Toppers for Severe Hair Loss in Women with Alopecia

Hi there, my name is Jessica.  My hair loss journey started about two years ago when I noticed two teeny tiny spots in the front of my head. I thought it was just a little bit of hair loss and it will grow back. Unfortunately, that was not the case and I was diagnosed with cicatricial alopecia. For the last two years, I’ve had very extensive and progressive hair loss. Cicatricial alopecia is a type of alopecia also known as scarring alopecia and that means that scar tissue actually develops over the hair follicle. So when the hair falls out it has no chance of ever returning. The diagnosis of alopecia felt like a crushing blow. I was not hopeful that I would ever be able to have a normal hairstyle ever again.

I first found out about toppers for severe hair loss when I visited my first wig shop after getting the diagnosis of alopecia. I came in not knowing what she was going to do or how she was going to help me. And the lady said I have an idea let me go show you what I have. She came out, I didn’t know if it was going to be a wig or extensions or what. She came out with the easy part xl by Jon Renau, and it was the perfect fit for me. I put it on and I immediately felt hopeful, that’s the best word I can describe it. I walked in feeling like I would never have a normal hairstyle again and walked out feeling like no one will ever know now that I have this on

The thing I would tell someone who is newly diagnosed and looking at hair loss options is. It will be hard at first, but take comfort in knowing that it will get better. A diagnosis of alopecia is never fun and coming to grips with the idea that you’re going to have to wear hair in order to cover your thinning or bald spots is not easy. But it will get easier and it may not happen right away. But, if you give it some time you’ll get the confidence back that you once lost.

I gave wearing hair toppers for severe hair loss a little bit of thought and realized that if I was able to overcome the stigma of hair loss and the insecurity I wanted to be able to help others do the same thing.

The thing I’ve learned most about the hair loss community is that it’s a very loving community. Everybody knows what it’s like to go through the same experience you have. To be in the Jon Renau office and take off my topper and expose my biggest insecurity and feel completely at ease and completely accepted, has been the best part. If you would have told me when I got my first topper you’re actually going to go there you’re going to model with them you’re going to be with them and you’re going to be a part of their family. I would have never believed it. It meant everything and it could not have been a better experience.

We’ve had so many people loving on us and helping us and giving us support throughout this journey. And giving us the opportunity to call them and contact them at a later time, has been amazing. I would never have believed that a company could have so many loving and welcoming people. I have not met one cross person one angry person. They’re all amazing, they’re all beautiful, they’re all stylish. They all love to wear hair and it really makes me feel like they know what they’re doing and they really love it.
