Hair Loss Awareness Month Wigs Near Me

August 2025: National Hair Loss Awareness Month

From All of Us at Strut Hair Solutions

August is National Hair Loss Awareness Month – a time to raise awareness, share real stories, and remind anyone experiencing hair loss: you are not alone.

Recognized by the Society of Dermatology Nurse Practitioners, this month shines a light on an issue that affects millions but often goes unspoken. At Strut Hair Solutions, we’ve spent more than 24 years helping people feel confident again through expert care, personalized solutions, and compassionate service.

Hair loss awareness isn’t just about talking – it’s about support, action, and hope.

Why Hair Loss Awareness Matters

  • It’s more common than you think. Over 80 million Americans experience hair loss. It affects all ages and genders…not just men. In fact, 40% of those affected are women. 
  • It impacts more than appearance. Hair loss can deeply affect self-esteem, confidence, and mental health. 
  • Understanding the causes of hair loss. From stress and hormonal changes to styling habits and medical treatments, hair loss can happen to anyone. You may not even realize someone you know is going through it. Raising awareness helps create understanding, compassion, and support for those facing this often difficult journey. 

At-Home Tips to Support Healthy Hair

Small, consistent changes can help protect and strengthen your hair:

  1. Feed your follicles. Eat a nutrient-rich diet with protein, iron, zinc, and omega-3s to reduce shedding and improve scalp health. Or try our No. 5 Hair Nutrition Supplements, a proprietary blend designed to support hair, scalp, and anti-aging goals. 
  2. Manage stress. Stress-related hair loss (like telogen effluvium) is real. Incorporate daily breathwork, meditation, or use our No. 0 Scalp Renewal Brush for a relaxing scalp massage. 
  3. Be gentle. Avoid tight hairstyles, excessive heat styling, and over-washing. Choose clean, hydrating hair products to keep your scalp nourished. And at night, try Unveil Dreamscape Sleep Bundle, which includes products designed to minimize damage and preserve your hairstyle overnight. 
  4. Care for your scalp. A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair. Our HydraFacial Keravive Scalp Detox & Cleanse deeply cleanses and revitalizes, while our Essentials Kit helps maintain results between appointments.

Local Strut Hair Solutions Founder Unveils Restorative Hair Care Solution

March 22, 2023

Helena Gibson founded Strut Hair Solutions 21 years ago to help women struggling with thinning hair, a mission that began with her mother. “Her scalp would sunburn if she was in the sun too long or she’d avoid dating and social events because of her hair,” Gibson recalls. “I knew other women must feel the same way.”

She identified a void in the market for women with genetic thinning, like her mother, temporary hair loss due to menopause or post-partum and/or medical hair loss caused by chemotherapy, alopecia, trichotillomania and other conditions.

Over the years, Strut Hair Solutions has helped thousands of women in need of more hair become their best selves!

 

Today, Strut Hair Solutions is a space for women to feel vibrant, sexy and, above all, free of negative self-image caused by hair loss. Strut carries the best in European hair wigs, Remy hair extensions, top-of-the-head pieces, natural topical solutions and non-invasive laser hair restoration treatments. Recognizing that high-quality hair solutions are an investment, Strut also provides washing, cutting and styling services.

“I am always inspired by the change in a client’s demeanor when we find the perfect hair solution for her,” Gibson says. “We always say: She walks in and then struts out!” The secret to Gibson’s success is hiring a team of professionals based on their passion and positive attitude.

“You can teach skills, but not attitude, that comes from within,” she says.

But she isn’t stopping there. Gibson recently launched her own product line, Unveil Restorative Hair Care, which includes a thickening/hair growth serum as the hero product. “I have taken the last 21 years of experience with clients telling me what was important to them, as well as selling other hair-thickening products, to truly understand what’s needed most for my customers.”

Unveil Restorative Hair Care treats the causes of hair loss and delights each client with a fuller, thicker and richer head of hair.

You can find out more about Gibson’s new product line of hair thickening/hair growth products, or to shop online, by visiting StrutHairSolutions.com or by calling 858-755-9447 to schedule a consultation with her team of hair specialists.

Rene of Paris Launches New Spring 2018 Wig Collection

Hello Strut Tribe…We have exciting news for you! Rene of Paris just launched the new spring wig collection and we have to say this is one of the best collections we’ve see from them with in a while. We received our stock and the same day we put the wigs out in the Solana Beach location we sold out and had to reorder, that’s a new first! We’ve got a new saying in the studio “wig envy” and when you strut in one of these sexy styles you’ll get so many compliments on your hair. 

Let us tell you a bit about these new wigs, there are 3 new synthetic wigs. One sleek short bob Kai, medium length with soft face framing layers Dakota and finally a long sexy beach wave wig Raylee.

All 3 wigs are lace front with lace part construction, offering the most natural looking hair line.  Another bonus 2 new amazing colors: Melted Marshmallow & Melted Sunset. (If you want to know more about lace front and cap construction check out our  https://struthairsolutions.com/wigs/wig-gallery/  which will give you more information)

So, I (Helena) was chatting with Kayla our store manager in Solana Beach last week about her shoes, some how I mentioned the amount of shoes she had, it was so great, she turned and looked at me and said I don’t invest in shoes, I have WIGS! That was the best! HAHA.  Let’s add to your collection, as you know there is nothing like fresh hair! Come see us and try these fabulous styles on, you’ll be glad you did.

Lace Front Wigs Can Help Beat the Heat!

/in , , , , , /by

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?

/in , , , , /by

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. Kims 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 Kims 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?

/in , , , , /by

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
