Female Hair Loss Specialist in Manchester

Although we often don’t associate hair loss with women, it affects millions of women in the UK - for all sorts of reasons. As female hair loss specialists, we have spent decades working with women who have lost their hair.

We’ve worked with women in Manchester since 2008, providing a warm and empathetic space for them to discuss their hair loss - and a practical solution to help restore their confidence, comfort and freedom.

Understanding Female Hair Loss

Female hair loss is far more common than you might think. It affects an estimated 8 million women in the UK alone. It can be caused by multiple conditions, and triggered by a number of factors, including genetic, hormonal, or psychological triggers.

 

"The system itself has given me a sense of relief from not having to think about and focus on my hair loss every day and quite honestly has been one of the best decisions I have made. "
Adrienne

 

Conditions include:

Alopecia Areata: an autoimmune condition that causes hair to fall out, often in patches.
Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: a form of scarring alopecia that can cause permanent hair loss, usually affecting the front and sides of the hairline.
Lichen Planopilaris: an inflammatory scalp condition that destroys hair follicles and replaces them with scar tissue, causing permanent hair loss.
Trichotillomania: an impulse control disorder causing irresistible urges to pull out your hair, sometimes resulting in permanent hair loss from damaged follicles.
Female Pattern Hair Loss: a gradual thinning of the hair across the top and crown of the scalp.
Telogen Effluvium: a temporary form of hair shedding that occurs when more hair follicles than usual enter a resting phase, often triggered by physical or emotional stress.

Different hair loss conditions can present in distinct ways, from a progressively receding hairline to diffuse thinning. While some conditions, like telogen effluvium and in some cases alopecia areata, can cause short-term hair loss, damage to the follicles or scarring forms of alopecia can result in permanent hair loss.

While medication can help prevent further hair loss in some cases, it can’t reverse it if there is scarring or the follicles become damaged. Unfortunately, many women don’t qualify for hair transplants because the hair loss tends to be diffuse rather than localised bald spots.

 

 

The Emotional Impact of Female Hair Loss

Losing your hair can be devastating as it is, especially when coupled with the shame and isolation that many women experience alongside hair loss.

As women, our hair is a big part of who we are, and it can even feel tied to our femininity. That’s why many women try to disguise their hair loss with a strategic parting, make-up, or wigs and toppers.

But disguising hair loss can also take a toll. You might find yourself worrying on cold, wet days, where a hood or a hat could dislodge your parting. Or declining invitations because you don’t want to be preoccupied with whether your wig has come loose, or looks too obvious.

You shouldn’t have to choose between living a full life, or worrying about your hair. But for many women that’s exactly what happens.

 

 

 

A Better Way to Disguise Your Hair Loss

We created the Intralace System specifically for women, and it’s designed to address the emotional implications of hair loss as well as physically conceal it - an area where many alternative solutions fall short.

Unlike a wig or a topper, the Intralace is integrated into your natural hair through an ultra-fine, breathable mesh. You wear it 24/7. You can sleep in it, get it wet, and care for it as you would your real hair: washing, brushing and styling it as though it were your own. That means you can get back the things you once took for granted: being able to say ‘yes’ to a last minute plan, without stressing about your hair; being able to feel the comforting weight of it on your shoulders at night.

With full coverage added from real human hair, it’s totally undetectable - especially since we can match the colour and texture to your real hair. And whether you’re on a morning run or dancing with your friends, you never have to worry about it coming loose.
