I was so lucky. My wig arrive within days of when my hair started falling out. As luck would also have it, I had a hair apt for the next day. So I also took my wig in on the day I had her cut my hair SUPER short and she also styled my wig. so I, like you NYSUNSHINE, ended up walking out with the same style I had (but better) before it all got chopped off! I really wasn't such a bad experience. Not like I would have imagined before it all happened.
I also wish I knew of this site earlier in my bc journey. Sure would have helped a lot. would have reduced a lot of stress....
