Finding The Best Chemotherapy Headwear

By Christa Jarvis


Hair loss is one of the most devastating side effects for women undergoing treatment for cancer. It can lead to increasing isolation as women do not want to leave home and endure stares. Fortunately, chemotherapy headwear available today allows these women to go out with their heads held high. Many products such as scarves, hats, berets and turbans specifically designed for this purpose bring compliments instead of embarrassment.

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 such an item can contribute a great deal towards comfort or irritation. One with elastic that fits more tightly should be avoided by those who feel constricted when something fits too tightly. Finding a good fit that is not too loose or too tight is possible as many different sizes are available. The item also has to offer sufficient coverage so that the hair line is not visible.

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.

One basic item that can be worn with many different outfits is extremely useful. However, the fact that these items are so reasonably priced means that many women purchase a whole range of items suited to different occasions. They have the option of picking out one that suits what they are wearing and the activity perfectly. This can take away a whole lot of unnecessary stress in an already very stressful time.

Choice of color is always a very individual one. It is also very much related to matching the colors of clothing already owned. Someone who prefers wearing black clothes will find black items very useful whereas someone with a lot of pastel colored clothes would have to go for lighter colors. Very bright colors should rather be avoided when the face is looking wan and washed out.

This type of headwear can be accessorized and personalized in many different ways. A twisted scarf or an overlay tie can add additional volume and interest as well as compliment the colors of an outfit. A beautiful broach or decorative pin gives a personalized touch and in cool weather a knitted headband can add extra warmth.

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.
