Wigs for Kids
At Tammy Lobato Wigs, we understand that hair loss can be especially challenging for children and their families. Our wigs for kids are created with care, compassion, and attention to detail — helping young people feel confident and comfortable in their own skin again.
From your very first visit, our caring team provides a calm and supportive experience. We work gently with children to make the process positive, ensuring every wig looks natural, feels comfortable, and suits their unique personality.
Children's Hair Loss and Common Causes
Hair loss in children can occur for many reasons, and it’s natural for families to seek answers and reassurance. At Tammy Lobato Wigs, we regularly assist children experiencing hair loss from:
Cancer and Chemotherapy
Many children undergoing cancer treatment experience temporary hair loss due to chemotherapy. Our wigs for kids with cancer are designed to provide both comfort and confidence during this difficult time.
We use lightweight, breathable cap designs that sit softly on sensitive scalps, allowing children to play, go to school, and participate in daily life with ease. When hair begins to grow back, we can adjust or restyle the wig as needed.
Alopecia
Children with alopecia areata or other types of alopecia often experience patchy or total hair loss. We provide realistic, secure wigs that help restore a sense of normality and self-esteem.
Our custom-fitting approach ensures the wig stays comfortably in place, even for active children, and we take extra care to match colour, texture, and length for the most natural result.
Autoimmune and Other Medical Conditions
Certain autoimmune and medical conditions — such as trichotillomania, thyroid disorders, or nutritional deficiencies — can also cause hair thinning or loss. No matter the cause, we provide discreet, understanding care for every child and family we meet.
We also work closely with families to support any medical or emotional needs, ensuring the wig experience is empowering rather than overwhelming.
Specialist Wig Fittings for Children
Every child’s wig is individually fitted to ensure comfort, security, and a natural appearance.
During your private consultation, we’ll:
- Take gentle measurements for the perfect fit
- Match your child’s natural hair colour and style
- Select lightweight, breathable caps for sensitive scalps
- Offer both human hair and synthetic options
- Provide styling that reflects your child’s personality and confidence
We also understand that affordability is important. Our team can assist with applications for the Variety Children’s Charity Wig Grant, helping to make high-quality wigs for kids more accessible.

What Our Clients Have to Say
I have suffered from hairloss for many years now. After I had chemotherapy my hair never returned to its original texture and density so I was left with very fine and wispy hair that didn’t even cover my scalp. That led to major depression and isolation for me. I got up the courage to try on a wig with Tammy. I started wearing it, was thankful for the volume and started socialising again. But I was still missing the freedom of not having hair on my head at all times. So Tammy suggested that my lifestyle could be improved by having a bonded topper. I tried it and absolutely loved it, now I have hair on all day and night, I shower with my new hair, I swim with my new hair and now I even go away on girls trips, because I’m not embarrassed by my hair anymore. My topper blends in with my fine hair and I can wear it up or down, curl it or straighten it. I no longer focus on my hair and am no longer sad about my appearance. I am confident now which has made me so happy. And I love going to Tammy’s salon every four to six weeks for my bonded topper service which is actually a bit of a pampering session for me. I then walk out with my fresh clean, styled hair ready to catch up with the girls! Tracey Shannon
Thank you Tracey it is wonderful to hear that you have had such a great and liberating experience with our bonded toppers - they really are life changers and I am so pleased your lifestyle has improved because of them. Thanks so much for sharing this to help others. Tammy x

Thought we would share with you feedback from one of our clients who wears a Bonded Wig. Rachel has been wearing our wigs since she developed complete hairloss from Alopecia a few years ago. What she missed most was not being able to have hair on to go to bed, to shower and to swim. So we decided together that she would be a great candidate for a Bonded Wig - using medical grade adhesive to provide semi permanent hair that stays on 24 hours per day. We think Rachel is a bit happy about it 
"I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with my hair bonding. I would highly suggest this to anybody in the same situation as me. I never thought I would get a sense of being back to my normal self with my hairloss but this has made that happen. The ability to sleep and shower in it without taking it off makes me fee like I just have my own hair back and has made me feel much more confident once again. Whoever thought I'd wake up with bed hair again haha or be able to stick it up in a 'mummy bun'. Please tell Elvira a huge thank you from me and thank you to you and Tammy Mc for working with me, listening to me and just being patient! All you ladies are superheroes."
Thank you Rachel for sharing this so that others learn about other options for their hairloss. We are so happy for you. 
Rachel - Thank you note
What I thought was going to be a very emotional and perhaps teary experience turned out to be uplifting and empowering. After losing over half of my hair, husband and I visited Tammy to see what my options were. Tammy was very helpful with not only mine but my husbands 1000 questions, she listened to what I had in mind and ran with it with no judgment, but offing professional advice. The personalised and customised service was extremely impressive.
I strongly believe you get what you pay and in my opinion you can not skimp on something that has the potential to completely make or break your confidence.
Will definately be recommending and returning.
Thank you
