When you look in the mirror, are you seeing thinning hair? Hair that won’t grow like it used to? Is this affecting your self confidence? Perhaps your hair has been damaged from at-home or in-salon chemical processes like coloring, bleaching, perming or chemical relaxing.

If you are looking for a solution to your thinning hair that does not involve surgery or you are looking for a solution that will give you fantastic color effects without the use of chemicals; you will be thrilled to hear about Micro Point Solutions by Cyberhair.

What happens when hair won’t grow or grows only to a certain point before breaking off? When hair is not growing there is no shine and it is dull and lifeless. This kind of hair is not flattering and does nothing to help frame the face. What about hair that is so thin the scalp shows through? What about Alopecia Areata, where the hair suddenly falls out in patches leaving bald spots? This can strike male or female and does not discriminate based on age. Are there solutions for these problems available for the average person?

Many of us dream of beautiful hair but for those with the issues discussed above, it may seem like an impossible dream. Fortunately, because of advances in technology, materials and expertise, professionals are making this dream come true for people of all ages. These professionals help by offering products, treatments and systems which can help improve the look, quality and performance of damaged hair. They can help in selecting, fitting and styling wigs and hair pieces to replace hair which has been lost. Progressive salons such as Fantasia, have educated, compassionate professionals who work with clients to help them resolve all of their hair concerns.

Typically, the journey to resolve hair loss or thinning hair will begin with treating the scalp. This facilitates healing and can help stimulate hair growth. A trained professional can work with with existing hair to style it in such a way as to minimize the thinning hair, thereby making the client feel more comfortable immediately. Or, if the client is ready, they can be given a whole new beautiful look which will shine, have great texture and color and be a true enhancement to the face. This could be in the form of a hair replacement system (wig) or, with one of many solutions such as micro point links.

Today, there are a wealth of options for those with thinning hair and hair loss. Unfortunately, the average person is not aware of these options and it may seem like a fairy tale to them that they could ever have beautiful hair. At Fantasia, we consider it our responsibility to help women discover all of the choices available to them. A hair replacement specialist may become the best friend they have ever had. When someone can change a life by boosting one’s self-esteem and confidence, that is huge, not to mention priceless!

For the most part, over the years, wigs have been called…wigs. Today that’s changed and wigs are called many different things. Wigs have come a long way in terms of looking natural and being basically undetectable. What is really exciting however, is that the industry has so much more to offer for hair loss than just wigs.
There are non-surgical hair additions which are external hair-bearing devices added to the existing hair or scalp to give the appearance of a fuller head of hair. Today, in this category, there are a range of choices including hair extensions, micro point links, accents, hairpieces, integrations and partial hair replacements. These devices may consist of human hair, synthetic fiber, a combination of both, or Cyberhair. (Not all salons carry Cyberhair, Fantasia is one of a couple salons in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area offering this awesome product.)

Today, partial hair additions in the above mentioned forms, have become more popular than wigs. They are attached in a variety of ways, some very labor intensive, but are virtually undectectable. Not everyone is a candidate for every type of hair replacement. At Fantasia, we will first visit with you to determine which would be your best option.

Many factors would determine which product would be the best fit. How active are you? Do you work out and swim? How healthy is your existing hair? At Fantasia, rather than simply selling you something; we would begin by putting you on Hair Support System to strengthen your hair for a better foundation for the treatment you select. There are replacement treatments Fantasia will not do such as weaves and some types of hair extensions because they can cause permanent damage to the hair. Fantasia is very particular about the hair replacement systems we offer and uses only those which will enhance hair without damaging it.

Some hair replacement systems use skin as the anchor site which require adhesives such as two sided tapes and water-proof liquids. Fantasia has researched these products and uses only those which are determined safe by dermatologists.

Cause of hair loss or thinning hair would be a determining factor for what hair replacement system you would want to consider. If hair loss is due to chemotherapy or physical issues; you should probably choose a full wig. Fantasia has been customizing wigs since the 1970’s and has a full inventory of synthetics and human hair wigs ranging in price from $200. to $5000. The process begins by bringing you in for a no cost, no obligation consultation.

The various hair systems have a broad range in terms of costs. Some treatments such as micro point links, have to be maintained and require a visit to the salon every 5-6 weeks. Again, based on your consultation and selection of hair replacement, Fantasia will be give you all of the facts up front. You will leaving knowing what the costs are and what the maintenance is going to be. This will allow you to make an informed decision.

Things to consider:

Insurance generally does not cover the costs for male or female pattern hair loss. It may however, cover the cost of a hair addition when the loss is caused by disease or other abnormalities. Always be prepared to cover the cost yourself and consider it a nice surprise if your insurance pays anything.

If you elect to wear a wig and lead a busy life style, you may want to think about having two systems. They get dirty and need to washed and restyled, depending on the frequency of wear. Sometimes it’s nice to have a second one so you always have a fresh look. And, eventually both will need to be replaced, again due to frequency of wear and the quality of the hair replacement system. Even a human hair system, which can be dyed, brushed and permed to match your own hair, will break down eventually. Unlike your own hair which is constantly growing and renewing itself, the wig is going to have to be replaced. Many factors contribute to the time frame of this and the experts at Fantasia will be happy to educate you.

With all of the options for thinning hair and hair loss today, there is something for everyone no matter the lifestyle or the budget!
