Selecting 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.

Such items have to be made of fabrics that are as comfortable as possible. They often have to be worn for many hours at a time and a bald head is more sensitive than one covered with hair. A fabric like a soft cotton not only feels gentle but it can breathe, allowing proper ventilation and circulation.

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.

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.

So many different items are available today to help women in this circumstance. They can hold their heads high and go on with their lives without feeling a loss of dignity. Suppliers of such products have often become involved in the business through some loss of their own to cancer. They understand exactly what is needed and produce items that are comfortable, stylish and affordable.
