Caps with 'fake hair' to wear , during/post chemo

arpie

On Xmas Day, I was at a restaurant for lunch with friends & one person was wearing the 'middle' cap below - and it looked really cool!!   

They are available on ebay & Temu etc I am sure there are more 'styles' too.

Here's a couple more - would you consider wearing one?



take care

Hi @arpie
I had a whole lot of these that I wore during chemo after my hair fell out. I had all different styles and colours. I found them great, much easier than wearing a wig and found it gave me a lot more confidence when I was out and about doing shopping etc. Most people never knew it was a hair cap and didn't give me a second look which is what I wanted! I didn't want the world to see me as a cancer patient and these helped me so much. Losing your hair is such an outward manifestation of your treatment and I felt so much more like I had regained some control over who knew and who didn't for a change. Plus the added bonus was I got to have some fun trying different styles and colours that I never would have normally!! I highly recommend them. I got mine on temu and they werr about $10 each so much cheaper than a wig too.

That's awesome @Coastiejas xx   What you've said is exactly how I'd 'thought it' when I saw this guy wearing one on Xmas Day!  I thought it was a quick & easy way of grabbing a hat & going out - without the hassle of wigs!  I know they won't suit everyone - but if they see one in a shop - try it on!  You may even 'like the look'!!   

I hope all is going well with you & wish you & ALL BCNA members a very happy & safe New Year xx
