My hair is just growing back from chemo so I'm still in the cover my head era of life. I didn't wear a wig but instead wore caps and scarves. I live in Florida and haven't really had a problem with being too hot with a cap on and believe me to gets hot in Florida this time of year. I don't wear one around the house, only when I go out in public. Keeping caps on is a challenge because your head is slippery with no hair. I wore an under cap with grippy on the edges to keep my scarves and caps on. I got it on line at Wrapunzel. I had more issues of getting cold in the winter months and wore cotton knit caps to bed and around the house to stay warm. To go out in public I had my scarves that I wrapped around my head. In public I didn't want anything too tight on my head because I felt it made me look bald with a pattern on my head. I wanted some fluff or shape to the head covering and the shaper I got at Wrapunzel did that in addition to holding whatever scarf or cap in place. I have gotten a lot of compliments on my head coverings, sometimes from strangers, over the last 6 months. Whether they were just trying to make me feel better or they really liked what they saw is irrelevant. I appreciated them.
