As others have said you get a voucher for an NHS wig. Some hospitals have a shop on site you can choose from quite a large selection and you only pay for a higher quality one.
I found having treatment during the winter that hats were better when going out and I bought a couple of thin ones that I could wear round the house. ( I really did not suit bald).
Christies in Manchester has a dept run by volunteers called Headstart and they sell scarfs etc at cost and show you how to do really fancy headcoverings. So ask at the hospital if they have anything local.
You may need some eyebrow pencil as well for when they dissapear.
Thank you for you help. SOrry I didn't acknowledge it before. I tend to get sort of lost in the forum. I did learn that Baby shampoo is NOT the way to go. All it does if stop the shampoo stinging babies eyes, otherwise its rather like normal shampoo, just thinner. Ive gone with Simple shampoo. Good old simple soaps. Always the best way to go lol. Thank you again.River 56
Hows it going. I always use simple shampoo because I have a reaction to some ingreadient in shampoos that gives me spots round my hair line. When I lost my hair I still shampooed my scalp with a small amount rather than soap or shower gel.
