Still feeling discombobulated!

No I didn’t but I’m in Melbourne - it may be different in northern parts of Australia with higher humidity. I got a synthetic wig - cheaper and lighter than real hair, and much easier to look after. Wash, shake, dry on a stand and comb! No styling required. Also you may really never want to look at it again after your hair grows back☺️. While everyone at work knew I was wearing one, it was really a two hour wonder! Then everyone forgot about it. People who didn’t know, didn’t know. I bought mine at a cancer/alopaecia specialist rather than online as I found a fitting helpful, I’d never worn a wig before. But it’s mostly pretty straightforward, mine required a tiny stitch inside for a perfect fit and when my hair started to grow back, taking out that little tuck meant it fitted well until my hair was long enough to go wig-less. Best wishes.
