Understanding Alopecia: More Than Just Hair Loss

/1 Comment/in , , , , , , /by

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.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Shedding Light on the Impact of Hair Health

/in , , , , , , /by

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.

Look great for summer pictures with STRUT’s Summer Hair!

/1 Comment/in , , , , /by

Today is the first day of summer, long warm days ahead, vacations with our families, etc, sounds lovely until we get anxiety about our hair. We all want to look great for the poolside selfie, summer weddings and Strut Hair Solutions is here to keep you looking your best all season long.  Raquel Welch stated for her new 2016 summer collection “This is the season to live beautifully, why not have a love affair with your hair?” I liked that. Why not! When our hair looks great we have a confidence that we radiate to others, and we feel like a million bucks. So my question would be, “How can we create that everyday this summer and look our best?” The answer, my friend, is adding wigs or hair extensions to your beauty regime. Celebrities have been using alternative hair for decades, now it’s your turn. Let’s explore your options to your best summer hair.

Wigs

New Raquel 2016 Collection – Ready to wear hair!

Wigs– There is a myth that all wigs are hot, don’t breathe, and/or look fake, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Today wigs come less than 2 oz, these wigs are 100% hand tied where every hair is hand knotted causing the hair to look like it is growing our of your scalp. With 100% hand knotted wigs you also have the most breathe ability. The material used to knot the hair is so thin and in most cases super soft. Once you have this wig on for say 10 minutes you’ll forget you have it on and I tell my clients the wig kinda becomes a part of you. With ready to wear wigs you truly never have a bad hair day, just shake and go. As for looking fake, no way, at STRUT Hair Solutions we customize and cut the wig to fit your face shape and help you choose the most flattering color.  Wigs are great for vacation so your not spending all your time on your hair and wedding pictures look great you don’t have to worry about flat hair or thin spots showing.

 

 

 

 

Before After Natural Part

Hair Topper-Fills hair in at the crown get more volume/fullness

Summer Hair Toppers – If you don’t feel like a wig is for you, maybe you’re just thinning on the crown we offer hair toppers.  These the best for our thinning hair clients! These come in a variety of sizes and colors and fit to the thinning areas on the top of your head. They add coverage, volume, and fullness to the areas you need. Most client’s love this option as their own hair is integrated with the hair topper giving a seamless transition from topper to your hair. I do highly recommend human hair for your hair toppers to get the most natural blend.  Hair toppers are easy to travel with and are light weight and cool, just like the 100% hand tied wig after a few minutes you’ll forget you have anything on at all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

18" Clip in Remy Human Hair Extenstions

18″ Clip in Remy Human Hair Extensions

Summer Hair Extensions – These are great for adding length, volume or both. Easy to use with clip in hair (no commitment) or we can apply a semi permanent option for you (lasts up to 4 months).  If your hair won’t grow any more past a certain length or keeps breaking off, hair extensions are the solution for you.  Clip-in hair extensions are great for brides, wear your hair down or have more fullness for an up do.  My girl friends love them when they go out on dates, just gives that extra boost of confidence. Who doesn’t want full hair? Come in today for a consultation with one of our hair addition experts and see what more hair can do for you. www.struthairsolutions.com

 

Suffering from thinning hair? STRUT helps the 1 in 4 U.S. women!

/in , , , , /by

Did you know that 1 in 4 women in the U.S. are suffering from thinning hair?  This can really affect a woman’s confidence. At STRUT Hair Solutions, we offer many options that aren’t limited to wigs for thinning hair.

Suffering from thinning hair?

First, let’s get the hair and scalp in great condition. There are many cosmetic products available at your local drug store or beauty supply, but these products don’t solve the issue; they offer a temporary fix. At STRUT Hair Solutions, we carry pharmaceutical grade products that have DHT blockers and other ingredients to make your hair stronger and stop any more shedding. This option will take some time to see results; however, why not use a product that promotes hair growth?

Secondly, there are hair toppers and hair pieces. These are pieces of hair that secure to the top of your head. They can be secured via pressure clips or bonding. The top of the head is the area most women experience hair thinning and the scalp showing. We recommend remy human hair to get the most seamless blend with your own hair, since a hair topper/hair piece is incorporated with your hair. This way you can style the hair piece just as you would your own hair.  You will walk out feeling sexy, and looking years younger. Full hair is youthful, and a hair topper can give you that.

Lastly, if your hair loss is severe or if you want the easiest quickest fix, say goodbye to bad hair days and hello to wigs. Wigs get a bad rap, but they are truly amazing! No one will know you’re wearing a wig. Hand tied, monofilament, and lace-front wigs are less than 3oz in weight, so they’re extremely light and cool on the scalp. We tell clients in our studio that the thin mesh used in wigs now is so transparent that it looks like the hair is growing out of your head. The only thing you will notice is the amount of compliments about your hair you’re getting.

For wigs, you have the choice between remy human hair wigs or synthetic hair wigs. During your consultation, our hair addition experts will discuss with you which option would be best for your lifestyle and budget. Human hair looks the most natural. It has the most versatility and definitely has the longest wear.

Synthetic hair wigs are what we call ‘Shake-and-Go’ hair. The colors of synthetic wigs are super vibrant, and the wigs come pre-styled. Usually, we only need to thin some of the hair out and trim the bangs to make it custom fit your face shape. We include those services with any wig, hair extension, or hair piece you buy from us.  You’ll look like you spent hours on your hair and in minutes you’ll look fabulous.

We tell our clients that if you wear your hair above the shoulder, go for the synthetic wigs. If you prefer longer hair, remy human hair wigs are perfect for you.

Please feel free to come in to the location nearest you in Fresno or San Diego, email us any questions you may have, or schedule a consultation with us. We are here to help you overcome suffering from thinning hair.
