I got a free wig on loan from the cancer council and yesterday went to starkles to try some more on, ended up buying one online last night - at a saving of over $200 compared to the starkles cost! Hopefully it turns out to be the same !!
My local cancer council were lovely I highly recommend going and having a play. However they didn’t have that many that were a young woman’s wig (more older woman’s style which is fine if that’s what you are!!! I felt it would be a dead giveaway though being so young ha ha) so I ended up taking a long wavy one close to my natural that will be good for lunch/dinner out but for everyday I thought something short would be better. So I chose a short blonde bob after trying them on at starkles :)
ive also gone to spotlight and bought a few 150x100 pieces of light flowy fabric to make into my own wraps, much cheaper if you hit the sale stand!! And definately cheaper than buying them from a store... op shops are a really good idea I haven’t been to any yet!!
My hospital doesn’t offer cold capping and I personally couldn’t sit through it I dont think. My husband and I are both shaving our heads when I feel ready (he has long blonde surfer locks!) we’ve actually raised quite a bit of money for research doing this!!!
Best of luck, we will be bald together if you end up losing your hair 🤪
