Choosing The Best Chemotherapy Headwear

By Christa Jarvis


One of the worst side effects of cancer treatment is hair loss. Many women feel a lack of confidence as a result of this and become more isolated as they do not want to leave their homes and subject themselves to being stared at by passersby. Fortunately, there is such a wide range of chemotherapy headwear available today that this is no longer necessary.

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.

The designs of items available today range from very simple to elegant and more elaborate. From washing the dishes or walking the dog to going out in the evening, items are available to suit the occasion. There are even those designed to be worn at night to protect the head from the cold when sleeping.

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.

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.

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.

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.
