Have you finally chosen a wig after lots of deliberation? Don’t forget that you won’t be wearing it every hour of the day. It’s best to always have a chemo headscarf ready for those moments when your wig just isn’t the most comfortable option — or when it needs a little freshening up.
For each of those “wig-free” moments, there’s a chemo head covering that looks just as stylish and often feels far more comfortable than your wig. Read on and discover the 3 moments when a chemo headscarf is the best — and most beautiful! — alternative to your hairpiece.
Moment 1: sleeping safely and comfortably at night
Sleeping with your wig on would be a shame. Your precious hairpiece isn’t made to withstand all the nighttime turning and shifting on your pillow. And your scalp could use some extra softness at night too. Because of chemo or certain medications (like cortisone), your skin becomes more fragile and dry, and even the slightest irritation can cause sores.
Planning to sleep bare-headed? You can, of course. But keep in mind that you lose around 80% of your body heat through your head. Even in summer — and especially if you don’t move much — your head cools down quickly. The solution? Chemo sleep caps without scratchy seams or elastic >>
Moment 2: your wig needs a little maintenance
Whether you give your wig a refresh at home or take it to your wig specialist, every now and then you’ll have to do without it for a bit. That’s when having a scarf or soft hat at hand is incredibly practical.
TIP: why settle for a plain, colourless cap when you can choose a beautiful chemo headscarf? You spent plenty of time selecting a stylish wig — so why not feel equally stylish during your wig-free moments? You still want to feel feminine and confident, right?
Moment 3: relaxing at home without itching or irritation
Resting between chemo cycles is essential to rebuild your energy reserves and help your body recover more quickly after treatment. And sometimes you just don’t feel like doing much at all. A quiet afternoon on the sofa or a cozy nap can work wonders.
And during moments like those, you probably don’t want to wear your wig — but you may not want to walk around with your bald head either. In fact, many customers tell us that after a while, they only wear their wig outside and switch to a soft, casual chemo cap at home, one without irritating internal seams.
