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.

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.
What Our Clients Have to Say
I was 2 years into my hair loss nightmare when I became aware of Tammy Lobato and her bonded replacement hair systems.
My hair loss was so significant that every aspect of my life was impacted and it took me a further 3 years before I finally made my first appointment!
I sit here today and think oh god i wish I had of done it sooner!
What an amazing team of genuine, compassionate and non-judgemental ladies. Ladies who draw on both their personal and professional experiences and understand there are no 2 journeys alike.
The freedom I feel from the weight that lifted off of my shoulders in just 3 months, is incredible... I am now looking forward to and can’t wait to do all things with my daughter that I would never have considered doing even just a few months back!
For anyone who is experiencing any type of hair loss, without any hesitation, i recommend you giving them a call...you won't be disappointed that did!
Kathy King - Thank you note
Tammy is an angel on earth. I can’t recommend the services which Tammy provides highly enough. I was made to feel at ease during my first consultation and felt no pressure or obligation to buy a wig. However I did purchase two and have had nothing but amazing comments from friends and family and most importantly they make me feel like me. In particular my human hair wig, people can’t believe it’s a wig. The service is personal and private in a very welcoming environment. I love that you can come back for a wig wash and style by booking in with one of the hair dressers. Special mention to Patricia who made me feel beautiful with the lovely waves she put through my hair during my last visit. For someone going through chemo and loosing your very long hair, this little outting gives you such a lift as it’s just like going to the salon. Thank you Tammy and see you soon.
Danielle your feedback is so generous - I am forever grateful and so pleased you are doing so well x
Danielle Hill - Thank you note
What I thought was going to be a very emotional and perhaps teary experience turned out to be uplifting and empowering. After losing over half of my hair, husband and I visited Tammy to see what my options were. Tammy was very helpful with not only mine but my husbands 1000 questions, she listened to what I had in mind and ran with it with no judgment, but offing professional advice. The personalised and customised service was extremely impressive.
I strongly believe you get what you pay and in my opinion you can not skimp on something that has the potential to completely make or break your confidence.
Will definately be recommending and returning.
Thank you
