Female Hair Loss Specialist in the West Midlands

If you’re a woman experiencing hair loss, we know how tough it can be. As female hair loss specialists, we work with thousands of women who have lost their hair. We’ve seen firsthand how devastating it can be. Since 2016, we’ve worked with women in Birmingham, Solihull and the wider West Midlands, providing specialist solutions to conceal hair loss while also addressing the complicated emotional impact it can have.

Hair Loss Can Affect More Than Your Appearance

Hair isn’t just about how you look. It’s closely tied to our identity and how we express ourselves. It can be a source of comfort, like when you thread it between your finger and thumb when you’re anxious, and even provide feelings of freedom, when it whips the air as you run or jump or dance. And of course, it can bring you confidence. That’s why many women feel ashamed or embarrassed when they begin to lose it.

Hair loss is actually extremely common in women, affecting millions of us in the UK alone, and thousands across Birmingham and Solihull. But that doesn’t necessarily negate the feelings of isolation that many women experience when they lose their hair. Or the frustration you may feel when you’re unable to control what is happening to your body.

 

Hair Loss Solutions Aren’t Always Designed for Women

It doesn’t help that many hair loss solutions either aren’t suitable for women, or don’t address its emotional consequences. Women don’t often qualify for hair transplants, and while medication can help, the results can be disappointing long-term - and if there is scarring, or the hair follicles have been destroyed, it can’t reverse existing hair loss.

Many women opt to disguise their hair loss, often starting with make-up and strategic parting, which doesn’t always work as the hair loss becomes more extensive. Then, wigs and toppers are often used. But these come with problems of their own, too:

They’re not secure, and can shift or come loose
They require lots of maintenance, and you’ll often need more than one
They’re restrictive, and can’t be worn while you sleep, swim, or play sports

Ultimately, women are often faced with the choice between doing what they love, and keeping their hair loss concealed. That’s why hair loss can take more than just your physical hair.

 

 

A Specialist Solution for Women

As female hair loss specialists, we’ve worked hard to create a solution that doesn’t just conceal your hair loss, but gives you back your confidence, comfort, and freedom.

The Intralace System is a full hair replacement, designed to be worn 24/7 - you don’t have to take it off at night, while you shower, or while you play sports. It’s integrated into your real hair, so it’ll never come loose, either. You can do the things you love without worrying about a bald patch showing. You can say yes to last minute plans without stressing about adjusting a wig.

We have multiple options available for the Intralace, from the Intralace Minima for lower-level thinning to the Intralace Freewear for total hair loss. It can be used on a short- or long-term basis, making it an option for some forms of temporary hair loss, such as telogen effluvium, as well as permanent hair loss caused by scarring alopecias

You don’t have to shave your head, and it won’t damage your real hair - it can continue growing beneath the Intralace.

 

Speak with our Female Hair Loss Specialists

We know from speaking to our Birmingham and Solihull clients that many women avoid the hairdresser after experiencing hair loss. They worry about the stylist not knowing how to help. They get self-conscious about the reactions of other clients.

At our West Midlands studio, we specialise in female hair loss. Every client you’ll see in our salon has lost their hair too. And the specialists who work for us are experts in female hair loss. They’ve supported women with all kinds of conditions, from trichotillomania to lichen planopilaris. There’s never any judgement - only empathy and understanding.

We’ll start with a free, no obligation consultation, so we can discuss your hair loss and find the most practical approach for you. Each Intralace System is then custom-made, colour and texture matched to your existing hair, and fitted in our West Midlands salon. If you’d like to take the first step, contact our team today.

 

Frequently asked questions

Why Am I Losing So Much Hair All of a Sudden?

Sudden hair loss can have many possible causes, so it is important to speak with your GP or a suitable specialist if you notice a significant change. At Lucinda Ellery Solihull, we can also offer a free consultation to discuss non-surgical cosmetic options if you are looking for a way to restore the appearance of fuller hair.

Can Thyroid Problems Cause Hair Loss?

Thyroid conditions can be associated with hair loss, so if you are concerned, your GP can advise on appropriate tests and treatment. For women looking for a non-surgical cosmetic solution, our experienced Solihull team can discuss options to help you feel more confident about your hair.

How to Know If My Hair Loss Is Permanent or Temporary

It can be difficult to know whether hair loss will be temporary or permanent without understanding the underlying cause, so professional advice is recommended. Our Solihull team offers a free consultation to discuss your concerns and the non-surgical options available to you.

What Should I Expect During a Hair Transplant Consultation?

A hair transplant consultation will usually look at your hair loss, suitability and what you hope to achieve. While transplants can be a suitable option for some people, women often want more overall fullness and density, which means a transplant may not always provide the result they are looking for. A non-surgical hair system with Lucinda Ellery can be an alternative worth considering.

Are Hair Transplants Worth the Money?

This really depends on the individual and the result they want to achieve. Hair transplants can work well for some people, but women often want more substantial coverage, fullness and density, so a transplant isn't necessarily the best solution for everyone. At Lucinda Ellery Solihull, we offer non-surgical alternatives designed specifically to give women the fuller appearance they are looking for.
