Personal Accessories

Hats, Caps, Wigs and related items, etc.)
.
Regarding wigs:  Start shopping for a wig or other personal accessory related to hair prior to losing your hair.  When choosing a store, consider not only price but also whether or not they provide style consultation, ethnic expertise, future cleaning and styling, products to make a wig more comfortable, and home delivery if needed.  Before choosing a wig, consider your lifestyle, as well as the length of time and extent of hair loss expected.  Bring a friend or your hairstylist along to help you find the store and products that best meet your needs.
