Suffering from thinning hair or more severe female hair loss, it can severely damage your confidence and potentially affect your whole life. If you aren’t comfortable with the idea of human hair wigs – as realistic and natural as they look these days – you may need to seek out a more permanent hair loss solution.

The Intralace system is a popular hair replacement solution for many women with hair loss. The system works by integrating a hair replacement prosthesis into your existing hair, making it particularly suitable for women with bald or thinning patches caused by female pattern baldness.

The ultra-fine mesh used to make the prosthesis is breathable, which means it will be comfortable and not too hot.

The Intralace process

There are a number of stages to the Intralace process. These include:

1. The Intralace system mesh is gently introduced between the scalp and the existing hair
2. Intralace Panels containing extra human hair are added to disguise patches of hair loss
3. An Intralace Parting is added (there are many to choose from) to make the finished look completely natural-looking

Should you wish to, you can also use Intralace as a human hair wig if you suffer from total hair loss.

Kayla Martell, the beauty queen from Delaware who started to lose her hair at the age of ten, has placed in the top ten of the Miss America 2011 beauty pageant competition.

Although the eventual winner of the competition – aired in the US last Saturday 15th January – was 17-year-old Miss Nebraska Teresa Scanlan, the youngest to win in 90 years, it was Kayla who garnered the most oppress attention throughout the preliminary rounds.

Kayla, 21, has alopecia areata, a female hair loss condition that first started to show itself when she was in the fifth grade at school. Despite her lack of hair, Kayla has entered and won numerous beauty pageants and eventually became Miss Delaware.

Thanks to audience voting in the America’s Choice category, Kayla became only the third ever Miss Delaware to reach the top ten of the national competition. She wore a series of stunning human hair wigs during the competition, but has competed at beauty pageants bald in order to raise awareness of alopecia areata.

Speaking just before the final Miss America showdown in Las Vegas, Kayla defiantly said:

“You can’t be defined and shouldn’t be defined by your hair,”
