Alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis are emotionally devastating forms of hair loss, which are difficult to cure. When childhood hair loss is unresponsive to alopecia therapies, both traditional and nontraditional, children may be stigmatized and fall under extreme psychologic distress. The not-for-profit organization Locks of Love began providing custom hair prostheses to children in 1997 and has continued to serve the emotional and cosmetic needs of children with extensive hair loss.
