On the hair front: I found this scarf-tying video quite clear. It is on a site that sells various headwear, but no need to buy their scarves in order to use the advice! I'm lazy, so during the first two cycles of chemo this summer, I tended to just tie a kerchief over (first) my thinning bob and (then) my DIY pixie.
I got a lovely wig from Trendco, which my hairdresser trimmed a bit for me, but I mostly use it on very cold days -- extra warmth -- or during video calls and meetings for work, primarily because I was never one to style my hair, and every wig is far more polished-looking than either my OH or I are used to. (My hairdresser advised artificial hair as natural hair can be more itchy; I also read that long hair wigs of artificial hair are more likely to fray from contact with necklaces, etc., so went with a bob.)
Once all my hair was out, I ended up being more of a beanie girl -- my mother is a quick crocheter (I'm a very slow and new knitter), and whipped several up for me in a couple days from cotton yarn, as I have a slight wool allergy. She found quite a few patterns via the Knots of Love site, for anyone interested in this option. Depending on the color of yarn you choose, these patterns can look quite "modern"/hip. I like these better than jersey beanies, as the patterns provide some texture.
I think it really helped me that I found a look that felt like me, even though it was nothing like my pre-chemo hair style. Keep experimenting til something feels right.
And my hair started growing back after I switched from FEC to T, so now I have a growing buzz across my whole scalp after being completely bald. But I love my beanies.
