    Wig
    Just call the local office of your nearest American Cancer Society Office and they will set an Appt. for you to come in and try on wigs and help you pick one that best suits you. Don't forget to sign up for their Look Good Feel Better Class as well, besides valuable tips for coping with hair/eyebrow/eyelash lost, you will receive about $250 worth of free make up and they show how to use scarves, style wigs, etc.
    Good Luck.
