Hi I ended up with a straighter wig, which was a nice change from the curls, as it takes me AGES to straighten my hair so I took it as an aoportunity to have sleek hair for a change! The curly wigs are Ok, i'ts really about what you feel comfortable with. All wigs usually get trimmed down by a hairdresser, so if you find a nice curly one, you may be able to get it thinned out. If you send me a link to one you are thinking of, I have a friend who is a hair/make up artist and she regularly works with wigs, so I can ask her to have a look at the pic and find out if it can be thinned.
I remember the feeling before I started chemo that I had to get all that in place before I started - but don't beat yourself up to do that. I borrowed a friend's wig in the first instance, then found one of Ebay that I liked the look of ( you see heaps on there saying worn once etc) lots of people end up preferring scarves. There are also wig libaries where you could borrow one and keep looking till you find what you like
