It was supposed to be just another fun sleepover.

But for one 12-year-old girl, that night changed everything.

What started as laughter and late-night games turned into something cruel — a prank gone too far. While she was asleep, someone thought it would be funny to cut her hair. When she woke up, nearly every strand was gone.

Her grandparents, unsure of what to do, sent her to school the next day. They hoped things would blow over. But middle school isn’t always kind — especially when you're different. What followed was nearly a full semester of teasing, whispers, and relentless bullying.

She became quiet. Stopped raising her hand in class. Avoided the cafeteria. She was no longer the bubbly, bright child her family knew.

That’s when her sister discovered La’ Wig.

With care, privacy, and the sensitivity that only comes from people who truly understand hair loss, the team at La’ Wig helped them select a wig that gave her more than just hair — it gave her a second chance at feeling like herself.

No glue. No tape. No damage. Just soft, natural hair that let her walk into school with her head held high again.

It wasn’t just about the wig — it was about healing.

Today, she's back to being that vibrant 12-year-old: laughing with friends, raising her hand again, and making big dreams for her future.

Though our physical locations in Houston and Dallas have closed, La’ Wig continues to serve clients online and through trusted hairstylist partners nationwide, with the same heart and commitment that brought this little girl back to life.

No child should ever be made to feel less than because of their hair. And with La’ Wig, they don’t have to.
