Getting new hair for a child- Hair club for kids

I don't know what is weirder, a 6 year old with a comb-over or a 6 year old with hair piece.
When Jimmy decided he wanted to get "new hair" we found out about Hair Club for Kids , a charitable foundation for kids with hair loss. Jimmy is totally bald on the side and back of his head from Radiation Treatments for his brain tumor. He has been "Half- Bald" for allmost 2 years now. I have been so excited for him to get hair. They took measurements of his "Bald-spots" 6 weeks ago and ordered his hairpiece then. Jimmy got his new hair Saturday. We went right after the Candlelighters Easter party so he had his face painted like a bunny.
Before

First they washed his hair. you can see where he lost his hair from radiation therapy

Then they took the pattern they had made for his hairpiece and marked where it would go

They cut off any of the little hairs that he had in that area. Then they put the hairpiece on with adhesive and cut and styled his hair.

After

He really looks good!

Thank You, Hair Club!
