecia Areata—an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks hair follicles—or Androgenetic Alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern baldness, the impact goes beyond just the physical.
The Emotional Toll
Hair is a significant part of our identity, reflecting our style, personality, and even mood. So, when hair loss occurs, it can feel like losing a part of yourself. Many in our community have shared how challenging it can be to cope with the changes, the stares, and sometimes, the insensitive comments. That’s why Strut Hair Solutions is here—not just to provide solutions that work but also to offer support and encouragement.
Taking Back Control
While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to alopecia, there are ways to take back control. From custom wigs that give you the style you want to scalp care routines that nurture the hair you have, every step counts. We’re proud to offer a wide range of wigs and hairpieces, along with supportive services like scalp analysis and custom fittings, to help you feel confident, no matter where you are on your hair journey.
Join the Conversation
This Alopecia Awareness Month, we encourage you to join the conversation. Whether you’re sharing your story, offering words of encouragement to someone going through hair loss, or simply educating yourself about the condition, every action helps. Follow us on Instagram @strutwigs and be a part of our supportive community. Together, we can break the stigma and show that beauty comes in all forms—including hair loss.
You’re Not Alone
Remember, you’re not alone in this. Our Strut community is here for you—celebrating your victories, supporting you through challenges, and reminding you that your worth is never defined by your hair. Let’s stand together and continue to uplift and empower one another.

Helena here, channeling my inner Tyra Banks, and I am beyond excited to talk about something super close to my heart: Hair Loss Prevention Month💖 Yes, you heard that right! This month is all about embracing our hair journeys, raising awareness about hair loss, and sharing tips to keep those gorgeous locks healthy and strong. So, let’s dive right in!
The Emotional Impact of Hair Loss
First things first, let’s address the elephant in the room. Hair loss isn’t just about what’s happening on top of your head. It can deeply affect your emotional well-being, too. Many women experience anxiety, depression, and a hit to their self-esteem when dealing with hair loss. It’s so important to remember that you are not alone, and there’s no shame in seeking help. 🌸
Did you know that Tyra Banks herself has struggled with hair loss? Yes, even the fiercest supermodels can face this challenge. Tyra has openly talked about experiencing alopecia due to stress, which makes her even more passionate about raising awareness and supporting those on their hair journey.
Tips to Prevent Hair Loss
Now, let’s get into some fabulous tips to help prevent hair loss and keep your hair looking fierce!
Healthy Diet = Healthy Hair Your hair reflects what you eat. Make sure your diet includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Foods rich in vitamins A, C, D, and E, zinc, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids are essential for hair health.
Be Gentle with Your Hair Treat your hair with love! Avoid excessive brushing, especially when it’s wet. Use a wide-tooth comb and be gentle to prevent breakage.
Limit Heat Styling I know, I know! We all love our blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons, but too much heat can damage your hair. Try to limit heat styling and always use a heat protectant spray.
Scalp Care is Key A healthy scalp is the foundation of healthy hair. Regular scalp massages can boost blood circulation and promote hair growth. Also, make sure to keep your scalp clean and moisturized.
Avoid Tight Hairstyles Constantly pulling your hair back tightly can cause stress and lead to hair loss. Opt for looser styles and give your hair a break from tight ponytails and buns.
Regular Trims Regular trims can prevent split ends and keep your hair looking healthy. Aim for a trim every 6-8 weeks.
The Power of Support
Remember, you don’t have to go through this alone. Whether you’re dealing with hair loss or just looking to keep your hair healthy, there’s a community out there ready to support you. At Strut Hair Solutions, we’re here to help you feel confident and beautiful every step of the way.
Join the Movement
This Hair Loss Prevention Month, let’s stand together and support each other. Share your hair journey, tips, and stories with the hashtag #HairLossAwareness. Let’s empower each other and celebrate our beautiful, unique hair!
Stay fierce and fabulous,
Helena

Hair loss is a common concern among women, impacting not just physical appearance but also emotional well-being. While factors like genetics and aging are well-known causes, there are lesser-known reasons behind hair loss that might surprise you. In this guide, we’ll explore some unexpected culprits behind hair fall and how Strut Hair Solutions can assist you in addressing this concern.
Stress and Anxiety:
Excessive stress and anxiety can lead to a condition known as telogen effluvium, where hair follicles enter a resting phase prematurely, causing hair to shed. Managing stress through relaxation techniques, exercise, and seeking support can help mitigate hair loss.
Hormonal Imbalance:
Hormonal fluctuations due to pregnancy, menopause, thyroid disorders, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can disrupt the hair growth cycle, resulting in hair thinning or shedding. Seeking medical guidance and hormonal balance can aid in addressing this issue.
Nutritional Deficiencies:
Inadequate intake of essential nutrients like iron, vitamin D, and biotin can contribute to hair loss. A balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals is crucial for maintaining healthy hair growth.
Medications:
Certain medications such as antidepressants, blood thinners, and chemotherapy drugs can cause hair loss as a side effect. Consult your healthcare provider if you notice hair fall after starting a new medication.
Hair Styling Habits:
Excessive heat styling, tight hairstyles (like ponytails or braids), and chemical treatments can weaken hair strands and lead to breakage or hair loss. Opt for gentle styling techniques and limit the use of heat styling tools.
Scalp Conditions:
Conditions like dandruff, psoriasis, or fungal infections can impact hair health and contribute to hair fall. Treating underlying scalp issues can promote healthier hair growth.
Understanding the unexpected factors contributing to hair loss is the first step toward addressing this concern. At Strut Hair Solutions, we empathize with the challenges of hair loss and offer personalized solutions to help you regain confidence in your appearance. Whether through hairpieces, wigs, scalp treatments, or expert guidance, we’re here to support you on your journey to healthier, fuller hair.

As many of us have come to know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.You may be thinking ‘who still hasn’t heard about breast cancer?’ Well while most of us have heard of or know someone that has been affected by this horrible disease yet there are still many facts that a lot of people don’t know of such as; breast cancer is the most common cancer among women globally, with approximately 2.3 million new cases diagnosed each year according to the World Cancer Research Fund.
While the focus during this month is primarily on early detection and treatment, it’s also essential to shed light on the often-overlooked aspect of breast cancer: its impact on hair health.
One of the biggest reasons we focus on hair is, because for a lot of people their hair is a fundamental aspect of their identity and self-esteem. For many individuals, and especially women hair loss can be emotionally distressing, affecting their self-confidence and body image. Breast cancer and its treatments can have a significant effect on a person’s hair. The most well-known side effect is hair loss, medically referred to as alopecia. There can be many factors as to why someone would lose their hair during their treatment, such as;
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is a common treatment for breast cancer, but it affects not only cancer cells but also rapidly dividing healthy cells, including those responsible for hair growth. This can result in significant hair thinning or complete hair loss.
Hormone Therapy: Some breast cancer treatments, like hormone therapy, can lead to changes in hair texture and even hair thinning.
Stress: A breast cancer diagnosis and its treatment journey can be incredibly stressful. Stress is a known factor in hair loss, and it can exacerbate hair-thinning issues.
While the journey can be exhausting and strenuous there can be some glimmers of something fun. That’s where we hope to help you get there with hair! Whether it’s helping someone choose a wig that makes you feel like the you of yesteryear or a brand new you. We love seeing a smile brought back to a client’s (new friend’s) face when they get to try on a wig and be whoever they choose to be. They’re no longer a ‘cancer patient’ ; they’re now ‘Mary with the fun bob cut’, or ‘Shannon with perfectly framed bangs!’ The feeling of restoring someone’s confidence is the reason we do what we do. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an important time to educate, support, and honor those impacted by breast cancer. By understanding the effects of breast cancer treatments on hair health and the journey that individuals go through, we can empower them to face this challenge with greater confidence and resilience.
This October we’ll be showing our support, through education on our social platforms and by wearing our pink hair! As you show your support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, remember that the journey for individuals affected by breast cancer extends beyond October. Let’s continue to raise awareness, provide support, and advocate for better solutions for those facing this diagnosis. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of breast cancer survivors and fighters, one strand at a time. Wear pink hair and show you care.

Who else is feeling the summer heat? For those of us who have long hair, it’s easy to pull it up into an updo. But what about us who wear alternative hair, like wigs or hair pieces? How do you make a wig feel cooler? How do you wear your wig in an updo?
Well, that’s what we’re here for at Strut! Let’s get you glammed up for summer.
First, let’s look at the difference between synthetic and human hair pieces.
This is a pretty big factor when it comes to staying cool in the heat. Synthetic fibers are made from plastic, and while the wefts inside of the wig cap are breathable, the material itself doesn’t lend to a cool feeling. Human hair wigs and hair pieces are, just like our own hair, a 100% natural fiber. Plus, most of our human hair wigs and hair pieces are actually hand tied. This means that someone legitimately tied every single strand of hair on the cap, which makes the cap extremely breathable.
If you choose to go with a synthetic hair piece or wig during the summer, we always recommend shorter styles, as they keep any heat off your neck.
Also, when it comes to staying cool in synthetic wigs…don’t forget that synthetic pieces never lose their style! This means that if they get wet, they go back to their original style as soon as they dry. Do you know where we’re going with this?
That’s right–take a spray bottle and spray your head if you’d like! If that keeps you cool in scorching weather, don’t fear for your hairstyle! It’ll go right back to its original ‘do.
Note that this would work for human hair pieces too, but they’re NOT like synthetic pieces, so they won’t go back to their original style after (just like our own natural hair). You’ll need to restyle just a bit.
Lastly, let’s take a look at some ways to put our wigs and hair pieces in updos!
Here are a few tips to consider first:
1. Use WIG-friendly hair products.
We always recommend using styling products that were specifically made for synthetic hair on your synthetic pieces, and ones made for human hair pieces on those.
Because what you’ll be styling is not attached to your scalp like your natural hair is. Make sure you don’t tug too much on your piece. Also, because there’s a wig cap underneath the hair, always make sure your styles hide the edges of the cap.
It all comes down to what type of hair piece you’re wearing (a wig or extensions), and the length.
If you’re wearing a short wig, you can:
Pull the sides back with bobby pins or decorative clips.
Take a center section from the front of the wig and create some top volume.
If you’re wearing a long wig, you can:
Put it into a low ponytail
Pull it up into a half updo
Secure the edges with bobby pins or decorative clips
If you’re wearing extensions:
Put your hair into any updo you’d like! Just, as mentioned above, don’t forget to pull it loosely when styling to a.) protect your scalp from too much pulling and to b.) make sure the extension wefts remain hidden so they look completely natural.
We wish you the best of luck styling your alternative hair!
Much love,
The Strut Team
