My new wig. A bob.

Suzanne333 profile image
86 Replies

I ventured out today with my lovely friend Karen. Went to the wig shop and got this bob wig. I really like it. I will be wearing it a lot when my hair starts to fall out.

I got one last year which was long so they said I can take it in and they’ll cut it to how I like.

They didn’t charge me for it. I know I have an exemption card but thought I’d still have to pay something towards it. I did last year.

Hoping all you lovely ladies are all ok today.

Sending you all a hug. Xxxxx

Hi Zena.

This wig place has every type of wig in every colour. They will trim the wig too so that it’s exactly how you like it.

The man who owns the shop is lovely. His Dad died in January of pancreatic cancer. He says he loves helping people how he can. Xxx

Hi Szanne, I lost my hair 3 times in the last 3 years each time I was going to buy a wig but twice was in summer and just wearing a hat or scarf was so hot I decided not to,

But looking at your photo you look great the bob suite you and frames your lovely smile keep smiling..

Wow! That's gorgeous. Really. Not just saying that. What brand is it? (if I may be so presumptuous.)

Suzanne333 profile image

Hi

It’s a good wig isn’t it. The brand is Noriko. Xxx

Tesla_7US profile image
Tesla_7US in reply to Suzanne333

Honestly, you look gorgeous. For me, the worst part of losing all my hair was that I no longer had privacy. Everyone could see I was extremely ill. I had very long natural hair, solid white in the front and brunette in the back. No wig can even fake that, plus I always wore it pulled back in a ponytail. Every single wig I tried on looked like a "hair hat". It was devastating. I felt like not only was I ill but I was so conspicuous without my trademark hair that I just quit going out in public. I only spent time with very close friends and family. So, seeing how well this fits you and how lovely you look is an inspiration. ;)

Suzanne333 profile image
Suzanne333 in reply to Tesla_7US

Hi

Aww. A wig isn’t for everyone. I know what you mean about a ‘hair hat’. My natural hair was long and thick and I loved it. I used to hate having it trimmed. I kept asking my friend yesterday if it looked like I was wearing a wig. I did feel a bit like people could tell. We went into a coffee shop. No she asked the man serving if he liked my hair as I’d got it fine that morning. He said it looked nice. I then told him it was a wig. I felt I had to. He said he wouldn’t have guessed but He would say that.

Your hair sounds like it was very unique. It will be again. Xxxxx

kat98116 in reply to Tesla_7US

Wow! You nailed it on the head for me Tesla. I tried on a few wigs and not only did they feel awful, but they looked so fake. I'm really small and there was so much HAIR! Yes, conspicuous and no privacy. Exactly. Even though I wear cute hats and try to look my best I feel so self-conscious. Thanks for putting it into words for me. Anything that makes us feel less alone in our experience is a plus for me. Kathy

Suzanne--I got a wig before Frontline and when I put it on eventually I felt like I was trying for the rock star look and I could not wear it. I want to take your picture with me (altho I am not blonde) to say --I want to look like that!!!! Oh and I would not mind borrowing that incredible smile either. You give me hope that if I have to do taxol again I have more options! ENJOY it and watch out for those men that will be following you! oxox

Suzanne333 profile image
Suzanne333 in reply to Maxjor

Hi

Aww thank you. Of course you can take my picture with you. It’s a good bob isn’t it.

Yes I’m back on the old taxol again. And carbo. Only got 8 months remission but hopefully this time it will be longer. 👍🏻

If not, there are other options.

Must keep positive.

Hope you find a lovely wig. Get one that’s not too heavily wefted on top. You can get ones with real looking scalps. Like the one I’ve got.

Send a pic when you get one. Xxxxxxx

Maxjor profile image
Maxjor in reply to Suzanne333

I will--right now, I am on Carbo Doxil and they told me I will only thin, not lose my hair. When I had Carbo Taxol my hair thinned but I did not go bald. So I am hoping that means I won't thin as much as I might (others on this and one other site I am on said many lost 33% of their hair. I am hoping for less. But Taxol may be introduced in the future (don't we wish we could say "if it comes back" but still, its comforting. Thanks for the tip on the scalp part. I do think I have that with the rock star one :-) oxox

Suzanne333 profile image
Suzanne333 in reply to Maxjor

My friend is on the same chemo as you. She still has her hair. She’s not lost any. She didn’t lose much when on taxol either.

Go for the rock star look. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Xxxxxx
