Libby, no no, didnt take it the wrong way, just had an image of everyone wearing the same. Thought it would make a good picci.
I feel bad that you thought i was grumpy, Must be my chemo head thinking again. There was a slightly darker wig. Mine is called heidi mono by gisela mayer and I would recomend it to anyone. Just finding my feet "head " with it at the moment as I dont want the front cut until im sure as it wont grow back,lol.Keeps going in my eyes at the moment so cemented down with elnett hair spray.

Hi Sally think I am a bit super sensitive at the moment but get your point that if there were several of us we could almost be clone like ( sounds a bit like Dr Who)and a photo call could lighten things up My 3 letter word ( my friends euphemism) is 'Parker’modelfrom Rene of Paris. i got it at Trendco. in London and the girl there was ace.No I didn’t think you had the chemo meanies. And you have enough to put up with the attention seeking SD ( Was that you in another thread perhaps)? Didn’t know you could use ordinary hair spray though. LOL Jackie
Hi ibby, yes it was me in the other thread, feel a bit mean about that. But I feel better for having the rant. I got my wig at Haliford film studios, in Shepperton. The lady said elnett hair spray was the best as it dosent clog. Ive sprayed it on and it does brush out easily and it smells nice too. Bit more expensive than the norm but so was the wig. My friend is so impressed with the colours on my wig she wants to take me with her to the hairdressers to have hers coloured.
The suns back out today here so im going to enjoy it before my bloods tomorrow.have a good one

Hi, can I just join in to say that although everyone tells me the wig is great & ‘you’d never know’, I always find myself playing ‘spot the wig’ in outpatients when I’m there.
Hi Diwy1
I play spot the wig as well when I am in the outpatients. I wonder how many we get right
hi ladies ,well what a weekend its been hair was getting thinner ,eventually cut it yesterday then my husband shaved it off,my 21 yr old son was devestated ,thought he was going to cry but i reassured him i was fine ,till today when getting ready to go to work (after begging them to let me work a couple of hours a day) got as far as the main street and couldnt make myself go on the bus ,came home and broke down ,weve been through so much and ive never cried once ,but today enough was enough ,so decided to go back next tues as ive got bloods tomorrow then 2nd chemo on thurs,should be used to the wig by then, its so sad what we all have to go through was wishing i didnt accept the chemo now ,im sorry i should maybe think of those less fortunate,as it is only temporary isnt it ,just feeling really sorry for myself today
Hi Margaret
Another day & I hope you feel a bit better. I’m a bit further on than you, having finished chemo & rads, & now have a covering of hair, so that I know the outside world WITHOUT the wig won’t be long. But I still feel so sad sometimes, & you are right, it is really sad what we have to go through, mentally as well as physically, & I think sometimes we’re too weak to stand it, but somehow we do. I never used to cry & now I can cry at the drop of a hat. And if I’m honest, thinking of those worse off never helped me when I was really down, because at those times I couldn’t bring myself to care - so that’s how horrible this disgusting illness has made me !
Anyway, back to the wig - isn’t it funny how I was so scared to go out in public with it, & now am scared to go out without ?
Anyone else as daft as me ?
HI, I had my last chemo feb and finished rads 2 weeks ago. I have very fine fluffy cover of hard on my head, can’t call it hair yet. When i look in the mirror i don’t see me, no hair no eyebrows, no eyelashes. I can’t wait to have hair and not to have to wear a hat or wig. I was terrified when i walked out of the hairdressers with my wig on after having it styled i was so sure it would fall off, now i too can’t be without it.
Hi Marian,
I know you are near to where l live, so where did you go for your wig? l know there is a shop in Ware, l think it is called Hair to wear! or something like that.
Just wondered if there was a shop that was closer.
