Alternatives and Accessories for Head Scarves for Cancer Patients

An alternative to cancer scarves is the Just In Time collection of headwear designed specifically for women with hair loss. Styles include cancer turbans, chemo hats, tie-backs, sleep caps, chemo head wraps and scarf pads.

Many women think of head scarves when they are first faced with coping with hair loss during chemotherapy. No doubt head scarves have their place in concealing hair loss, but they also have their limitations.

Silk and rayon head scarves can be slippery and lack body. If they are large enough to adequately cover the hair line, they might prove a bit unruly to arrange in a way that is flattering. The Just In Time Scarf Pad is an important accessory, designed to be worn under scarves to give them a little lift at the crown that in turn makes the head scarves more flattering.

Often chemotherapy patients find the best way to use a silk scarf is as an accessory. A square scarf can be folded diagonally and wrapped around the base of a cancer hat or chemo turban to create more body, better frame the face, and add a personal touch.

Having chemotherapy and dealing with hair loss can be a challenge that is made less difficult when you are aware of your full range of choices. Just in Time hats and turbans are valuable options.
