When Adina realised that hormonal changes were making her hair thinner at the temples and hairline, she started to find it much more difficult to disguise that she was prematurely going grey. After years of colouring and clipping in extensions exacerbated her hair loss, Adina began to worry that there might not be any sustainable solutions to her hair loss problems. It was not until she tried two of our heat-resistant fibre wigs that she finally rediscovered her hair confidence!
We are so grateful to Adina for sharing her hair loss story with Simply Wigs, and we hope that her journey will inspire more women to wear a wig for the first time. Read her story below and stay until the end for some invaluable insights from our wig experts.
‘I started thinning at the hairline and temples due to hormonal changes’
Turning White At Twenty-Three
I have always had super fine hair with no volume, and already at age twenty-three my hair started turning white. At first, I embraced it, but the constant colouring to cover the whites and the extensions for added volume took a toll. After years of applying dye and repeatedly adding and removing extensions, my hair simply couldn’t take it anymore. The damage became evident – my hair was breaking, thinning, and losing its natural texture, leaving me frustrated and in need of a change.
Also, I started thinning at the hairline and temples due to hormonal changes, which only added to my frustration. I then explored using hair toppers for about a year, and while I liked the added volume and coverage, the little clips that kept the toppers in place began pulling out my bio hair, further exacerbating the thinning. Additionally, as my hair could no longer handle any more colouring, my white strands started peeking through the topper. Using hair powders to cover the whites became increasingly time-consuming and just wasn’t sustainable.
Wonderful World of Heat-Resistant Wigs
I started researching wigs and finally dived in a couple of months ago. The most fantastic and wonderful world of opportunities has opened itself.

Nobody noticed that it was a wig, as the transition from topper to wig was pretty seamless, in the way that colour and style looked very similar. Only the length and the overall volume was different. The comments I received were just so positive from everyone around me, and when asked what I did to my hair, I just responded that my hairdresser friend helped me out and gave me some beautiful highlights.
I am not that comfortable telling people outside my family and closest friends that I wear wigs, but perhaps that time will come one day. For now I am just really enjoying this journey and having fun!
Love, Adina x
What Our Wig Experts Say
Hormonal changes that lead to thinning or hair loss are a common concern for many women and can really impact their confidence. While hair toppers are usually great for adding volume and coverage, as Adina highlighted in her story, their clips can sometimes pull on your natural hair, causing further thinning or breakage when worn regularly.
If you are worried about damaging your biological hair, we recommend wearing a full wig to provide the coverage you need, without placing constant strain on your scalp. Wigs made from human hair or heat-resistant synthetic fibres can be styled like natural hair, while lace-front wigs and monofilament tops create the illusion of hair growing from your scalp, so you can mask the thinning areas at your temples and hairline.
Any of these solutions would give you the freedom to achieve a voluminous look without the hassle of covering up the whites or worrying about clips pulling on your natural hair.
