hi all, I'll be starting chemo in a couple of weeks and my oncologist said my hair will come out, so want to buy a wig possibly.. I've already got a few scarves, but I want to try some wigs too.. I'm going to Melbourne this weekend, can anyone recommend any good places that will be open Saturday? i have a couple of recommendations for my state, but not Melbourne.. Thanks all ??

Hi, I bought an expensive real hair wig and hardly wore it. It was hot and itchy and because it was real hair,It had to be styled after washing. I could only wear it for a few hours at a .time. Having said that,it's good to have a wig for those special occasions.Not sure where you live but there are cheap wig places at Paddys markets in Sydney. You could also look online www.headcovers.com They have a range of synthetic wigs and also great headgear which I bought a lot of. It got delivered to my door.Tonya xx

Hi keet, this is where I got my wig from in Melbourne, creative hair, 2/154-156 Swanston street, melbourne. Ph 96547383 not sure if you want to travel to city or not but I found the gentleman in there very helpful and patient with me tried heaps of different wigs on finding the right one. I find I wear my scares/turbans a lot and keep the wig for special occasions. Hope this help good luck with your journey. Glynnis xx

I meant to say scarves not scares

Hi,I never bothered getting a wig.So many ladies on here over the last few months have talked about wigs being a waste of money.They can be very uncomfortable,and during chemo,your scalp is often very sensitive.Like Tonya,I bought online from headcovers.com.They are great,and they don't only have scarves,but a great range of hats and turbans.I purchased a bamboo turban,which became my favourite thing of all.It was so soft,and I have met other ladies that have loved bamboo headcovers.Cheers Robyn.xox

Thanks everyone. Yeah I probably won't wear it all the time, but I work a second job at a restaurant so was thinking of having it just for there, then the rest a hat/scarfe.. Thats interesting about the real hair, I might look into the synthetic instead.. I seen creative hair place on the jntermet so might give them a call to see whether they're open on weekends.. Xo
