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

    hi 

     im on my 4th round chemo next week out of 6 , my hair started falling out after day 12 on my first round 

    my scalp the pain was really sore to touch , my nurse said shave it to number 2 , which i did , but it still fell out , the only hair i have left is my eyebrows which are now thining 

     

    i still have my nhs voucher , didnt fancy wigs , i typed in chemo caps/ hats on amazon so far i have 3 

    maybe thats stopping me loosing my eye brows 

    my out look on this what ever falls out grows back
