Finding The Best Chemotherapy Headwear

By Christa Jarvis


When women undergo cancer treatment and lose their hair as a result of this, it can result in loss of confidence and increasing isolation. They often avoid going out, choosing to stay at home where others do not stare at them. This is not necessary today with the amazing range of chemotherapy headwear available, particularly from online stores. All kinds of hats, scarves, turbans and berets are available that are comfortable but look great too.

It is very important for these patients to look as good as possible but comfort is just as important. A bald head can be very sensitive to any roughness, heat and cold. A natural fabric like a soft cotton is gentle on the skin. It must offer protection but at the same time allow for proper circulation and ventilation.

The fit of these items is vital as they usually need to be worn for long periods. Some people are uncomfortable with any item that fits too closely and they should avoid an item with elastic, rather opting for a slightly looser fit. However, a fit that is too loose can be just as irritating. Another consideration is that the item has to provide proper coverage of the hair line.

Simple designs are available that are suited for every type of casual activity, from going to gym to walking the dog. However, even elaborate and elegant designs are found that are suited to wearing out in the evening or for special events. A comfortable sleeping cap will help to keep the head warm at night and a cool cotton cap will offer protection from the heat of the sun.

A basic item that can be worn with many different outfits is an essential in any wardrobe. However, many women in this predicament find that having a selection of items to choose from is not impossible as they are quite affordable. This takes away much stress when dressing to go out, whether it is to go shopping or to the gym. With many items to choose from just the right option can be selected for a specific occasion that matches the clothes being worn.

When selecting colors, it is important to consider the colors already in a wardrobe. A person with a lot of black clothing will find a black item most suitable whereas someone who prefers pastels will probably need to go for a light color such as a light blue or pink. Avoiding really bright colors like a cherry red or canary yellow may be necessary for someone whose face appears washed out from the treatment.

It is possible to find many different ways to add more of a personal touch to headgear like this. A beautiful pin or broach can do this and even ribbons and bows may be effective. Headbands, overlay ties or twisted scarves used over hats or turbans can help with color coordination and add volume.

The many different options available allow women to conceal their hair loss with dignity and ease. Many suppliers of such products have suffered from the loss of a loved one to cancer themselves. This is why they understand their market so well and make items that are good quality, fashionable and affordable. Some even make a donation to cancer research with every item purchased.
