Hair Loss Advice
Hi beautiful people. I have just commenced chemo a few weeks ago and I am just starting to lose my hair. I have bought some hats and scarves but I would appreciate some advice on wigs. Looking at the ...
I bought two good quality synthetic wigs (sorry, I am in Melbourne so the supplier isn’t much help!). I was very happy with them, easy to look after, wash, shake, let dry. I was remarkably well during chemo, worked throughout and the wigs allowed me to feel ‘normal’, especially when engaged in public. Why two? I thought a slightly curlier ‘do’ would be good for more special occasions - but I wore it nearly all the time! Best wishes.
Hi, can you tell me where in Melbourne as I’m looking for one please?
Hi Carolyn2
Not sure if you found somewhere. I have just done my 1st chemo, seems hair loss is a given with the type I had which was TC. I arranged for Kirsten from Wigs on Wheels come to my house, she was wonderful, knows her stuff and had all the answers to my questions and had great advice, no pressure to buy, would highly recommend her. I also went to Creative Wigs in Swanston St, Melbourne, they too were fantastic and suggest you also pop in there. They have so many wigs to try on, different styles and colours. I now have a new friend (wig) her name is Elizabeth, I will unveil her in a few weeks. I am a little nervous, but I am just going to OWN her. Best wishes
May I know the wig store name, I am looking for one. Thanks
Sorry for the delay, I didn't see this message as it's listed under a lot of much older ones.
I went to Head Complements in Ringwood, 85 Bedford Road, tel. 9870 7743.
Good luck.
