Chemo head scarves are an alternative solution to wigs when suffering from hair loss during cancer treatments.
How to Choose the Right Chemo Head Scarf For You
-
Easy and pleasant to wear, head scarves and turbans allow you to keep your face clear while offering many different designs to change your look frequently
-
Try on as many different head scarves, turbans, caps and hats as possible to help you find the one you like and that you are the most comfortable wearing
-
It is up to you to decide when you would like to wear your head scarf at home or all the time
-
Opt for soft, pleasant, light material, such as cotton or bamboo, as it will let your scalp breathe
-
Avoid synthetic fabrics as they can irritate your skin. Some fabrics can also be slippery, like silk, which can be uncomfortable when worn
-
Make sure your scarf measures at least 1 metre in length and 80 centimetres in width
-
Create volume! If your scarf is too short, you can wear a terrycloth cap underneath
-
It is recommended to sleep with a small night cap made of cotton or terrycloth to keep your head warm at night
-
If tying a scarf is too painful, pre-tied scarves exist that can be worn like a beanie
Additional Tips
-
If you choose to wear your head scarf all the time, make sure you have a large range of different colours and designs so that you do not get tired of wearing the same one all the time
-
You can dress up and customise your scarf by attaching different accessories, brooches or jewellery to it
-
Alternatives to wearing a wig and head scarf at the same time exist:
* Hair halo that grips the scalp
* Fringes of hair sewn into turbans
