Scalp make-up, Medi Connect and synthetic hair – techniques to disguise hair loss

There are many different ploys you can use to camouflage lost or thinning hair. What you choose depends on the degree of hair loss and how it is manifesting.

Scalp make-up
This is a common way of camouflaging bald patches. It involves spraying the scalp the colour to suit a person’s hair. This is only really suitable for mild, patchy hair loss and is unsuitable for masking greater hair loss for obvious reasons.

Medi connect
This is another way of covering patches of scalp where hair loss has taken place, but it is a bit more sophisticated than scalp make-up. It is similar to hair extensions and thickens up patches where hair is thinning.

Synthetic hair
Another option is synthetic hair which can be woven into real hair for added thickness. It is actually a fibrous plastic that is often used in wigs and also for hair extensions. Human hair extensions are also available for a similar purpose.

The above treatments are unsuitable for greater hair loss for which more comprehensive options are also available. Hair loss consultants will be able to advise you as to what would be best for you.
