You guys crack me up !! I just had a good laugh. I needed that !!
Seriously, whenever I needed wigs I went to the American Cancer Society and got free wigs.
I never had one that was uncomfortable. The name of the program was Toppers. I don't know if the ACS still has that program or not. A very nice person let me try on as many wigs and in as many colors as I wanted until I found a style I liked. Then she took a new one in the style I choose out of the cabinet and taught me how to put it on, style it and take care of it. She also gave me a couple nice scarves. All for free !! It was just like going to an expensive salon.
Wig makers donate their unsold wigs to the ACS. I live in Hawaii where one would think it is too hot to wear a wig, but I wore a wig without the underneath cap whenever I needed to wear it.
