Losing your hair is probably the most traumatic part of chemo. While you see people every day who are bald by choice or by nature, you don’t see so many who are bald because of disease. 
One day during my chemo treatments, I walked into a wig store, removed my wig and told the lady that I needed an alternative to the wigs and scarves I was wearing. My wig, though cute, was about as comfortable as a bra, and I couldn’t wait to get home to take it off. In fact, I often removed it in the car on the way home. Wig, bra, sometimes both. 
The wig lady handed me a green and white calico turban, some stick-on bangs and a bottle of toupee glue. (Go ahead and laugh, I did!) 
Now I don’t know about you, but a woman in a turban screams "cancer patient" to me. And I don’t really like bangs on me normally, much less when I am trying to appear somewhat “normal.” And toupee glue? Are you kidding me? Now, of course I have seen some people who would benefit from this, but I’ll be darned if I was going to use it!
I knew there had to be an alternative! 
Enter a BUFF®!
What is a BUFF® anyway? 
Let’s start with what it is NOT!
	            •	It is NOT a naked picture of a Survivor (YIKES!)
	            •	It is NOT a fan of the TV show Survivor (although I happen to be one!)
	            •	It is NOT a Survivor wearing clothing made entirely of suede
	            •	It is NOT a Survivor wearing beige clothing
Here is what a BUFF® is:
	            •	BUFF® is the brand name of an innovative, multifunctional garment.
	            •	Useful, comfortable and fun, it protects your head from the cold, wind and sun.
It can be worn as a scarf, cap, headscarf, or headband with complete freedom and comfort. BUFF®, the original multifunctional headwear. May be used with or without chemo.
