Choosing 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.

Comfort is an important factor when choosing such items. A bald head is particularly sensitive to any roughness and that is why the fabric used needs to feel as smooth and gentle as possible. Natural fabrics are a good choice as they can breathe, allowing for good circulation.

The fit has to be carefully considered too. An item that is too loose or too tight can be difficult to wear for many hours at a time. Some items with a tight fit where elastic is used are too uncomfortable for those who do not like a feeling of tightness on their heads. Many different sizes are available and once a good fit is found, other of the same size can be bought with confidence.

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.

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 very easy to add a personal touch to such items with a pretty broach, pin or colorful twisted scarf. An overlay tie too, is a simple way to add some volume and can be chosen to co-ordinate with the clothes being worn. Many people have a few scarves they do not wear lying around and these can be borrowed to help personalize a hat or turban.

All these options available offer these women a way of boosting their confidence when dealing with hair loss. Suppliers are offering items that are affordable, fashionable and comfortable too. A number of them have been through loss of loved ones from cancer themselves and make donations to cancer research from their profits.
