Hi

I know real hair ones are better, but they are expensive.

I have a synthetic one from from www.valentinewigs.co.uk/

If I liked it I was going to get more and possibly a real hair one.

I absolutely loved it, I even got a different colour to my normal hair and ordered another one straight away in a different style. The site is really good and cheaper than the other sites I found. I even sent one back as it didn't look right and had a refund. You get a VAT refund too if you are going through chemo.

However after all this I haven't been bothered to wear them!

Being bald its a lot more convenient or just covering my head with a cotton cap. I'd recommend getting some cotton caps as my head really hurt when my hair came out and it helped to sleep in. I didn't try the cold cap as I knew 2 people that suffered it and their hair fell out anyway and I had enough to worry about. I cut my hair really short and was so glad I did as when it came out (after my second chemo) It was everywhere and would have been more upsetting if it was longer. (I'd always had really long hair)

I don't want to add to your worries but my eyebrows came out and this was loads more upsetting than my hair. I'd recommended you get them microbladed before you start chemo, unfortunately It was lockdown when I started chemo and noone will do them when you are going through chemotherapy.

Whatever you decide I'm sure you'll rock your new look
