Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is a condition that causes inflammation in the scalp and hair follicles. It often causes scarring and patches of permanent hair loss, usually on the head.
Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is an autoimmune disease when your immune system attacks the openings where your hair grows (hair follicles). FFA tends to start slowly, often causing a thin band of balding skin that runs along the front and sides of the hairline. FFA can also cause hair loss elsewhere on the body. Anywhere you have hair, you may notice hair loss. Many people lose some (or all) of their eyebrows.
Currently, we offer two stock items: Marcella and easiFringe. Customers may also place a Cheveux Custom Order when looking for a system for FFA.
Jon Renau recognized an opportunity to provide a ready-made hair system with a customizable base for clients in need of more coverage. To address our customers' needs, clients can now purchase Genevieve and Brigette.

- Genetics, as cases of FFA are sometimes seen in families.
- Hormones, as most people with FFA are post-menopausal.
- Surgeries, such as facelifts or hair transplants.
