The wigs I had looked very nice. Wore a scarf at night as I didnt want any of my family see me without hair!They didnt care,, it was just me. In the morning put a beautiful wig on my head. My hair came in beautifully. My beautician said it looked so healthy!

Laurie is right Josie. Myeloma is know to go to the skull. My hair actually came back looking good. My husband's aunt thought I had gotten a real expensive perm. Check out the chemo caps and scarves on Amazon. They are very cute. Wigs.com has really cute wigs, that are reasonably priced. The Rachel Welch brand is not as itchy as the others. Mostly I wore caps made from bamboo fabric, very soft. Remember it's temporary. Love and prayers for you 💖🙏

I don't think it's recommended during the high dose chemo you get before stem cell transplant because it would prevent killing the cancerous plasma cells in the skull.
