Just Google "Hat Stores in Seattle." A lot come up.

Hi Tracey-I haven't been on the site for awhile. I too went to William Collier and couldn't believe how "easy" and comforting they were. My hair loss was so quick (literally 4 weeks)I ended up having one of the stylists shave my head when I came back to pick up my wig a couple days later. Hang in there, there is no right or wrong way to go through this journey--and I have also learned there is no one answer for this disease.

I have found some great hats at the downtown Nordstrom's. I just returned (last night!) from Maui and spent a lot of time with scarves and sun hats on. Really didn't want to take "Irena"--I have a hard time saying wig--to the beach. It is such a personal thing--I have purchased so many hats and scarves, a lot of trial and error!

I am seeing a wonderful dermatologist at UW. Her name is Dr. Andrea Kalus. I cannot say enough good things about her and the staff there.

Have a great time on your trip--the wonderful thing about traveling so far from home is not having to be concerned with running into people you know. Traveling has given me much more confidence with the whole AU debacle! Tracy

Good luck hun!

I had my first one today and I just feel so much lighter. I know how you feel about the thin hair looking weird- I feel the same. Can't wait for my wig!

Let us know how it goes xxx

I love hats! I like a lot of hats at Urban Outfitters (sold online too). Or, Target usually has cute hats. I bought a large brimmed hat from there for my trip to Costa Rica. I think baseball caps might be my favorite. One thing to remember... at an airport, you will have to take off any hat to go through security. Some museums might ask you to remove it as well. I was asked to take off my baseball cap one time when I went to a concert. I was NOT prepared for that. Now I know! :)

Thanks for the advice! I'm going to check out Shine (a store for cancer patients) on Friday to see what their hat selection is like, and I have my hair cut tomorrow. I keep thinking back to my collecge years when my hair was too thick, naturally blonde and down to my waist. I had about a foot chopped off one day just for the hell of it. What I wouldn't give to be in that situation now.... My friends joked then that the hairdresser probably swept my hair up after I left and sold it to a wig maker. Life is crazy!
