Brenda, is that your hair in the pic. I love the way your hair in the pic. That's the way wig looks and I love it, it just itches so dang bad. I figured it was probably the Herceptin still messing with my hair. I will be on Herceptin forever, so I guess I will have to deal with this curly mess. My sons hair is very curly and we put a straightner in it. I am thinking about putting one in mine but I'm afraid what it may do, what do you think? Although, it can't look much worse than it does now. My color still doesn't take right either. I use a semi permanent hair color and the roots never seem to take the color...sherry
