Wigs
Hello everyone, I’m due to start Chemo in 7 days and have been told I will lose my hair. Can anyone recommend a good wig supplier? and is there any Medicare funding for this? also what’s the best/ ...
Hi @Kerry-Lee47 I’ve only just seen this thread so you might be sorted already but just in case, I bought my wig from the individual wig in Sydney and I did buy it before I lost my hair. It made me more confident that I had something ready.
Dont buy real hair - that’s when you end up spending $2000! The synthetic hair wigs are amazing. You really can’t tell the difference especially if you get a monofilament one with a lace front.
The only difference between real and synthetic is that the real one you can colour and style - curl and blow dry etc - the synthetic one stays in the style you buy it. Mine cost $450.
When I took the plunge and had all my hair cut off I did find that it needed adjusting and so I took it back, and they took it in for me to make it more snug and a perfect fit. They did it while I waited.
I sometimes wear a beanie over the top, which is great in winter and also makes me feel more secure.
How are you going with your chemo?
