i know this sounds really superficial but i am a 5 year survivor and still havent grown my hair back completely , i am not all that concerned, im not a superficial person but i feel like it should all be back by now. I had a brain tumor and major chemo and radiation on the back of my head and spine. its sparse and thin. i was hoping for some suggestions for a haircut. One that would be flattering and easy to maintain. i am not one for wigs, i had one a couple of years ago and i was so hot and uncomfortable. I would appreciate some feedback or suggestions. if anyone would like to chat about their experiences, im free to talk, i know it helps to talk about things, i do it all the time. thanks :)
