Hi @KylieG
I had my hair cut short when it started to fall out, which was 2 weeks after chemo commenced and then just let it fall out progressively. I bought two wigs which I occasionally wore - my lovely daughter in law bought me a few hats and headwear from Jas Fashion - www.jasfashion.com.au - they are affordable and have a lovely wide range of options; the other lovely thing that I bought myself was two caps/beanies from Smitten Merino who are in Tasmania and you can shop online - one was cotton/merino and the other just merino. I wore one to bed every night as my head was always cold :) I also bought myself a man's balding hair cutting thing from Good Guys (Remington Head Shaver) so that when it grew back unevenly, I could cut it evenly and now that it is finally growing back all over it is an even-ish 1cm. It was easy to use and soft on my head ;).
The other good thing that I used every day was one of those sticky rollers to collect all the hair on my pillow and sheets each morning <3 <3
