Maybe it would help to know many wigs for cancer patients are made of real hair donated by folks who really care? Then it can be stroking someone else's hair, braiding it for them, pinning it up, etc.?

Bald can be beautiful: Click.

Also, I have been reading blogs and such about baldness in women. Several of them recommend using some makeup to accentuate your facial features. It draws the eye to your face. And, also wear earrings, dangly ones. One person found chemo caps to which they glued bangs (fringe in the UK) so it looks as though you have your hair tucked up.

The main thing the baldness says is you have chosen to FIGHT and DESTROY the cancer cells...your bald head is a symbol of you choosing LIFE. And, that's a GOOd thing!:-)
