24 <strong>Style</strong> | Feature Surgery to remove the ovaries saved her life, but at around the same time Nici lost her job and her mum became very unwell. Stress and hormonal changes are well-known triggers for hair loss. In time, Nici started studying for a counselling qualification, and she spoke with her hairdresser, Janine Gräter, about options. They decided to try a topper to cover the patch at the front of her head where there was nothing to clip onto. Armed with a medical certificate (as the doctor could find no hair follicles) Nici, with Janine’s help, was able to apply for the wigs and hairpieces subsidy available from the Ministry of Health. It assists those who suffer from serious hair loss due to a medical condition or certain cancer therapies. The reduced cost helped, and Nici now has three hairpieces, covering day and night looks. “I have curly hair, so Janine perms the piece for me. I love my topper – it’s thick and blends in. It has a fringe in it – I’ve never had a fringe before! It’s good as you can’t see the edges, even when it’s windy. “Janine cuts the hair, colours it, tones it – she matches it perfectly to your hair. My partner says they’re natural and pretty, which is huge. I’m so much more confident wearing one. I see so many women living with hair loss but it’s still a taboo subject. I want people to know they have a choice. You can’t live your best life if you’re not embracing yourself.” ACT EARLY Like many new mums, Padmaja Redekar experienced postpartum hair fall. “Hair shedding every day was very daunting and it felt like I was losing confidence slowly. It took me a while to gain control over my hair again.” As a trichologist, Dr Padmaja is energised to meet the hair and scalp problems women face. Proceedings at her Hairmantra clinic start with a consultation, where she takes note of a client’s family history, diet, menstrual cycle and health background. “By the time they come to me, generally 50 per cent of the damage is done. Scarring can be quite bad by that stage,” she explains. Low-level laser therapy penetrates the scalp to work at the hair follicle level. This is one of the main treatments Padmaja offers, with encouraging results. “Hair grows at about half an inch a month. When I see reduced swelling and new shoots of hair after a few months it puts a smile on both our faces – it’s an amazing feeling.” Lindy Cai, a university student in her early twenties, experienced female-pattern thinning while still at high school. “It was very bad… I would always get huge clumps of hair landing on my clothes.” Lacking in belief after several failed attempts to find help, Lindy’s laser treatment sessions with Padmaja “helped with my confidence and gave me useful advice for my thinning hair”. She started to see results after two months, and new hair had emerged within six months. “The empty gaps were becoming less visible and I could feel it was thicker than before.” Lindy encourages others to take note of their health and lifestyle. “I used to suffer from stress and sleep deprivation; I knew I wasn’t in good health, but I ignored it.” Depending on the diagnosis, Padmaja also offers chemicalfree and anti-DHT treatments, supplements and concealing nano fibres to temporarily cover gaps and provide a fuller look. Post-Covid, the trichologist noticed a spike in enquiries and credits that to the stress many people were under. “Balanced emotions help keep hair balanced,” she says. Padmaja hopes that women will talk about this issue more, and come forward earlier. Janine agrees: “If we can just drop some of the shame around the issue of women’s hair loss, we can get to the solution quicker. You don’t have to suffer in pain – you can have hair.” ABOVE FROM LEFT: Nici Clark conceals her condition with a topper, designed and styled by Janine Gräter; Dr Padmaja Redekar assesses the health of a client’s hair and scalp.
