Fashionable Head Wear!

Hi everyone,

I am about to start chemo before a full mastectomy, and whilst a strange question - I thought I would ask it anyway. I am after fashionable and stylish headwear for my journey. I have had a peek around and what I can see is a little drab for me. I would love any links.

Thanks x

  • Hi there @RR I wore cool bandanas with bright colours and smiley faces etc on them and scarves during my treatment and found them cool and comfortable. There were heaps on eBay and the enurse website has some too. Mine have been recycled firstly I sent them to NSW then they got sent to vic with which is where they are currently. But she will need them for a few more weeks still. But when she’s done I know @Salpal will be more than happy to post them on to you to use them. The bloody things will have had more holidays than me thsts for sure!!  We are here for you love. You csn do this. Biggest hug. Margie xxx
  • There's some sites on you tube that show you how to tie scarves into quite stylish turbans.  If you haven't got any scarves, the local op shop can be a goldmine for them.  When I'm sick of the wig and the beanies aren't appropriate, I do scarves and usually get compliments (maybe people just don't know what to say).

    I was hoping that Yassmin's Hijabista show would come on (you know that one everyone's gettting their knickers in a twist about).  Her scarves always look fabulous.
  • Hi RR,
    I bought head stuff online from USA called www.headcovers.com They were nice and affordable and delivered to your door.I used to prefer wearing hats/caps and I’ve seen new cheap winter ones in Kmart.Ofcourse,I don’t need them now but it’s still fresh in my mind of just how hard it was to lose my hair.
    big hug.xx
