Alopecia & Finding Confidence

For anyone experiencing alopecia, the journey can feel different every single day. There are moments of strength, moments of confusion, and moments where you just want to feel like yourself again. At Lace Fronts Australia, we’ve walked alongside thousands of people navigating hair loss — whether from alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, chemotherapy, hormonal changes, or medical treatment — and our core belief is simple: your confidence isn’t defined by your hair.

Alopecia affects people in a range of ways. For some, it begins as small patches of hair loss. For others, it progresses to total loss of scalp or body hair. No matter where your journey sits, having access to information — and options — can make a world of difference.

That’s where medical-grade wigs come in. The right medical wig should feel comfortable, breathable, and gentle on sensitive scalps. It should be secure without irritation, adaptable to your lifestyle, and able to grow with you as your needs change.

At Lace Fronts Australia, our medical wig range come with cap that are soft and comfortable to wearability, using lightweight materials, secure ear tabs, and adjustable straps.

Many people with alopecia also explore glueless wigs, especially if they prefer a low-maintenance, gentle option. Glueless wigs are designed to stay secure without adhesives — perfect for those wanting daily wear without the use of glue, gels, or tapes. When paired with a wig grip, they offer incredible stability and a natural look while remaining scalp-friendly.

If you’re brand new to wigs, you’re not alone. We meet beginners every single day — people who have never worn a wig before and aren’t sure where to start. Our beginner wig consultations are designed to be supportive, educational, and judgement-free. We talk through textures, lengths, cap types, and styling options, ensuring you leave feeling confident rather than overwhelmed. This is not a pressured sales moment - this is simply a time for our clients to talk about their needs and wants. At the end, we'll tell you to think about it and if you want to come back and purchase from us great. If not, at the very least you've started the journey and have a little more knowledge under your belt. 

Most importantly, at Lace Fronts Australia we want to highlight that alopecia doesn’t take away your beauty, your identity, or your power. You are not defined by your hair. 

Cara Delevingne after shaving their head for their role in Life In A Year said “Just doing it really was liberating. The kind of power and not needing hair to be beautiful, and that was the message I really thought I needed to spread."

At the moment, our screens are also being blessed with Cynthia Erivo who shaved their head to help reduce the time in hair and make-up for her iconic role as Elphaba. Even after filming she continues to rock her baldness stating “my beauty doesn’t stem from how I do my hair.”

Whether you rock a bald head or a wig - there is no shame. A wig is not about hiding — it’s about choice. It’s about reclaiming comfort, confidence, and the freedom to express yourself in whatever way feels right.

If you are feeling uncertain and alone in this journey, we also suggest connecting with AAAF.
