  • Hi, if you are not with the NHS then one of your local hairdressers can get a wig for you. You can talk to them first about what style you would like. A charity was set up to train hairdressers to fit wigs for cancer patients and others with hair loss, http://www.mynewhair.org/ and you can find a list of salons from their website. If you are with the NHS then your prosthetics department can supply a wig but you may have to pay for it. Ask your cancer nurse or someone from the department. I was exceptionally happy with my NHS wig. There are many online wig companies. www.cancerhaircare.co.uk is also a useful resource. All good wishes Theresa
