At Custom Hair Company, we understand how deeply hair thinning can affect women during menopause. It's not just about losing strands, it's about losing confidence, and that can change the way you feel about yourself.
Our goal is to provide women with the highest quality wigs New Zealand women deserve, alongside personalised hair toppers and skin hair patches that offer natural-looking, comfortable solutions.
We offer both private in-studio consultations in Hamilton and virtual consultations nationwide, so no matter where you are in New Zealand, you can access expert advice and personalised hair solutions.
As hormone levels change during menopause, particularly with the drop in oestrogen and progesterone, many women notice their hair becoming finer, thinner, and more fragile. This hormonal shift affects the hair growth cycle in several profound ways.
Oestrogen plays a crucial role in keeping hair healthy and full, helping hair stay in its growth phase longer and maintaining thickness and strength. As oestrogen levels decline during perimenopause and menopause, hair spends significantly less time growing and more time in the resting phase, leading to increased shedding and reduced regrowth.
With lower oestrogen levels, the relative influence of androgens like testosterone becomes more pronounced. These male hormones can cause hair follicles to shrink progressively, producing thinner and shorter hairs that eventually stop growing altogether.
Women typically notice overall thinning across their entire scalp, some widening of their central parting, reduced density at the crown and temples, and hair that often becomes more brittle and prone to breakage.
Hair loss during menopause often coincides with other significant life changes, making the psychological impact particularly challenging. This period frequently brings children leaving home, career transitions, and relationship changes.
When hair loss becomes noticeable during this already emotional time, many women report struggling with self-image in ways they never anticipated.
The visibility of hair loss can profoundly affect professional confidence, social interactions, and intimate relationships. While this is a natural part of ageing, it doesn't mean you need to accept feeling less than your best.
At Custom Hair Company, we've helped many women experiencing menopause-related hair loss regain both their look and their self-esteem with high-quality wigs and hairpieces throughout New Zealand.
Today's wigs are a far cry from the obvious, uncomfortable hairpieces of the past. Modern wig technology has revolutionised the industry, creating options that are virtually indistinguishable from natural hair and comfortable enough for all-day wear.
Our 'Hair to Help' premium human hair wigs at Custom Hair Company, offer the ultimate in natural appearance and versatility with a modern low-density design. These pieces are lightweight and breathable, designed with advanced ventilation systems that allows air to circulate freely around your scalp.
They can be cut, coloured, and styled just like your own hair, giving you complete freedom to create the look you desire. You must wash them with specialty shampoo and conditioner, which we will supply you with when you initially purchase your wig or hairpiece.
You can also buy it through our studio or in our online store. Another advantage of human hair wigs is that you can use heat styling tools to curl or straighten the hair.
Today's high-quality synthetic wigs have advanced remarkably beyond the artificial fibres of the past. Modern synthetic materials look and feel increasingly natural, with fibres that mimic the texture and movement of real hair. These wigs hold their style beautifully even after washing, require minimal daily styling, and can be an excellent choice for those new to wearing wigs or seeking low-maintenance options.
Modern wigs feature silk cap tops that create the convincing appearance of natural hair growth directly from the scalp, while lace fronts provide you with completely invisible hairlines. Hand-tied construction ensures natural movement, and adjustable caps accommodate different head sizes while making sure of a secure, comfortable fit. Breathable materials and strategic ventilation prevent overheating and discomfort.
We work closely with each client to find the right colour, texture, length, and style to complement individual features, skin tone, and lifestyle preferences. This personalised approach ensures that your wig enhances your natural beauty and reflects your own personal style.
Not everyone experiencing menopause-related hair thinning needs or wants a full wig, which is why we specialise in targeted solutions that address specific concerns while allowing you to maintain your existing hair.
Hair toppers are excellent solutions for women experiencing thinning primarily at the crown, part line, or temples while retaining reasonable hair density in other areas. These specialised pieces blend invisibly with your existing hair, adding volume and coverage exactly where you need it most while allowing your natural hair to show through where it remains healthy.
Hair toppers come in various sizes to address the different patterns of hair loss, from small crown pieces to larger ear-to-ear coverage options. Attachment methods range from simple clip-in systems for daily use to more secure options for those with active lifestyles.
Most importantly, hair toppers allow you to preserve and continue styling your natural hair while achieving the fuller, more confident look you desire.
Skin hair patches represent advanced technology in hair replacement, offering ultra-thin, lightweight solutions for any specific areas of concern. The base material mimics both the appearance and colour of your natural scalp, creating an effect so convincing that hair appears to be growing directly from your head.
These patches excel in providing targeted coverage for patchy hair loss or receding hairlines without affecting areas where your natural hair remains healthy. The thin, breathable materials we use, will ensure all-day comfort, and each patch can be completely customised to match your exact hair colour, density, and growth pattern.
Finding the right hair solution can feel overwhelming, which is why we've developed a consultation process that is simple, supportive, and designed to remove anxiety while ensuring you make the best choice for your situation.
Our Hamilton studio provides a comfortable, private environment where you can explore options without pressure or time constraints. You'll experience our full range of options firsthand, with professional colour matching.

An active lifestyle doesn't have to be compromised by wearing a wig or hair topper. We provide specific guidance for exercise and other outdoor activities, as well as confidence tips for professional settings and social situations. Many clients discover that their enhanced appearance actually increases their social and professional confidence.
Many clients discover the joy of having multiple hair options. This might include comfortable everyday pieces, glamorous special occasion styles, seasonal variations, and backup options that ensure you're never without your preferred look.
Over our years of service, we've witnessed countless transformations that extend far beyond appearance. Women who initially focused on cosmetic concerns often discover psychological transformations that surprise them.
They report feeling more confident at work, more social with friends, and more comfortable in relationships. Many describe rediscovering their sense of style and femininity, finally feeling like themselves again after months or years of struggle with hair loss.
The hair solution often becomes a catalyst for positive changes extending into every area of life, helping women approach the menopause transition with renewed confidence and optimism.
