BUFORD, GA / ACCESSWIRE / March 3, 2022 / Georgia-based luxury wig company Lu's Wigs, founded by entrepreneur and philanthropist Lin Marsh, has announced the beginning of a beneficial new program. From 2022 onward, the business will work to provide children experiencing hair loss with high-quality wigs, completely free of charge.
Addressing Childhood Hair Loss, No Matter the Cause or the Cost
According to Healthline, there are a wide variety of conditions that can cause hair loss in children. From fungal infections to alopecia to trichotillomania to cancer treatment, hair loss can affect people of all ages. Treating these issues can place a hefty financial burden on parents, leaving little money for expensive wigs or toppers. Even if they can afford it, finding wigs and toppers that fit well and feel authentic is a common struggle for many people. A well-fitting, well-made wig has the potential to change the life of someone struggling with hair loss, especially younger people. It may help to restore confidence, repair body image, and improve self-esteem.
Understanding the Impact of Hair Loss at an Early Age
Healthline notes that hair loss, while not exactly uncommon in children, can take a heavy toll on a child's emotional and psychological health. Lu's Wigs believes that no child should have to endure the psychological and emotional impact of hair loss at such an early age, regardless of their parent's financial state or socioeconomic status. The company, whose founder experienced hair loss at just 14, understands the trauma that childhood hair loss can cause. That's what inspired the team to create this charitable program. In the event that a family cannot afford a wig for their child, Lu's Wigs will still create and customize a high-quality wig for them at no expense to the family.
Helping Children Overcome Hair Loss: A Win-Win For Everyone
Since the creation of this new program, the company has only had the opportunity to help one child so far. Because all of Lu's Wigs for children are custom-made by fit, color, and cut to suit the individual they are made for, the team can only help one child at a time, but they hope to help hundreds (if not thousands) of children as the business grows. "We're just glad to be making such a direct impact," said one team member. "We see the confidence and the self-esteem that these wigs are helping to restore."
Inspired by founder Lin Marsh's experience with alopecia in adolescence, Lu's Wigs is a luxury wig company that creates authentic wigs to help women feel like themselves again after experiencing hair loss. Having built Lu's Wigs into a successful business, Marsh is giving back to the community by providing free custom wigs to children.
