ELDORADO HAIR REPLACEMENT CENTER in Baltimore, Maryland helps women experiencing medically-related hair loss as a result of chemotherapy, thyroid, or other medical disorders and treatments.

HAIR WEAVES

Most human hair that is used in weaves or hairpieces is processed hair. It comes from India or China where women sell it to hair merchants. It is then stripped of its cuticle so it feels finer, then it is bleached and dyed. The result of this process is hair that has been damaged and does not feel like natural growing hair.

In our hair weaves, we use virgin, hair, from European hair merchants that buy it from women in eastern Europe. It is washed, blended and sorted to our needs. We then make beautiful wigs and hairpieces from it.  

PROPER HAIR WEAVE SELECTION AND CARE

WHEN SELECTING A WIG OR HAIR WEAVE due to the side effects of chemotherapy or radiation, it is necessary to learn which options are available to men, women and children.

WIGS AND HAIRPIECES:  A Few Thoughts and Observations

Weaves can look as good as your own hair.  But nothing is truly maintenance free.

To create the illusion of having a full head of hair, it is occasionally necessary to visit your salon for a restyle, recolor or repair.

Once you have decided on which wig or hairpiece to purchase, ask how to clean it, style it and condition it.

Human hair requires a good quality shampoo and conditioner to untangle it after cleaning.
