Case Study: Transformation with 12" X 9" Starter Locs Frontal Dreadlock Scalp Replacement Cranial Prosthesis
In this case study, we explore the remarkable transformation of a client who, despite living an amazing life, faced the challenge of thinning edges and traction alopecia from ear to ear, including the crown area of her head. Yearning to embrace her natural dreadlocks while seeking a low-maintenance solution, she opted for a cranial prosthesis featuring starter dreadlocks, providing her with both the look and convenience she desired.
Client Background:
Our client is an individual who values the beauty and uniqueness of her natural dreadlocks. However, the presence of thinning edges and traction alopecia posed challenges, making her seek an alternative solution that would allow her to enjoy the aesthetics of her beloved dreadlocks with ease.
The Ideal Solution: Starter Dreadlocks:
To address her specific needs, the client chose a cranial prosthesis featuring starter dreadlocks. This choice was ideal for her as it offered a low-maintenance solution with short hair. Notably, these starter dreadlocks were designed to have locked ends, replicating the look she desired while ensuring they remained in place.
Hair Direction and Texture Replication:
One of the key objectives in creating this cranial prosthesis was to replicate the client's natural hair direction and texture accurately. This attention to detail ensured that the prosthesis seamlessly integrated with her existing natural hair in the back.
Attachment Method for Comfort and Security:
To achieve the perfect balance of comfort and security, the client utilized a combination of attachment methods. In the frontal center and at each sideburn, she used a medical-grade adhesive to secure the prosthesis in place. In contrast, micro clips were strategically placed in the back of the prosthesis. This allowed her the flexibility to clip the prosthesis in different areas, minimizing the risk of hair damage that can occur from continuous clip usage.
Conclusion:
This case study highlights the transformational journey of a client who faced the challenge of thinning edges and traction alopecia while yearning for the beauty and convenience of her natural dreadlocks. By choosing a cranial prosthesis featuring 12" X 9" starter dreadlocks, she not only regained her desired look but also achieved a practical solution tailored to her unique needs. The replication of her natural hair direction and texture ensured a seamless blend with her existing hair, while the thoughtfully chosen attachment methods provided both comfort and security. This case study demonstrates the power of personalized solutions in addressing hair-related challenges and enhancing the client's overall quality of life.
