Title: Getting a Wig in South Australia
Post by: Issa on March 20, 2014, 02:19:31 AM
I am new here so firstly, hello to you all.

I am 26 and just starting my transition from Male to Female, one of my biggest blows to self confidence right now is that i am balding so i figured i would try a wig, but i really don't know much about where to go or what to look for and i am wondering if perhaps someone who is from this part of the world might be able to help me.

Fell free to ask me any questions if you feel it would help, I am quite open albeit nervous about talking so publicly.

Hi Issa, and welcome to Susans! We have people come to visit us from all over the world, expressing different points of view, and you are likely to find someone to help you along your way :) Here are some important links and things to ponder as you begin your journey here.



I'm an Adelaide girl as well, and we have a whole mob of Aussies on the site so do enjoy and ask away.

I don't wear a wig but I have heard that the wig shop in Rundle Arcade is good.

Welcome young sister

Hey there! I'm in Sydney, but am also a wig wearer. I bought mine online from a NSW based business - Henry Margu wigs (http://www.thebreastformstore.com.au/transgender-wigs-margu.aspx). The site is ostensibly for cross dressers (so beware of the flashing boob gifs) but is a great way to look at wig styles and buy without the nerves of going into a store.
