What is alopecia areata
Alopecia Areata is a type of hair loss that occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicle, Which is where hair growth begins. The damage to the follicle is usually not permanent. Experts do not know why the immune system attacks the follicles. Alopecia areata is most common in people younger than 20, but children and adults of any age may be affected. Women and men are affected equally.
what causes alopecia areata
It can be caused by the body’s immune system attacking its own hair follicles in response to an infection, injury, or another type of stress. Alopecia Areata is not contagious and doesn’t affect one’s health in any way. The most important thing for people with alopecia areata is to continue their daily life as normal and seek support from loved ones and friends who will help them through this difficult time.

These hands-on sessions provide patients with the opportunity to forget about their illness and enjoy a time of pampering, fun, and laughter. They meet and share with others going through similar experiences and, most importantly, look and feel fabulous when they leave the session. And when a woman takes control of looking good, something wonderful happens …. She feels better too!

Today, there are so many people that suffer from hair loss. It is not something to be ashamed of and it is normal for anyone to feel self-conscious about their appearance when they lose their hair. Hair loss can happen at any age, but typically it’s most common in women after menopause because the body produces less estrogen which can lead to thinning or balding of the scalp over time. We have a number of women who come into our wig showroom with fears about how they will look after losing their hair and we want them to know that we have wigs for every occasion! Wearing a wig can give you confidence and make you feel like yourself again. A visit to our Wig Showroom in Cape Town could be just what you need!
