Alopecia and Wigs: What Alopecia Influencers Think About The Wig Fix

Alopecia–an umbrella term used to categorise hair loss–comes in many different forms. While some are genetic, some are caused by health issues and others like traction alopecia are caused by lifestyle issues.

Finding ways to live with it can be difficult which is why online influencers are a great way for those living with alopecia to find new communities to engage with that understand what they're going through and can help recommend them new products to use that may help them. Products such as the Wig Fix.

Designed to keep wigs secure without damaging natural hair, its inventor Aasiyah Abdulsalam created the Wig Fix after struggling with traction alopecia caused by excessive use of traditional wig attachment methods.

Like her, other people who live with alopecia have found the Wig Fix to be the perfect addition to their beauty routines. Keep reading to find out what alopecia influencers Gabriela Soares, Jeana Turner and Thee Glamoligist think about the Wig Fix.

from the start

Most fit problems trace back to how the measurement was taken, not the number itself.

A soft fabric measuring tape — metal tapes give inaccurate readings.

With or without wig cap? If you plan to wear one, measure with it on.

Snug, not tight. The tape should sit firmly but not indent your skin.

A mirror or a friend. A second set of hands improves accuracy.

Circumference

Place the tape around your head at the hairline — approximately ¼ inch above your eyebrows and ears. Bring it around the back at the base of your skull. Keep the tape parallel to the floor the entire way around.

Why it mattersThis is the primary anchor. When you're between sizes, circumference is always the tiebreaker.

Common mistakeTipping the tape up at the back. Keep it level all the way around.

Enter your circumference

inches

This number takes precedence

Front to Nape

Start at your natural hairline at the center of your forehead. Run the tape back over the crown to the nape of your neck where your hairline ends. Let the tape follow the curve of your head.

Why it mattersDetermines nape comfort over a full day. If slightly short, you'll feel it by afternoon.

Common mistakeStarting from the scalp instead of the hairline. Always begin at the hairline.

Affects nape comfort over long wear

Ear to Ear

Begin at the top of one ear where it starts to curve. Bring the tape up and over the crown to the same point on the opposite ear. The tape runs across the top of your head, not around it.

Why it mattersControls whether the front stays in place. If too small, the wig will gradually ride back over the course of the day.

Common mistakeStarting at the earlobe instead of the top curve. This adds length unnecessarily.
