The Story Behind Lost and Crowned: More Than Just Hair
The struggle often starts silently. For Tina, the founder of Lost and Crowned, it began with an unexpected journey into hair loss caused by alopecia. It was more than a cosmetic change; it was a sudden, profound loss of identity, courage, and the simple confidence needed to step out the door. This experience, while deeply isolating, became the unexpected catalyst for a powerful mission.

A New Vision: The Confident Crown Initiative
This lack of support transformed Tina's personal journey into a powerful public commitment. She founded Lost and Crowned, Inc. on a simple, but profound principle: No one should have to sacrifice their confidence or their dignity due to circumstances beyond their control.
​
Our mission is to confront the silent loss of courage that follows hair loss.
We don't just provide wigs; we provide the foundation for rebuilding a life. This is the heart of our program: the Courage, Confidence Collective (C3).
​
Through the Collective, we meet people exactly where they are—delivering not just a crown of quality, custom-fit hair, but also the motivation, support network, and life-readiness skills they need to step back into the world, whether that means starting a new job, going back to school, or simply embracing social life again.

We’re Restoring What Was Lost
Every person who comes to Lost and Crowned, Inc. is reclaiming their story. They’re moving from isolation to empowerment.
Tina Fudd’s experience taught her that true transformation happens when we restore the visible (the hair, the crown) and nurture the invisible (the confidence).
Our goal is to make sure that every individual, regardless of their medical journey, has the resources they need to look in the mirror and see not a victim of circumstance, but a person ready to succeed.
