- Cate64Member@sheryn try Creative Wigs, yes they are in Melbourne but they have an on-line shop. Get one that is monofilament, they look more natural, around $300.
I went of to Xmas break with hair & came back with the wig very close in style & colour to my natural hair & no one clicked that it was a wig, they thought i had just had a hair cut - except the HR Manager, she knew because I told her when I was diagnosed..
I had the wig called Codi as pictured.
- sherynMemberYes I have already checked reimburse for wigs in not on my HCF but thats ok. So go natural. I have looked at the look good feel better program so far nothing near me. :( Im not going to rush just want it right!
- Lmc1310MemberI bought one in Sydney for about $400. But I wish I'd bought a natural hair wig as mine is so hot and itchy. At the time I thought the price for natural wig at $1800 was a bit steep. HCF reimbursed me. Some hospitals have wig libraries I believe. Have you heard of the look good feel better program (I think that is what it is called). I found it really helpful as they provide lots of hints on wigs and scarves. You also get the opportunity to try different styles. Best wishes Sheryn.
