I would tell them to go to thier local american cancer office. I got a very nice wig and bra with the prosetic( spelling off) . They are very kind. Now when I go on interviews I be looking more normal.

Click on the "Good Wishes" logo in the upper right hand corner of the page for more information.

    OrgSites.com Wiggs for Love is a organization in memory of Mary (Spagnoli) Cron who lost her battle with breast cancer. Her family and friends have formed Wigs for Love, enabling breast cancer patients who have lost their hair due to chemo or radiation to receive a wig at no charge to them.

    TheRainbowShop.com If you're looking for a headwrap with a tie dye look, this is good option. 100% cotton and several style options.

    al-muminat.com Square cotton scarves. Small selection but good prices.

    I never purchased nor wore a wig. Living in Florida it's just too warm and I'm just not a wig person. I ordered several headwraps from this site. Excellent quality and selection.

    Just thought I'd throw a comment in. I bought several beautiful scarves from Carson Pirie Scott (similar to a Macy's or any large chain department store). I normally can't afford to shop there but they had 40% off clearance prices on their scarves and I bought $20 scarves for $1.87-$3.00. It was fun!! So just watch for sales and if you know someone who works there maybe they can tip you on when a sale is coming up. I didn't know anyone but my daughter was window shopping and noticed one day. One other tip; I wear them LOOSELY around my neck so if my wig gets too warm, I can put the scarf on instead. It already compliments my outfit, so it works well. Teresa

    Also..
    Don't forget to try re-sale shops. I found the most beautiful scarf (not silk, but silky feeling) that was one of Picasso's prints. Multi-colored (red, purple, black, yellow, blue) that went with alot of outfits. I think it cost $1.00! I now wear it around my neck!

    That's a great idea Patti,
    That's a great idea Patti, resale stores. I know there are several consignment stores around here that have so many nice things. Great places to look.
