Fashionable Head Wear!

Dear @onemargie not very original though - was an adaption of the name of teenage novels/films called “The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants” but maybe could be a novel idea to share scarves etc xo0

I initially wore a wig but got sick of it so moved to headwear. I bought all mine from buff headwear - many different colours and designs. Order online and they arrive in a few days. You can buy them in ‘outdoor’ shops as well.

Hi gals!
I too had the same issue with headwear. Here’s what I’ve learned:
1. I need the soft (expensive) bamboo skullcaps for sleeping at night, especially when it gets a bit cold. You can get these half price at your local cancer council wig library, if your region/ area has them. Worth having a couple on rotate; they’re also useful for under silkier scarves to secure them if you’re doing a head wrap.
2. Thanks to Autumn I’m practically living in beanies/woolly hats - thank god for the cooler air, I say!
3. Those videos are so helpful! I’ve raided Vinnies several times for their biggest square scarves (best for turbans with a knot at the front and spare scarf material running back down the centre of your head) and their longest rectangular scarves (best for wrapping around the head and for big bows, if the material allows). As the look good feel better ladies say - colour is your friend!
4. Fringe wigs are the future. I bought two from this place ($20 for real human hair) and often chuck them under a head scarf or a turban purchased from good old eBay.

Pics above are of said fringe wig in action - I just lie it on my head in the vaguely the right spot and get wrapping to secure it. You can buy a net wig cap (like fishnets for your head) to clip the fringe on to if that’s preferred - I’m just lazy and they give me a headache! Hope this helps

Turban style headwear is coming back into fashion. I've seen so many women lately with fabulously knotted scarves on their heads.0

@Loobylou Have a look through this thread, lots of tips and links.
You might also like to check out a Look Good Feel Better workshop once chemo is underway. It can be a real spirit lifter, educational, and the swag is excellent.
@Sazbe You might like to check out this thread, and the LGFB workshop too, if you head down the chemo path.

I got some 'straw' hats on line from Headcovers. Made of paper and surprisingly soft. Still have them 6 years later, they wear well.0
