If you are one of the estimated eight million women in the UK experiencing female hair loss or female alopecia, you may find it extremely difficult to cope with. And it’s particularly distressing if you are at a vulnerable period of your life. Some women suffering with female alopecia, which is another name for female hair loss, may even refuse to leave the house and give up their usual activities, and hobbies they enjoy because they are worried about what people will think. It can also affect a woman’s sensuality and self-esteem.
It is important to note that if you have female hair loss, you are not alone. As previously mentioned, millions of people in the UK experience hair loss at some stage in their lives.

Although coming to terms with alopecia can be difficult, it is important to be patient, as most hair loss is usually temporary. While some people, such as TV presenter Gail Porter, are not afraid to show it, others cover it up with various fashion accessories such as hats and scarves. It’s important to choose whichever works best for you.
One of the hottest looks on the catwalk this season is the headscarf. The Sicilian twists were spotted at Dolce and Gabbana, evoking a glamorous, Mediterranean feel. "It's about the scarf," Guido said of the hair at Dolce & Gabbana, "like how a woman would just pin her hair up [and] put a scarf on…there's a little indication of the '60s. A little Riviera feeling,"
If you the idea of sporting the new spring fashion accessory, the headscarf, there are various ways to wear it to help you regain your confidence and ensure you are bang on trend this season.

Ways to Wear the Headscarf This Season
Sicilian Twist
If you fancy Dolce and Gabbana’s Sicilian twist, start by applying mousse to your hair and blow-dry it straight back, without a parting. Wrap the scarf around the head, about an inch from the hairline and tie it to one side at the back of the neck. Roll up the hair into a French twist, but instead of folding the ends in, fan out the hair on the top of the head.
Sporty Look
Another way to wear a scarf is to wear it wide around the head, a few inches above the eyes, for a very sporty look. This is ideal to wear with a casual outfit, such as a denim jacket or jeans and a t-shirt.
Bandana
The bandana look great with large frame, Jackie O type sunglasses. Start by folding the bandana diagonally and put the two corners together. The result should be a triangle, with one long edge on the diagonal. Place this edge on your hairline or close to the hairline. Tie the two corners together at the back or your neck, pulling any loose hair out of the way to avoid getting it caught in the knot. Adjust the bandana according to how you want it to look and where it feels comfortable.
Cheeky Headband
A scarf knotted slightly off-centre around the hair makes for a cheeky headband look, with out giving you a headache. This is a pretty, informal look.
Classic Ponytail
You could also tie a scarf around a ponytail and pin it in place, with the ends hanging loose. It’s best to keep the ponytail fairly loose and avoid tight ponytails, as wearing ponytails too tight can damage the hair.
