Hi Beckybrox,

I am guessing that I was the gal Loo was referring to - although I know her under her full name, don't know for sure that she uses Loo here.

Anyway, I have a selection of wigs due to hair loss through chemotherapy. I was advised to seek out good wigs before any hair loss so that it wouldn't be a mad rush if and when the 'hair drop' day came.

I have to say that the choices out there are fantastic, and very lightweight and comfortable to wear. Most people don't know I am wearing one unless I tell them, but I was careful to match the style and colour and then get my hairdresser to tweak the fringes.

The bad news is that you have to pay for a good wig. You need to get Kanekalon monofilament wigs which have a scalp that breathes and the hair hangs silky and 'natural.' in shops, they start at about Ł150 and can go up to Ł220. You may however get lucky and find exactly what you want on Ebay for less (but if from the USA don't forget that you must pay import duty and tax and a post office handling fee which adds approx 20% to the price you have already paid).

Hope this helps.
