Hair And Scalp Disorders – Kelati Awatef

Enechukwu and Ncoza Dlova Wigs are artificial hairpieces made from either synthetic fibers or natural human hair, worn to conceal hair loss, enhance appearance, or serve as a fashion accessory or statement. For centuries, they have served a variety of purposes—ranging from a remedy for hair loss, to a fashion acces- sory offering versatility and ease in styling, to a symbol of cultural or religious identity—and their popularity has continued to grow.1 They come in a variety of styles, colors, lengths, and textures.

They can be detachable or fixed and can be fashioned as a full cap covering the entire scalp or partial hair systems also called demiwigs.2 Alopecia is a devastating condition with severe psychological ramifications, and impacts the quality of life of those affected.3 In dermatology, wigs are used in managing all forms of alope- cia, including chemotherapy-induced hair loss, and other forms of hair thinning by ameliorating the psychological effects of hair loss.

In these instances, they are called “hair prostheses.”2 With advancements in wig technology, patients now have access to a variety of options, including syn- thetic, human hair, and blended wigs, each offering unique benefits and a broad cost range.4 The wide varieties of wigs allows individuals to experiment with different looks while minimizing damage to the natural hair.

For individuals with afro-textured hair, wigs serve not only as a fashion statement but also as a protective styling option, a solution for hair loss, and a means of managing hair disorders.
