Wigs for kids and teenagers

Hair loss in children and teenagers is more common than most people realize. Whether it is due to medical treatments like chemotherapy, conditions such as alopecia areata, trichotillomania, or autoimmune disorders, losing hair at a young age can have a serious emotional and social impact.

At RZ Wigs Australia, we understand that for a young person, hair loss can feel like losing part of their identity. It can affect how they see themselves and how others respond to them. That is why we offer a specialized range of human hair wigs for kids and teens, designed to look natural, feel comfortable, and most importantly, help them feel like themselves again.

Why Hair Loss Is So Hard for Young People

Hair is tied to more than just looks. For children and teens, it is part of fitting in, expressing personality, and building self-image. When that is taken away unexpectedly, it can cause:

Anxiety in social settings
Isolation from peers
Avoidance of school, parties, or public outings
Lower their self-esteem
Fear of bullying or being stared at

Kids can feel insecure when their hair falls out. Many say they no longer feel “normal” and struggle to maintain friendships or confidence in public.

The Emotional Power of a Realistic Wig

The right wig can do much more than cover hair loss. It can:

Rebuild lost confidence
Help a child feel more in control
Make daily routines feel normal again
Return to school and social activities without feeling different
Reduce the emotional toll of ongoing treatment

For parents and caregivers, seeing their child smile again after putting on a wig that looks just like their natural hair is a powerful and emotional moment.

Why Choose a Human Hair Wig for Children?

At RZ Wigs Australia, we specialize in premium human hair wigs that are lightweight, soft, breathable, and designed with sensitive scalps in mind. Our children’s wigs are:

Made with 100% Virgin European, Russian and Brazilian human hair
Designed with lace fronts, silk tops, or lace tops for a realistic scalp
Hand crafted and customized to fit smaller heads
Styled to match the child’s previous look, color, texture, length and even hair parting
Easy to wear and secure for active kids
Safe and comfortable for those undergoing medical treatments

Unlike synthetic wigs, human hair wigs move and feel natural, can be colored and styled, and last longer with proper care.

Our Process: How We Support Kids and Families

We understand that this is a sensitive journey, so we make the experience as kind and gentle as possible.

1. Private Consultations

Whether in our Melbourne salon or via secure video chat, we offer a relaxed, pressure-free environment where we listen to your child’s needs and preferences.

2. Personalized Wig Matching

We match the wig to your child’s natural hair as closely as possible. Some children want to look exactly as they did before, while others may want a slight change. We respect both.

3. Cutting, Styling and Adjustments

Our experienced stylists shape the wig to suit the child’s face and age. We can layer, trim or style it to look soft, trendy and age appropriate.

4. Funding

Children under the age of 18 might be eligible for some funding from:

NDIS (for eligible children with permanent conditions)
Variety kids – the Children’s Charity
AAAF (Australia Alopecia Areata Foundation)
Private health funds
We provide all documentation needed to apply for these programs.

5. Ongoing Aftercare

We teach kids and parents how to care for the wig at home and offer washing, restyling and maintenance services at our salon.

The Impact: What Parents and Teens Say

Many of the families we work with share their stories of how a well-fitted human hair wig helped their child:

“She walked into school, and no one noticed anything different. That meant the world to her.”
“He’s smiling again. He plays outside and looks people in the eye.”
“This brought normal back into our lives.”

Teenagers especially value discretion. Our wigs are built to look undetectable so they can feel more confident in school photos, formal events, sports or outings with friends.

FAQ: Kids and Teens’ Medical Hair Wigs

What causes hair loss in children and teenagers?

Hair loss can happen due to cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, as well as autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata. Other causes include trichotillomania, scalp infections, burns, and genetic factors.

Is it safe for a child to wear a wig?

Yes. Our wigs are designed for sensitive scalps, are breathable and lightweight, and use soft, comfortable materials that are gentle on children’s skin.

What type of wig is best for a child?

We recommend human hair wigs for the most natural look and feel. They can be customized, styled with heat tools and are long-lasting. Children often prefer lace front or silk top wigs for a realistic appearance and secure fit.

With proper care, a human hair wig can last 12 to 24 months or longer. We provide aftercare guidance and offer restyling and maintenance services in our salon.

Do you offer video consultations?

Yes, we provide secure video consultations for families outside Melbourne or overseas. This allows you to access our services from home.

Can you match my child’s original hair color and style?

Absolutely. We specialize in matching hair type, color, parting, curl pattern and even density so the wig looks as close as possible to their natural hair.

Are there any programs to help with the cost?

Yes. We work with NDIS, Variety Kids, AAAF, and private health funds to help cover the cost. We assist you with the entire process, providing all the relevant documents.
