Hair thinning and loss affect every age group and gender.
While the aesthetic implications of this condition frequently dominate the conversation, it is crucial to acknowledge its emotional impact as well.
Affected individuals often struggle with emotional repercussions, including decreased self-esteem, heightened anxiety, and challenges in interpersonal relationships.
Louise Brooks, founder of Diva Maker Hair Prosthetics, found herself in the same boat a few years ago.
Diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus and stage three lung cancer, Louise lost her hair during treatment and reached a point where she did not recognize herself. The physical and emotional toll of it was immense.
To boost her confidence while fighting the diseases, Louise turned to hair prostheses. However, many of these products use chemically processed hair mixed with synthetic fibers, exacerbating scalp problems. Determined to find a better hair restoration solution, she collaborated with manufacturers to create skin-friendly products that aligned with most medical treatments and promoted scalp health.
Diva Maker was thus born.
“We aspire to touch the lives of those battling the emotional and physical effects of medical hair loss. Our high-quality products restore not just hair but a patient’s inner spirit and positivity and give them a reason to smile while they navigate bigger challenges in their lives,” says Louise.
Diva Maker is dedicated to replacing hair through, handcrafted, and customized prostheses, and hair nutrition solutions without surgical intervention. It aims to support patients with cancer and alopecia by working with medical centers, clinics, hospitals, and even salons, establishing a systematic approach to treating hair loss.
HAIR RESTORATION WITH PLANT-BASED SOLUTIONS
Its premium-quality hair prostheses are handcrafted with 100 percent Remy hair, which is chemical-free, and contains no animal products or synthetic fibers. The natural cuticle alignment of Remy hair prevents tangling or shedding, ensuring the wig retains its glossy, premium appearance and texture for years.
Moreover, its bases are made from natural fibers, like cotton, bamboo, and silk, which complement medical treatments and eliminate scalp irritations.
“These prostheses are not just hairpieces. They represent a part of a patient’s healing journey,” says Louise.
By making hair restoration as comfortable as possible, Diva Maker is taking the cosmedical industry to new heights.
CONFIDENCE BOOSTING WIGS
For people struggling with extreme hair loss, personalized wigs can offer emotional solace and a sense of regained control.
Understanding this, Diva Maker provides custom-designed wigs along with its pre-designed wigs for immediate needs. Its vast repository serves as a starting canvas for clients, enabling them to infuse their vision, be it a color change or a specific hair type. With meticulous handcrafting, every strand finds its perfect place, making the creation as unique as its wearer.
Diva Maker emphasizes quality over quantity.
While most hair restoration companies reduce the volume of their bundle sizes, which often pushes customers to buy more, Diva Maker guarantees that even 1 to 1.5 bundles suffice for a full and voluminous look so that users save time and money.
Catering to all genders and ages, Diva Maker’s mission is holistic.
It understands diverse needs and ensures no one feels left out. It offers hair solutions in various colors, from black pearl to smoky golden, bringing inclusivity to the hair restoration space by catering to all skin tones and individual preferences.
Diva Maker has an exclusive range of adjustable wigs specifically designed for children, while guaranteeing they continue to fit comfortably as the child grows.
These wigs are instrumental in helping kids navigate societal and peer pressures, feel more confident, and step out in public without feeling any different from their peers.
ACHIEVING A NATURAL LOOK
Diva Maker’s Natural Scalp and HD Swiss Lace Caps are crafted with artistry and precision, providing wearers with a natural look. The HD Lace is ultra-thin, soft, and transparent, renowned for its perfect fusion with multiple skin tones, eliminating the common demarcation lines and giving wearers an undetectable hairline.
For added versatility, various styles are offered, including side and middle parts, catering to diverse preferences and styling needs.
Diva Maker also provides an extensive range of lace closures in varying sizes, such as 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6. Acknowledging the distinct needs of women with alopecia, it has introduced a 6x6 option tailored to seamlessly blend with existing hair.

COMFORT AND SAFETY ASSURED
Diva Maker’s wigs and hair pieces are lightweight and breathable, allowing good ventilation and preventing any discomfort. This makes them ideal for people residing in warm climates.
When it comes to styling, blending synthetic hair with natural hair has always presented challenges. Using a flat iron on this mix can cause synthetic strands to melt, subsequently fusing them with natural hair strands. Even the glue applied to the hairline makes contact with hair follicles, causing hair breakage when the wig is removed. In a proactive approach to mitigating these concerns, Diva Maker refrains from using adhesives to secure its wigs, making them safer for various uses and styling products.
Ensuring the safety and longevity of hair prostheses goes beyond designing the right product. Proper storage plays a crucial role in maintaining the prostheses’ shelf-life. Diva Maker provides keepsake boxes with silk linings designed to protect the hair. It also offers satin bags that keep the hair tangle-free.
FROM RESTORATION TO TOTAL CARE
Natural hair demands a higher degree of maintenance to preserve its vitality and sheen—far more than synthetic options. Recognizing this, Diva Maker includes comprehensive care guides with each product, covering everything from washing routines to styling techniques. This ensures users, especially those new to hair prostheses, can effectively manage their new locks.
Scalp health is another critical focus, as it often goes hand-in-hand with hair loss issues.
To cater to those with sensitive or allergyprone skin, Diva Maker has launched a specialized dermocosmetic line of hair nutrition products.
Diva Maker also provides targeted solutions for specific conditions like trichotillomania, a hair-pulling disorder. Its hair nutrition range is formulated to soothe the scalp and reduce irritants that might provoke hair-pulling, promoting balanced pH levels and facilitating hair growth post-treatment.
The hair nutrition products are especially beneficial for those with extremely thin hair living in harsh winter conditions. The region’s harsh winter conditions exacerbate the fragility of their hair. Diva Maker’s hair nutrition products offer much-needed relief and protection.
TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR EXPERT HAIR RESTORATION PROFESSIONALS
Considering the need for professionals who can expertly fit and maintain high-quality wigs and prosthetics, Diva Maker has rolled out a comprehensive training program. This equips learners with the essential skills, from fitting and styling wigs to understanding the maintenance of hair prostheses.
The training course encompasses theoretical and practical elements, including examinations. Participants are equipped with teaching skills like single and multiple installation methods and instructions on safely removing and re-bonding extensions. Backed by a team of stylists, colorists, extensionists, cosmetologists and educators, the courses are designed to not only impart technical knowledge but shape holistic professionals.
TAKING HAIRCARE ACROSS BORDERS WITH A PERSONAL GUARANTEE
Diva Maker’s success stems from Louise’s commitment and perseverance.
Recalling a heartwarming feedback, she adds, “A customer from the UK once called me in tears, expressing that our hair product was everything she had been praying for.”
Building on such impactful feedback and a growing reputation, Diva Maker is set to expand its footprint beyond the U.S. shores, targeting key regions like Europe and the Middle East. To establish a strong international export presence, it has been collaborating with agencies internationally.
The company was presented with the opportunity to exhibit at the 2023 Arab Health in Dubai, one of the biggest healthcare events in the world. Representing the state of Missouri delegation, Diva Maker established its presence on the global stage.
For individuals nurturing hair regrowth post-hair loss or seeking to extend the lifespan of their hair prosthesis, Diva Maker aims to be their trusted companion, providing the added confidence to stride forth into the world.
As the company ardently puts it – ‘It is not just about looking good; it is also about feeling good.’
