Every September, Alopecia Awareness Month highlights a condition that affects millions of men and women worldwide. Alopecia is more than just hair loss—it can have a profound impact on confidence, self-esteem, and daily life. At Hair Solutions Canada, we believe awareness goes hand in hand with empowerment, which is why we’re committed to offering solutions that support both the physical and emotional journey of those living with hair loss.
Alopecia simply means “hair loss,” but it comes in many forms. Some of the most common types include:
- Alopecia Areata: Sudden, patchy hair loss caused by the immune system attacking hair follicles.
- Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Hair Loss): The most common form, often hereditary and progressive.
- Telogen Effluvium: Temporary shedding due to stress, illness, or hormonal changes.
Regardless of the type, hair loss can feel overwhelming. That’s why awareness is so important—it helps break the stigma, fosters compassion, and reminds those affected that they’re not alone.
How Our Products Can Help
While there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution to alopecia, the right tools and products can make a world of difference in restoring confidence and supporting hair health.

L’Oréal Root Cover Up – Quick, Targeted Camouflage
When you need an instant touch-up, L’Oréal Root Cover Up is a lightweight spray that conceals regrowth and small patches. It’s perfect for covering areas where fibers may not be ideal, or for adding extra confidence before an event.
Tips for Best Results
- Apply Toppik to clean, dry hair for the strongest hold.
- Use the Hairline Optimizer to create a natural finish around the edges.
- Pair Toppik or Root Cover Up with Viviscal PRO for a short-term + long-term solution.
