Head wear!

Hi All,

I have been dipping in this site on a daily basis, and picking up lots of new information which has been very useful as my treatment progresses. I am now wondering if anybody knows of a good 'bandana' site. I have bought 5 or 6 from Bohemia, which are fine, but looking for more choice.

Cheers

Try "Suburban turbans", they have a nice selection of hats,I find hats more comfortable than bandanas to wear.

When my partner lost her hair she got all her bandanas from this mob - bandanashop.com/

Try Lucsious Lids. Luckily the lady who runs this business lives nearby so I could go and look at the large selection of headgear. The pictures on the site can look a bit old fashioned but it's the way you wear them and I was always complimented on how I looked and they were extremely comfortable. I had a colour to go with every outfit. Sorry not sure how to place the link. It's lucsiouslids.com

I bought long scarves from a shop at the Albert Dock (very cheap) and tied them turban style over toning crocheted juliette caps. It gave me more choice of headgear. I also bought hats which were easier to just slip on. I bought a really comfortable knitted silk turban from Patra which I am still wearing with hair! It keeps my ears warm on my bike!

Good luck!

When I lost my hair I didnt want any headwear that remotely looked like a chemo hat, so I bought an oversized beanie off ebay and wore wigs too (they were fab). I appreciate this time of year though must be more difficult as its warmer weather, Im not sure what Id do if I have treatment again soon and lose my hair.

are great. Two sisters, one of whom is a cancer sufferer. They're good value and they get that we don't want an "I've got the Big C" badge on our heads. I get so many good comments about my hats here in France. And they stay on!

They also sell bandanas and zandanas (pre-tied).

Hi, I have just opened a hat shop for all cancer patients

called Tit 4 Tats. I had OC back in 2009, lost my hair

Didn't like wigs, wanted to buy a hat, but wanted somewhere

To buy one in comfort. So I sell hats, scarves and lots of other

Headwear at the Royal Marsden hospital and have done for almost

2 years and have just opened a shop in the Enterprise

shopping centre in Eastbourne. Please visit the website

Where you can tap on the link enterprise-centre.org

You can also email me on sue@tit4tats.com

Look forward to hearing from you

Sue

I used this company, I thought there designs were a bit younger and more modern. They are quite pricey but they all cotton or silk I think.
