Camouflage Hair Styling for Hair-loss //⁣ ⁣ I’ve seen lots of camouflage styling for advanced hair loss on social media but sadly, while well intentioned and show skinful display of styling expertise, unfortunately some of these hair styles are not appropriate for the type of hair loss which may end up adversely affecting the individuals. ⁣ ⁣ Because progression of hair loss can be slow in scarring hair loss like central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia and lichen plano pilaris, often times people tend to focus on camouflaging the hair loss instead of seeking early medical intervention which is very important in improving outcomes of treatment and halting progression of condition.⁣ ⁣ For such types of hair loss, it’s essential to avoid braiding in the area of extensive hair loss where scalp and hair are already fragile. This is also to reduce risk of damaging remaining hair follicles that can prove essential for hair transplant should a patient be a candidate. Low tension wigs that offer less tension, concealing powders, sprays, surgical tattoos should be considered where appropriate to mask hair loss. ⁣ ⁣ Stylist, patient and derm should work together in identifying the most suitable option for the kind of hair loss. Refer client to derm if not already seeing one or ask client to inquire from their doctor on what style would be appropriate.
