I am so happy to see all these links. I could have used them a while back when my mom went through chemo and lost her hair. As for men, being bald these days is a fashion thing but for chemo patients its not. A huge amount of the bodys heat is lost through the scalp and chemo patients tend to be cold and dont need that extra loss on top of everything they are going though. You might google search what is called a 'dew rag' or "Do-rags" These are typically made from plain bandana shaped ( ie: square)pieces of material and simply tied in the back of the skull. They seem to be the rage with bikers and others.
