Where can I get a wig for a decent price and what else should I buy with it
Check with your local American Cancer Society....they offer free wig & free fitting. I ordered 2 from TLC Direct, one long one short, and another from Headcovers.com. They were reasonably priced, a little over 100 dollars. I also ordered a gel wig band to wear underneath...it keeps the wig in place.
American cancer society will give you one for free. They also have " look good feel better" classes where you get free high end makeup and they show you how to use it. Google their number and call them. They called me once I was diagnosed.There are many organizations that might help you get a wig, ask the social worker at your cancer center if she knows any. I bought one for $70 and got one made for me for free.
Hi,
I found some great ones from China on the internet,the trick is to take it to a good hairdresser, and have it cut to suit you, they never look good right out of the packet, even the expensive ones. I got 6 for under 200 aus dollars. Had a lot of fun changing them around the nurses would say they look forward to seeing my new look each week for chemo.
I always had short hair so I experimented with lots of long hair wigs.
Do what makes you feel good, wig scarf or bald.

@A MyBCTeam Member the reason for me asking what’s a decent price was to find out how much you we’re willing to pay, reason why I said how much mine was. I understand you had hair most of us did. Was just trying to help. Was willing to ask where my cousin got my wig from so I can share the information. Didn’t want to share info if the price range was too high. Again, just trying to help.

@A MyBCTeam Member, I think she was trying to ask you what you consider to be a decent price? What may be affordable to one person might not be to another, that's all.
