Hello.I have a son that is just 5.Since he has been a baby he can not sleep with out twirling my hair.I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem and how they overcame it.I have been told that I will loose all my hair due to the type of chemo.I don’t want him to be in secure as I an see the fright in his face when we try to explain things.My hairdresser suggested cutting a pony tail and letting him hold that.But we both agree it’s going to fall to bits.If anyone knows of any companies or has any ideas I would really appreciate it.I hope everyone is doing as well as can be expected ???he’s a clever little man and only the original will do lol ???
Hi, I had my hair cut from quite long into a bob when I started chemo, I’ve kept the long hair to stick inside a hat, - although I haven’t done this yet, a friend of mine did a couple of years ago with surgical tape. Looked very good I didn’t know until I started this journey. Might work. My wigs are pretty good one is softer than the other. Hope you find something x

Bless, my son was a twiddler as well, such a lovely thing.
Have you thought about using the cold cap? I had a lot of hair to start with, but still have passable hair now ater 12 sessions of Taxol and 4 of FEC. It is time consuming, but kept me looking normal(ish) - the ish is I’m 52 and have always dyed my hair, as you cant do that through chemo I have brown hair on top and grey underneath!!
Otherwise, it might be worth getting in touch with a wig maker and seeing what they would charge to weave it into a cap, then at least it would be your hair and fixed, and you could wash it if needed.
Good luck xxx
Hi all.My cold cap didn’t work? I looked like Fryer Tuck ? My little one asks me to wear a wig or a hat as it does frighten him.He thinks I look like a minion and feel like a toothbrush.Bless him.In the end I had my long hair cut in to a bob.My hairdresser made some plaits.We went to build a bear and had them put in to our hair bear as we call it.He has been amazing and goes straight to the bear when tired xxxx
