I’m sorry this is happening. It is a huge thing, a loss and yes will plummet self esteem
My mom was a hair stylist and she used Nioxin and it truly helped regrow Hair in about 90% of her clients dealing with hair loss. It took a few months but worth a try.
As for wigs.. there are so many different type and price ranges. There use to be wig shops around where people could go try them on , but I don’t see them anymore.
Wigsalon.com does have a return policy it’s pretty strict but it would allow you to try different ones on at least.
Good luck
