In today's The Times, Body + Soul section is a whole article on wearing wigs. It is by Trevor Sorbie, famous London hairdresser and it is about cutting and styling wigs for people experiencing hairloss through chemotherapy. He writes that it is a devastating experience and it is. My sister suffered it and unfortunately died from her cancer eight years ago. I have never forgotton how her awful wig from the NHS was part of the problem.
My sister's experience is one of the reasons why I started wear my hair, www.wearmyhair.com. We stock a good selection of short, medium and long wigs and also men's wigs. Though not everyone can come to the house to try on and fit their choice of wig, software is available now for simulated trying on. But, even without either of those options, and the latter will be made available to our customers as soon as possible, a wig purchase should not be daunting as they are so lifelike, adjustable to fit and easy to trim. For most people, your own local hairdresser will be able and willing to trim the wig, but if it is just the fringe that is too long, you can probably do that yourself.
Another point to bear in mind, and this in no way compromises the difficulties faced by those whose need to wear a wig is due to illness, is that plenty of people of both sexes wear wigs in preference to their own hair. This includes me. That is how good today's wigs.
