Case Study #HL006
This client's traction alopecia was caused by badly fitted human hair
extensions. Human hair extensions are typically applied with glue and
removed with acetone (i.e. nail polish remover) so the potential for
damage is great. In addition, the weight of human hair extensions can
"pull" at the scalp, causing the damage you see here. That's why, for
our fashion extensions,
we use a synthetic fibre that's half the weight of human hair and applied
and removed without the use of any chemicals. At the time of writing,
this client's hair was showing a distinct improvement, although full
regrowth in the damaged areas will take many months. In the meantime,
our cosmetic
techniques have truly transformed her look, allowing her to continue
her work as a model. And, just to show the flexibility of styling, we've
included pictures showing both a "curly" and "straight" look - and remember
that these are styles that the client can achieve herself with a few
rollers and a blowdryer.
