Lynda . . . I found a really cute hat that is cut somewhat like a baseball hat - but has a small brim and some fullness in the crown. It covers my head from just above the forehead back to the neckline. It has elastic at the back for comfort. . It almost covers the entire scalp. I'd be glad to pick one up for you.I was getting compliments on my hat without people realizing it was wearing it for a reason.Love,Rogene
