BEST PLACE TO BUY A WIG IN SYDNEY

Hi Karen

I bought my wig at Wig Affair in the Piccadilly Arcade. It was about $300, but it was amazing. I went in to try on wigs before I lost my hair and managed to get one that looked just like mine. It was synthetic which meant it was very easy to look after and it look just like real hair. I think from memory my health fund reimbursed me about $100. I wore it all the time as I am not a scarf person.

Thank you for your advise, I have seen a really nice Acrylic wig, it is only $73 and looks alot like my normal hair on the site Wigshowau.com, but not sure if anyone has dealt with them and if they are ok.

Would like to think I could embrace my bald head but at 50 not sure that I can.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I'm no expert but I bought an expensive real hair wig,similar to my own colour and style.I hardly wore it cos it was summer and so hot and itchy.Being real hair means you have to wash it and then restyle it yourself.Acrylic wigs bounce back to their style but might not look as natural as real hair. A starting place might be to look at www.headcovers.com as they have cheaper wigs and loads of head gear to pick from.I got mine from a hairdresser at Windsor.She had wigs in a back room and she was very helpful.There is a services directory on this network you could have a look at(type in wigs).Don't worry if you don't get one in time as you can always take a photo with you which is what I did.Some women embrace being bald but I did not. I'm probably vain cos I found it distressing.Anyway,that was 2010 and I'm fine now with my usual hair .Best wishes - Tonya xx
