Hairloss and Children

Hair loss for children can be upsetting and socially difficult. Children may experience hair loss due to medical treatment or some form of Alopecia, as well as Trichotillomania. Children often have fewer problems than adults do when dealing with hair loss. Even though children seem to be more resilient they will be confronted with questions and curiosity from their friends and classmates. The National Alopecia Areata Foundation provides an excellent video, at no charge, sharing the experience of children with hair loss. Some studies suggest that children be allowed and encouraged to make their own decisions regarding their hair loss. Some children will be comfortable just being natural and not doing anything, others will choose to cover up with a hat, scarf or some other type of head covering. Should the child make an inquiry about other options such as a hair prosthetic (wig) there are readymade choices available that are constructed especially for children as well as a full custom made prosthetic.
