Hi Everyone,
I was born with alopecia and received a wig on the NHS when I was 8 until I was 21 when my hair grew back. I am now 23 and my hair has fallen out again completely eyelashes eyebrows everything. I tried to talk to NHS regarding getting a free wig due to medical exemption due to the fact I have epelepsy but they have said I cannot get any help on getting a wig.
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a place I can go for cheap wigs cheapest I have found is £300 pounds I am only working as a tempoary member of staff and I pay rent and get left £160 A month left for bills, food, and anything else I want.
Any ideas on what I can do?

Sorry to hear that. Try ebay, sounds a weird place to buy wigs, but you can by them there - probably for a fair bit less than £300. Good luck x0
