wigs part 2

Hi Anabel

From one who has been bald for a while, my head was only sore before all my hair fell out, once my hubby gave me a gentle clip it was fine. I spend most of the day with a bare head it's just too hot to cover up. When I go out depending on where  I am going I either wear my wig which I was given by our wig library and is so like my real hair loads of people have no idea. I bought one of those false fringes on elastic which they showed us at "Look Good Feel Better" and put  it on under a bandana looks pretty good. You lose that total bare forehead look. I was having a hard time finding cotton bandana type head wear and luckily in one of the bandanas from the hospital hat library had a website in it www.headcovers.com it's in the USA but it is amazing, with our dollar being very favourable I bought 4 hats/bandanas as it was under $60 the postage was only $10 and all arrived in 2 weeks wrapped in tissue paper  with a pink breast cancer ribbon on it. I am epecially pleased with the visor bandana as it comes right down over my whole head it's all cotton and can wear it with just my bristly bald head under it and looks great. Have a look you'll be amazed.

PS My hair starting falling out around 16 days after my first chemo it is distressing especially when you wash it in the shower, good idea is to have it cut short.

 Good luck with your chemo and hat hunting!!
