]]>Dolores did not lose her hair during treatment for cancer but her hair has become thinner than before so she did not require a wig or hair piece.
Pacemaker Required
Dolores also experienced exhaustion and shortness of breath while undergoing treatment, which turned out to be most likely caused by the chemotherapy's effect on the heart's electrical system, which resulted in a slow heartbeat which resulted in her having to get a pacemaker fitted to regulate her heart beat to a normal pace. After finishing her chemotherapy, Dolores had a CAT scan, at which point the doctors told her that the cancerous tumor in her bowel had reduced to the point where they could no longer see it. Dolores will now undergo additional testing before starting her radiation therapy and a five-week course of chemotherapy pills.
]]>The Government announced that those who have hair loss due to illness are now eligible for a new award of up to €500 toward the cost of a hairpiece, wig, or hair replacement, according to a May 2022 announcement from Minister of Social Protection Heather Humphreys.

The award may be available to self-employed individuals who are covered by Class S insurance as well as employees who pay PRSI contributions under Classes A, E, P, and H. Starting on May 28, 2022, the Department of Social Protection will pay the full price of one hair replacement item every calendar year, up to a maximum cost of €500.

Lifestyle factors can also play a role in hair thinning. If you’re not getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, or exercising regularly, you may experience hair thinning. Additionally, using certain hair products, styling tools, and treatments can cause damage to your hair, leading to thinning.
The good news is that there are a number of treatments and solutions available to help you deal with thinning hair. If you’re experiencing thinning hair, it’s important to speak to your doctor about the best course of action for you. Your doctor may recommend medications, lifestyle changes, or other treatments. Additionally, there are a number of products available to help reduce the appearance of thinning hair, such as volumizing shampoos and conditioners. Hair thinning can be a difficult experience, but it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. With the right treatments and lifestyle changes, you can start to see improvements in your hair. In the interim period many of our clients will opt for a non instrusive solution like a human hair wig or hair topper.
Hair Loss
Women across Ireland and beyond experience hair loss for a variety of reasons, and not all of them can be attributed to female pattern baldness. While hair loss is more common in men, it can occur in women as well. For the many clients we see at the Hair Club in Dublin hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors such as hormonal changes, stress, diet, medication, and aging. Hormonal changes, such as those experienced during pregnancy, menopause, and other hormone-related issues, can cause a sudden change in the amount of hair a woman has. Stress, both physical and emotional, can lead to hair loss as well.
A poor Diet can also play a role in hair loss, as a lack of essential vitamins and minerals can lead to thinning hair. Certain medications, such as those used to treat high blood pressure and depression, can also lead to hair loss in women. And finally, the natural aging process can lead to hair loss as well. Fortunately, there are treatments available to help women combat hair loss. These treatments range from lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet and reducing stress, to medical treatments such as medications, topical treatments, and laser therapies.
For most women, hair loss is not a permanent condition, and can be treated with the right combination of lifestyle changes and medical treatments. If you are concerned about your hair loss you can book a consultation with us a we can show you our extensive collection of wigs and hair pieces.
The most common hair used to make wigs is human Remy hair, which is the highest quality human hair available. Remy hair is harvested from a single donor and is cut carefully so that all the cuticles remain intact, which prevents the hair from tangling or losing its shine. Other common types of human hair used in wigs include Chinese, Indian, Brazilian and European hair.
When making a wig from synthetic fibers, several different types of fibers are available, such as kanekalon, futura or modacrylic. Each type of fiber has its own unique properties, such as texture, color, durability and styling ability.
Process
Once the type of hair or fiber has been chosen, the wig maker begins the process of constructing the wig. The first step is to measure the head for the correct sizing and create a wig cap. The wig cap is the base of the wig that will be covered with the hair or fiber and helps to keep the wig secure on the head. The wig cap is usually made from either nylon mesh or elasticized fabric and is stretched over a wooden or plastic block to the desired size.
Next, the hair or fibers are hand-tied or wefted to the wig cap. Hand-tied wefts are small sections of hair or fibers that are tied by hand to the wig cap, whereas wefts are pre-made sections of hair or fibers that are sewn onto the cap. Both techniques help to give the wig a more natural looking hairline.
Once the hair or fibers are attached to the wig cap, the wig maker begins to style the wig. This involves combing the hair or fibers into the desired style and cutting and layering the hair or fibers to create a natural look. The wig can also be colored and styled to match the wearer’s hair.
End Result
The finished wig is then ready for the wearer. The end result is a perfect looking and feeling wig that looks and behaves just like real hair. Wigs made from human hair have a more natural look and can be styled in any way desired. Wigs made from synthetic fibers are more affordable and easier to care for, but they have a more limited styling capability.
Conclusion
Making a wig is a complex process that requires expert skill and precision to create a perfect end result. Different materials are used for creating wigs, such as human hair or synthetic fibers, and each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. The wig maker measures the head, creates a wig cap and attaches the hair or fibers, before styling the wig and creating the desired look. The finished wig looks and behaves just like real hair and can be styled to create any desired look.
In addition to protecting and preserving their remaining hair, wearing a wig can provide an important boost to a woman’s self-confidence. Many women feel more attractive, empowered and complete when wearing a wig. It gives them a sense of control and a more normal appearance as they adjust to their new look during cancer treatment.
For some women, wearing a wig helps them feel more comfortable in social situations. During a time when self-esteem is already fragile, the idea of leaving the house without head covering may be too intimidating. A quality wig can provide them with the confidence to go out and continue to take part in activities they enjoy.
A woman facing cancer may also choose to wear a wig to help her to express her personal style and creativity. A wig can be a fun and versatile way to experiment with new looks. Even if a woman’s hair is beginning to grow back, she may choose to wear a wig to cover her bare patches.
Although there are many reasons why a woman with cancer may want to wear a wig, there are also practical considerations to take into account. It’s important to find a wig that is well-made, comfortable, and suitable for her needs. Synthetic wigs are usually preferred as they are easier to maintain and style. Additionally, a quality wig cap should be worn underneath the wig to help provide a secure fit.
No matter the reasons that a woman may choose to wear a wig, it is crucial for her to remember that her outward appearance does not define her. While it’s important to feel good about the way she looks, her self-worth should not be tied to her hair. Having the courage to face and accept her new look is a powerful and inspiring reminder of her strength and resilience.
At the end of the day, there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to wearing a wig. It is a personal choice that every woman with cancer must make for herself and that is why our wigs shop in Dublin is here for you should you make the decision to wear a hair piece during your treatment. Wearing a wig can be empowering and positive experience and can help to restore a sense of normalcy during a difficult time.

Genetically, some women in Ireland may have a higher predisposition to hair loss due to their family history. Environmental factors, such as stress, diet, medications, and other aspects of daily life, may also contribute to hair loss.
Also hormonal changes are one of the most common causes of hair loss in women that we see at our wigs boutique at The Hair Club in Dublin. Hormonal changes can be caused by pregnancy, menopause, and even from birth control. During pregnancy, an increase in hormones can cause the hair follicles to enter a resting phase, which can cause hair loss. Similarly, menopause can cause a decrease in estrogen, which can lead to thinning hair and hair loss in some women.
In addition, some women may experience hair loss from certain forms of birth control and many of our clients try our hair toppers which gives natural volume on the crown area. In some cases, hair loss in women can be caused by medical conditions such as alopecia areata and telogen effluvium. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to patchy baldness. Telogen effluvium is a condition that causes the hair follicles to enter a resting phase, resulting in hair loss. In addition to these medical conditions, some women may experience hair loss due to stress.
Stress can cause an increase in the hormone cortisol, which can affect the hair follicles and lead to hair loss. Other psychological factors, such as depression or anxiety, can also contribute to hair loss. Diet and nutrition can also play a role in hair loss. Eating a balanced diet that includes foods rich in iron, zinc, and B vitamins can help maintain healthy hair growth. In addition, some women may experience hair loss due to nutrient deficiencies, such as a lack of iron or vitamin D.
Finally, certain medications can also cause hair loss in women. Medications such as high blood pressure medications, chemotherapy drugs, and some antidepressants can all lead to hair loss. It is important to talk to your doctor about any medications that you are taking and to ask about any potential side effects that may include hair loss. Hair loss in women can be a difficult issue to deal with, but it is important to remember that there are treatments available. Talk to your doctor about the potential causes of your hair loss, and they can recommend the best option for you. With the right treatment, you can help reduce the chances of hair loss and have a healthier, fuller head of hair.

]]>Alopecia is a medical condition characterized by hair loss. It can affect both men and women, but it is more common in women. The most common type of alopecia in women is female pattern baldness, which is also known as androgenetic alopecia. This type of alopecia we see at the Hair Club in Dublin is caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors, and it is the most common type of hair loss in women. We have a range of wigs, hair pieces and hair toppers that will blend naturally with your own hair.
The first signs of female pattern baldness are usually thinning hair on the top of the head. This can be followed by a receding hairline, and eventually complete baldness. The rate of hair loss can vary from person to person, and it can be slow or rapid. In some cases, the hair may start to regrow after a period of time, but this is not always the case. Alopecia can be emotionally and psychologically difficult for women to cope with. It can lead to low self-esteem and feelings of insecurity. Women may also experience anxiety and depression due to their hair loss. It is important to seek help if you are struggling with the emotional effects of alopecia. There are several treatments available for alopecia in women. These include medications, topical treatments, and hair restoration surgery. The most common medications used to treat alopecia are minoxidil and finasteride.
Minoxidil is a topical solution that is applied directly to the scalp. It works by increasing blood flow to the scalp, which can promote hair growth. Finasteride is a pill that is taken orally. It works by blocking the production of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is responsible for hair loss. Hair restoration surgery is an option for women who are not responding to other treatments. This type of surgery involves the removal of a strip of scalp and the transplantation of healthy hair follicles. The transplanted hair follicles will begin to grow new hair. It is important to remember that alopecia is not a sign of poor health or a medical condition that needs to be treated. It is a natural condition that can affect anyone, but it is more common in women. If you are experiencing hair loss, it is important to initially talk to your doctor or about your options.

With Dolores's particular diagnoses which is bowel cancer, she was informed by the oncologist doctors at St James Hospital in Dublin that she would not lose her hair due to the specific type of chemotherapy treatment she is undergoing. From our experience many clients with Breast cancer will temporarily lose their hair during chemo.

Ms. Paddy Pender of Alopecia Ireland said:
“I really hope this new grant will help in some small way in improving the quality of life of people who need it. It is designed to support women or men who lose something that so many of us, on a daily basis, take for granted.”]]>
"Many of us struggle to maintain quality wigs, pieces and prostheses as we live with alopecia. This grant will help in no small way to alleviate some of the stress the condition causes us.
“Alopecia affects people in a variety of ways but all of us know the pain of hair loss. We are grateful for the financial support towards restoring our crowning glories!”
