Wigs to Crown Courage and Bravery

The Little Princess Trust makes wigs specifically designed for children and young people entirely from human hair. Wendy Tarplee-Morris, the founder of the charity, here explains how its kind and generous supporters help to restore the confidence and identity of young people with hair loss.

Hand-made from 100% donated human hair, wigs from The Little Princess Trust are available to anyone in the UK and Ireland, up to the age of 24, who has lost their own hair due to cancer treatments or other medical conditions.

Professionally designed for a natural look, The Little Princess Trust wigs have a lace front to provide the appearance of a natural hairline. The wigs are also hand knotted in such a way that they can be styled with changeable partings.

Specifically designed for children and young people to give a good fit for maximum comfort, confidence and security, each wig is cut and styled by a specialist wig fitter to create a personalised look. A constant goal for all associated with the charity is to ensure the wigs we offer are of the very highest quality.

The Unique Versatility of Our Wigs

The Little Princess Trust pays for the making of the wig and the styling, too, as we know each young person we help wants to personalise their wig. To ensure the wig closely matches the recipient’s hair, they are made in a range of colours, wig cap sizes and lengths.

The hair is subjected to only minimal processing during manufacturing, meaning the good condition of the hair is maintained and the wigs can be coloured, permed and styled in a wide variety of ways. This can transform the finished wig into almost any individual look and really help to restore the identity of the young person receiving the wig.

Afro and Textured Hair

We are committed to giving the young people we support the widest choice of wigs and we are able to do this as we receive donations of hair from far and wide, from people of all ages, genders and ethnicities.

The Little Princess Trust is respectful of the heritage of the child or young person we are helping, and every effort is made to give as wide a choice as possible to each wig recipient to create a wig which closely matches their natural hair colour and style.

By working in partnership with a specialist wigmaker in London, we are delighted to be able to achieve these key aims by offering wigs made from Afro-textured hair donations.

Despite using a slightly different wig-knotting method, the quality of the wigs is maintained and ensures we can give a full choice that respects the heritage of all wig recipients.
