Wigg'in it up with Trevor!

Blimey, so many wigs so little time! That was my initial thought when they told me in the chemo suite that i would loose my hair after the first cycle. I had really long brown wavey hair, you know, like the girl of the Patene advert. I was a 'because im worth it' kind of gal.  Now ive pretty much lost all my hair apart from a few sprigs. I didnt go mad and shave it all off.

Carrying on with uni i managed to cover up the thinning with hats and having my hair cut to my shoulder until it got to the point where i thought it was time to wig it then i had my hair cut really short. My parents bought me a wig from Trendco and they were brilliant at matching my hair colour. I went for a real hair one because i wanted something i could curl for uni ball's. Then i was recommended to see Trevor Sorbie! What a legend, although the waiting list was long Trevor, a celebrity stylist, cuts wigs for free.

Losing the Hair

My hair has yet to begin falling out, but I am getting prepared with a funky wig or two, I recommend the 'Hot Hair' site..but scarves are a little harder to find..department stores etc do good selections. Tie Rack are cool but only do the silk ones which I've heard have a tendancy to slip!
