My teenage kids thought I looked pretty cool

I'm with Gail on the wigs - I got a beautiful wig before my hair loss from a special salon that deals with cancer patients - never wore it! Luckily, my insurance paid for it - it was several hundred dollars. It just looked too artificial to me and scarves, hats, baseball caps were more comfortable . I lost my hair in Jan and by June I felt it was long enough to go without a head cover (plus it was getting too warm for scarves in June) - my teenage kids thought I looked pretty cool with my hair spiked up!

But it was cold in the winter - I even had a very comfortable hat to sleep in - could not believe how cold my head would get at night - so be prepared for that.

I also had my hair come in thick and very curly - and almost jet black ! I had shoulder length baby fine straight hair my whole life - light brown to blonde in color - I always had to pay for body waves. Now I love my new hair and keep it short - although it has lightened to dark brown and is not as curley as at first.

So many people didn't recognize me at first - always doing double takes before they realized who I was - it was very funny. I sure don't look like my drivers license anymore!

Good luck!
