Newbie with soooo many questions !!!

Hi Simsm

I live in Scotland and so was fortunate to get a script for a wig on the NHS. I have to say tho that although the wig is nice enough [just like Miss Piggy's hair and so it is named Miss Piggy], she was only outside twice during the time of no hair.

I bought a few casual hats and overall I much preferred some brightly patterned cotton jersey tube-type beanie hats that I got on ebay. They were soft, comfortable and easily washable. 

Good luck

Have you thought about looking on YouTube,just search for wigs.xx

Hi Simsm, I live in Harrow too! 

I didn't have chemo so can't help directly, but there was a recent thread on this site called "Help - I need headwear advice" which you might find helpful.

Wishing you all the best x

Hi! I am in Taunton and the hospital put me in touch with a lovely local company who make real and synthetic wigs. I bought one at around £200 and it looks very real and lots of people have no clue it¡s not my real hair.  Good luck in finding one that works for you 

I got my wig from Raoul Wigmakers https://www.raoulwigmakers.co.uk. It was all fine, online choice and fitting, they were fantastic. We get a free wig within a certain price range here, synthetic hair, but my friend paid £270 for hers (from a different place) and I can’t imagine mine was vastly different and probably cheaper. Check to see if you get a voucher towards it or any support, most hospitals do that, ask your BCN. I’m in Bucks and never went there, it was all done remotely but was a good experience x

I'm also in Scotland so got a prescription for the wig and although I ordered one online, I never once wore it. I just wore hats and scarves - easier through the winter! It just didn't feel like me.

However, the online shop had tonnes of choice - www.judyplumwigs.co.uk
