No hair loss treatment is 100 percent effective, according to the NHS, so rather than stocking up on your favourite lotions and potions, it might be an idea to invest in something more long-term. Wigs can cover thinning hair, receding hairlines and complete baldness, and can come in a variety of styles, colours and textures.

Synthetic wigs last six to nine months and are easier to look after than real-hair wigs.

They can be itchy and hot, but cost less than real-hair wigs.

Real hair wigs last three to four years and are harder to look after than synthetic wigs.

They cost more than synthetic wigs but look more natural.

Wigs are not a new phenomenon when it comes to hair loss, but certain wig-related products could promote hair growth.

Aaliyah Abdulsalam is founder of The Wig Fix by The Renatural.

The Wig Fix is a hypoallergenic, breathable and lightweight silicone headband that can secure wigs.

She told Express.co.uk the product can promote natural hair growth in two ways.

She said: “The Wig Fix is made out of hypoallergenic skin soft silicone which creates a barrier between the scalp and The Wig Fix called occlusion.

“This helps skin and hair retain its natural oils that increases follicle strength and promotes a healthy scalp.”

Occlusion is when the wig is compressed on the scalp, it creates a microclimate between the skin and the silicone.

The closed, healing environment is called occlusion by doctors and scientists.

Abdulsalam added: “Secondly, the hundreds of nodes of The Wig Fix gently massage the scalp while it’s being worn, stimulating increased blood flow which induces natural hair growth.

“These nodes also prevent any snagging and pulling of hair.

“This silicone base is soothing for the perimeter of delicate hairs on the hairline.”

Massaging the scalp has been shown to improve hair thickness. 

It’s thought stretching forces during the massage encourage hair growth and thickness in the dermal papilla cells.

While wigs can be intimidating, Abdulsalam said they are the most cost effective, time-saving , quickest, easiest and safest option to choose.

The Wig Fix is suitable for everyone, but will only work for full circumference wigs rather than toupees.
