Wigs for Alopecia & Other Autoimmune Conditions
Hair loss from autoimmune conditions such as Alopecia Areata, Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, Lupus, or Lichen Planopilaris can be distressing and isolating. At Tammy Lobato Wigs, we understand how personal this journey can be. Our goal is to provide natural wigs for alopecia and gentle, customised hair solutions in a private, compassionate environment — where every client feels supported and respected.
Understanding Alopecia and Autoimmune Hair Loss
Autoimmune conditions occur when the body’s immune system has an inflammatory response to triggers such as stress, trauma or virus which can lead to thinning, bald patches or complete baldness.
The most common type, Alopecia Areata, affects around 2% of the population and can cause smooth, round patches of hair loss on the scalp, eyebrows, or eyelashes. Some individuals may experience more advanced forms such as:
Alopecia Totalis
Complete loss of hair on the scalp.
Alopecia Universalis
Loss of all body hair
Other autoimmune or inflammatory scalp conditions can also lead to permanent or progressive hair loss, including:
Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA)
A type of scarring alopecia that causes a receding hairline and thinning of the eyebrows, primarily in women.
Lichen Planopilaris (LPP)
An inflammatory condition that leads to patchy, permanent hair loss with scarring on the scalp.
Lupus
A systemic autoimmune disease that can cause scarring and non-scarring hair loss through inflammation of the skin and hair follicles.
Thyroid Disorders
Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can both cause general thinning and slow regrowth.
Because the causes and patterns of autoimmune hair loss vary, we provide one-on-one consultations to understand your situation and recommend the best options for comfort, confidence, and care.

Real Stories of Real People
Lynette
Lynette has lived with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) for many years and has battled the constant physical and emotional distress that comes from hair loss.
Like many women facing this diagnosis, Lynette had explored multiple options; scalp treatments, traditional wigs that felt too bulky, and clip-in toppers that didn't quite sit right for her. Each solution promised hope, but none delivered the level of comfort, discretion, and natural appearance she needed to truly feel confident.
Her search ended the moment she experienced our custom human hair bonded topper systems - a highly specialised, semi-permanent hair replacement solution.
Our bonded toppers are meticulously customised to restore not just hair, but identity. They are professionally adhered to the head to ensure seamless integration with existing hair and complete peach of mind, even during daily activities, sleep and exercise. Each month Lynette visits our salon to have her bonded topper removed and refreshed while her second piece is applied to her head.
For Lynette, the impact was immediate and profound. No more shifting or fear of hair slipping, no more planning her day around her hair, no more anxiety in front of the mirror. For the first time in years, Lynette feels like herself again, having hair that feels like her own and allowing her to live confidently.
This is more than a cosmetic solution - it's a reconnection to self.
If you're struggling with FFA or any form of hair loss, you are not alone. There is a solution! Book a private consultation and learn more about how our bonded hair systems can be your solution.
Wigs for Kids With Auto-Immune Conditions
Certain autoimmune and medical conditions — such as alopecia areata, trichotillomania, thyroid disorders, or nutritional deficiencies — can also cause hair thinning or loss. No matter the cause, we provide discreet, understanding care for every child and family we meet.
We also work closely with families to support any medical or emotional needs, ensuring the wig experience is empowering rather than overwhelming.
Restoring Confidence Through Care
Autoimmune hair loss can be life-changing, but with the right support, you can regain your sense of self. At Tammy Lobato Wigs, our caring, professional approach focuses on more than just hair — it’s about helping you feel confident, comfortable, and seen.

They provide exceptional customer service and do a great job with the hair systems. I can’t recommend them enough. Great place to go for hair systems and maintenance.
Hasnain - Thank you note
I have suffered from hairloss for many years now. After I had chemotherapy my hair never returned to its original texture and density so I was left with very fine and wispy hair that didn’t even cover my scalp. That led to major depression and isolation for me. I got up the courage to try on a wig with Tammy. I started wearing it, was thankful for the volume and started socialising again. But I was still missing the freedom of not having hair on my head at all times. So Tammy suggested that my lifestyle could be improved by having a bonded topper. I tried it and absolutely loved it, now I have hair on all day and night, I shower with my new hair, I swim with my new hair and now I even go away on girls trips, because I’m not embarrassed by my hair anymore. My topper blends in with my fine hair and I can wear it up or down, curl it or straighten it. I no longer focus on my hair and am no longer sad about my appearance. I am confident now which has made me so happy. And I love going to Tammy’s salon every four to six weeks for my bonded topper service which is actually a bit of a pampering session for me. I then walk out with my fresh clean, styled hair ready to catch up with the girls! Tracey Shannon
