The initial curl was kind of fuzzy and she learned that this wasn't uncommon. After just a couple haircuts the curl was completely cut out and her natural straight, full hair came back. She had a wig from a salon like the 1st one above, and the stylist there was really able to help her through all her questions. That wig was expensive maybe around $400.00 but the cost also paid for all her haircuts and needs during her transition. Even if you don't want a wig, these stylists will be worth your search. Not sure if you have a "Merle Norman" store near you but they also have synthetic wigs that are very nice for much less money, maybe $75 and up. Sometimes wig donations can be found from the American Cancer Society. A stylist can easily trim your brows too and show you how to do it, my guess is they will tame down with time also. I think it is really worth your while finding the salons or stylists in your area who specialize in this area. Try the American Cancer Society for recommendations, I imagine they would be a great resource for you. I did a quick google search on ‘hair cancer Asheville NC’ and got a couple of leads in your area;

I was diagnosed with breast cancer and due to chemo I lost all hair, everywhere. Since the end of chemo my hair is returning but it is curly, I had strait hair before. Also my eyebrows are soooo thick now. I have never had to wax or pluck. Now they are like giant caterpillars. Are there salons in my area (Asheville, NC) that can help me out. I need a price break and want to learn how to style curls and how to take care of my eyebrows and very small eyelashes? Dealing with the loss of my hair, the chemo, and radiation are overwhelming and I need help to deal with this small dilemma!
