I'm a 35 year old woman who has just shaved her head due to chemo. Having always had colorful hair, and not much money, I decided to try a "halloween" style wig first. This is acceptable, if worn with a skullcap underneath. If you have hair, the inside of the wig probably won't be as irritating to you. I will be applying a light dusting of baby powder or corn starch when I wear it, just to tone down the crazy shininess a bit. This is not a high quality, long-term use wig. This is a quite decently made cheap wig, meant to be used a limited number of times. Also, I trimmed it quite a lot so that it was a little more "real" on me and that worked very well. I am glad I bought it!
