When should you take the plunge and try hair supplements?

When you have androgenetic alopecia and suffer from chronic hair loss, you can sometimes develop significant physical complexes in your daily life. Progressive hair loss and seeing your scalp gradually thinning over the years is very painful for a woman. Androgenetic alopecia can severely undermine femininity and self-esteem.

Nowadays, there are real solutions to this aesthetic problem, including hair accessories such as toppers wigs. However, taking the plunge and wearing a hair accessory hair not always easy psychologically, and many women wonder when the right time is to start wearing a topper wig.

Should you wait until your hair is very thin and your alopecia becomes visible to those around you? Or, on the contrary, is it more reasonable to consider this type of solution as soon as the first signs of alopecia appear?

In this article, you will find my testimony about this stage of the transition to hair replacement hair my advice on determining the best time for you to consider this type of solution.

The psychological consequences of androgenic alopecia

When I was diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia at around the age of 20, the effects of the condition were still barely visible. However, as the years went by, my scalp began to thin significantly. It became increasingly difficult for me to hide the problem with hairstyling strategies. Thickening powder was also becoming insufficient to conceal my hair loss. This became a real complex for me. All I could see in the mirror was my alopecia. I no longer felt pretty and simply couldn't be beautiful anymore. And it was pointless to try to be, because who could be beautiful when they were going bald?

Spending several years perceiving myself in this way inevitably had an impact on my self-esteem. I no longer wanted to look at myself, to face the sad reality. I would avert my eyes when looking in the mirror, or, conversely, I would focus my attention solely on my thinning scalp. I had become alopecia, nothing but alopecia.

From the testimonials I regularly receive on Comme un diadème's social media pages, I have noticed that many women have similar experiences due to hair loss. Some women count the number of hairs they lose each day. Others no longer dare to leave their homes or spend entire evenings crying or consulting forums dedicated to this problem. The psychological impact of androgenic alopecia can be very significant and considerably affect quality of life.

I myself let alopecia ruin part of my life for several years. Then I decided to move forward, face the problem head-on, and try the solutions available to me.

Switching to the hair supplement: my turning point!

I first learned about hair toppers when I was about 28 years old, thanks to a YouTube video. However, I didn't really feel ready to try this type of solution. The thought of going to a wig shop, of being one of those women who wear a hairpiece, a toupee... It was all a bit too much for me to contemplate!

But I also thought it was good to know that there was a real aesthetic solution to my problem! I then promised myself that I would consider a hair prosthesis hair my alopecia became too painful to live with on a daily basis.

Four years later, after my first pregnancy, my alopecia had progressed significantly. So had my insecurity about it. I no longer agreed to take photos with my 3-year-old daughter when my hair was too "dirty" to be presentable. The real turning point came when I noticed during a coffee break that one of my colleagues was staring intently at my scalp while I was talking. I could see from her face that she was wondering why my hair was falling out. What's more, this young colleague had beautiful hair, which made it all the more humiliating! 😂

So the trigger for me to switch to the hair topper was to realise that outsiders were noticing my problem.

hair supplement: When should you start?

Many women ask me when is the best time to start using hair supplements. I think they are wondering at what stage of hair loss it is justified to do so. My opinion is that you should try this solution before hair loss has too negative an impact on your life. In fact, the level of psychological distress is not necessarily proportional to the extent of androgenetic alopecia. Some women with very moderate androgenetic alopecia may sometimes suffer much more than women who have lost almost all their hair. The important thing is to assess whether you feel the need to overcome this complex in order to feel good and fulfilled.

hair wigs can really help us feel beautiful again. They allow us to regain our self-confidence. I myself spent several years feeling self-conscious because of my thinning scalp. I felt physically diminished, even though there was a solution that would change my life. If I had to do it again, I think I would do it much sooner to avoid wasting several years feeling self-conscious. So my advice would be not to wait until you are completely unhappy because of your hair loss before considering this solution.

Regarding the extent of alopecia, I would also advise not to wait until the alopecia is too visible. A woman who still has moderate alopecia can switch to the hair supplement hair the transition being noticed by those around her. However, if the alopecia is already quite extensive, it may be more difficult to make the change unnoticeable.

However, switching to hair wigs is not an easy step to take psychologically. It took me four years of reflection to actually take that step. You have to be really ready for it, because a hair prosthesis hair replace the hair you have lost.

A real psychological effort to accept this solution is therefore often necessary for this stage to go as smoothly as possible. A woman who is not completely ready to wear a hair reject this solution permanently for the wrong reasons. As with a tiara, products can be returned after ordering.

Trying a hair supplement hair therefore an important first step in the process. But if the hair supplement hair , it's important to identify the real reasons why. A topper isn't right for you because you don't feel ready could actually be perfect for you a few years down the line 😉. So there will always be time to come back to this solution when you feel truly ready for it 😊.
