Styling and Maintenance

Q: Can my child swim while wearing the hairpiece?

No.  Chlorine and other chemicals will cause severe damage to the hairpiece, including hair loss. These hairpieces cannot be repaired.  We recommend a child use a swim cap instead.

Q: What if the hairpiece gets wet?

Never brush your hairpiece when it is wet.  Air dry the hairpiece before brushing to detangle the hair.

Q: Where can I find more tips on styling and maintaining my child’s hairpiece?

Our Wigs For Kids YouTube channel has many videos and curated playlists related to maintaining our hairpieces.  Please visit https://www.youtube.com/@WigsForKidsVideos/videos for more information.

Q: My child has outgrown their hairpiece. Can I donate it?

We are unable to re-use hairpieces. If your child still has need of a hairpiece, we encourage you to re-apply.
