Anyone used anything that helps with chemo hair loss?

Did your insurance cover this procedure? I lost mine to chemo, grew back slowly but in a year I at least had a full head of hair. Had cancer again 9 years later, no chemo just radiation but then got alopecia. Ugh. Now I’m completely bald again. Sick of beanies, hate wigs.

Understand. I have been ok with wigs. I wear a nylon stocking cap held in place by a rubber headband. The wig stays in place well over top of that. I live in FL and it is not too hot. I found several wig stores where the owners worked with me to find the right wig, matching my natural hair color. Many friends like it better than my own former long hair. I took several wigs to my hairdresser and she cut and shaped them. I am ok with this option until my own looks better. Nobody would ever know it isn’t my hair. Good news is your cancer sounds under control. Hope you find a hair solution you are happy with.
