Hair loss help

Jax2007

Evening all

I am awaiting a start date for chemotherapy. I have been told I will lose my hair. I am doing my best to prepare for it. Telling myself it is a small price to pay, it is only temporary and...well, it's only hair. I am not doing over well with that plan. 

I realise now that I need to just accept it. So, I'm after some advice around head scarves. Are the brands/designs that are better than the rest? What has been your experience? Any help/advice you can give is greatly appreciated. 

Many Thanks
