Q: Does Wigs For Kids manufacture or sell hair?

We do not manufacture hairpieces. For more than 40 years, we have used multiple manufacturers to ensure that Wigs For Kids hairpieces are consistently produced and of the utmost quality possible. These manufacturers are based outside of the United States and this can, at times, result in delays of delivery.

Q: Are partial hairpieces or extensions available?

Our hair replacement systems are designed to conceal complete hair loss or minimal hair growth due to medical reason, including therapy treatments (e.g., chemotherapy, radiation), damage to the scalp caused by burns, scarring, alopecia or trichotillomania. If your child suffers from partial hair loss, an evaluation will help us determine if our full cap solution can satisfactorily meet their needs. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

Q: What is a hair replacement system?

Referred to as hair replacement systems, each hairpiece is hand-tied and composed entirely from donated human hair. The Wigs For Kids full cap solution is designed for complete hair loss. In cases where there is partial hair loss, an evaluation is needed to determine if our full cap solution will meet your child’s needs. We are here and ready to help. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

Wigs For Kids hairpieces are created using donated human hair, which is not processed with dyes or other chemicals that alter the color or texture of the hair. We support the range of organic or natural colors provided through our donated hair inventory. Highlight, lowlights, ombre, and fashion hair colors are not available. Wigs For Kids offers hairpieces in 12” and 14” hair lengths.
