Hi, I am looking into buying a wig, any suggestions ? also are there people on this site that would sell their wig?
Not sure what I want to do yet, thanks for your information, Cheza

- Afraser said:I bought two synthetic wigs - they cost about $200 each, with personal fitting, but you can now get good quality much cheaper. I never regretted the cost though - the one I bought for ‘going out’ was the one I wore nearly all the time. But the 2nd one was really useful when I forgot instructions, opened a really hot oven with my wig on and frizzed the fringe! That’s about the only thing to be careful of - a blast of high heat! Otherwise so easy, wash with wig shampoo, rinse, shake, put on a stand (plastic one is small, folds flat and very cheap) and it dries overnight. Brush and wear, no styling required. I wore mine from December and contrary to rumour, Melbourne can hit the 40s in summer, but it was fine. I wore it all the time - all my work colleagues knew about treatment, but I didn’t feel the need to advertise it to all and sundry, particularly as I mostly felt and looked well. Mine was easy to adjust - the fitter put in a couple of minute stitches to fit me perfectly, which in turn I took out as my hair started growing back. Best wishes.

- Hi ChezaH, I spent a lot of money on a real hair wig and I was sorry. I could only wear it for a few hours as it made my scalp itch like crazy. When you wash it,you have to restyle it unlike synthetic wigs which bounce back into place.I didn’t wear mine much but it was good to have for special occasions.Hospitals often have a wig loan library. www.headcovers.com have reasonably priced wigs. You could look on EBay- my daughter got one for $15! We are all different but personally I felt more confident in a wig that looked similar to my own hair colour and style.Perhaps some Gold Coast ladies will know of wig places.
