Re: hair questions

It took several months after chemo before I went without a wig; my hair was still quite short and super curly. I lost my eyelashes 3 times before they decided to stay put. If your hair isn't quite where you want it to be, I think a stylish hat, beautiful jewelry and having your make-up professionally done will do the trick. You still have a few months to shop before the big day. I am sure you will find the perfect dress and accessories - don't forget a fabulous pair of shoes :-)

Best of luck!!
