Blue radiates trust, green brings calm, red overflows with energy… Whether you believe in color psychology or not, one thing is certain: if you’re losing your hair because of chemotherapy or alopecia, a colorful accessory can give your face extra sparkle and character. Still hesitant about wearing color during cancer treatment? No need! Color gives both your mood and your look an instant boost. Here’s why…
1/ Color brings a healthy glow to your face when you lose your hair
Without hair, your appearance immediately looks very different. Your hair normally forms a colorful frame around your face, while your eyebrows and eyelashes add structure to your features and help define your expression. When you lose your hair, a lot of color disappears from your face at once.
On top of that, your skin tone can look paler and duller because of chemotherapy or other treatments. To instantly add warmth to your face, choose a colorful hat or scarf. Not sure which shades suit you best? Go for one of these three top colors: Night Blue, Spring Green or Aqua. They flatter every skin tone and give a healthy glow.
2/ Hair loss from alopecia or chemo? Color boosts your self-image!
It can be tough to look in the mirror and see your hair falling out. Still, try not to avoid your reflection, and learn to accept your hair loss. Being kind to yourself and staying positive is essential for your well-being and recovery. Show that you’re holding your head high and dare to go for a cheerful, colorful outfit. Feel like your head looks too bare? A fresh new hat in a bold color to the rescue! Choose a shade that makes your eyes pop—it’s always flattering.
3/ Color inspires you to experiment
Ready for a new look? With hair, you’d need a haircut or a dye job—and a skilled hairdresser—to change things up. But if you’re wearing hats or scarves because of alopecia or cancer treatments, you can experiment much more easily. One day a sunny yellow hat, the next a trendy print in white and blue… you can wear every color of the rainbow in seconds! And you don’t need a massive collection to enjoy variety. Just five hats or scarves in your wardrobe are enough to mix and match with any outfit.
4/ Become a true compliment magnet!
Do you know the feeling? People around you know you’re in treatment but don’t quite know how to bring it up. A colorful outfit and a cheerful printed hat can be the perfect icebreaker. Compliments will come your way in no time! It’s a fun way to start a conversation. And of course, you decide how much—or how little—you want to share about your illness and treatment. But one thing is certain: everyone will notice how radiant you look!
5/ Green and blue have superpowers
Struggling with red cheeks, hot flashes or rosacea during treatment or recovery? Then there are two colors that work wonders for your complexion: green and blue! It’s one of those small but effective chemo tips we’ve shared with many women. These shades subtly neutralize redness and give your skin a fresh look. If that’s not a reason to add more color to your wardrobe and style… what is?
