Locks of Love

You can use the online Hairpiece Application for your child in the United States or Canada. Prepare a doctor's diagnosis, a photo of your child without a hat or hairpiece, proof of income, and two recommendation letters before starting. Short-term hair loss calls for a synthetic wig. Custom vacuum-fit hairpieces are for long-term hair loss.
