The Role of Confidence in Recovery
Confidence plays a crucial role in recovery, especially when facing the added side effects/ challenges of hair loss. Feel good headwear can not only enhance your appearance, combined with positive self care it can also help with recovery too. ( Read more at Look Good Feel Better.)
Stylish Headwear Options
Most women find hat wearing something a little new and different. It can take time to build up confidence with how colourful, or how much volume you feel able to wear on your head out and about. Headwear is no different to any other item of your wardrobe it should reflect your style and colour range. If you wear muted tones in mono-coloured separates, then it will probably be different to someone who loves colour and pattern and experiments with her wardrobe.
- Keep it Simple – Chemo Turban Kimmy + Black Infinity.
My advice would be start simple – select colours you know work for you. Volume is your friend, is softens head shape and creates a frame around the face where your hair once was. Volume and texture are easier to wear well and more flattering. Below you can see the same style, on the right we’ve simply introduced another neutral colour into the infinity band – Chemo Turban Kimmy + Black Infinity.
You may need to experiment with hat shapes according to your face shape. You’ll see whether volume off to one side, or on top of your head, looks good and balances out your face shape.

Chic Turbans: A Versatile Choice
- 2. Volume is Definitely Your Friend
A next step could be to increase volume and add colour. Here is Hair Loss Head Wrap Sabrina, the same style shown again with a pop of colour added. As you can see between the styles, there is more volume that you can wrap and place where you wish about the head. (This is a scarf with a hood that you place on your head first and then wrap.)
- 3. You Know What You Like
Once happy with volume and colour there are all sorts of statement turbans – easy pull on wear – that will enable you to face any ‘party crowd’.
Above are Perry, Gigi and Ava – all drape fabric to achieve volume and ‘alter’ the shape of the head. If you’re unsure just what your loved one would feel confident in, read on as we take a look at scarves.
Scarves: Endless Styling Possibilities
- 4. Don’t Discount Scarves as Too ‘Fiddley’
Scarves offer the ultimate in head volume, dependent on scarf dimensions and how you choose to tie. They offer maximum flexibility on shaping your headwear to your personal style and they never appear too tidy or small on your head.
Silk scarf options can be found here and our tying guides for easy scarf tying style here.
If you’re thinking silk is either too dressy or too expensive for your budget there are plenty of alternatives. Endless combinations of colour and print.
Finally another beautiful gift idea is a silk pillowcase. Silk doesn’t catch at hair whilst you sleep, a welcome gift if you’re experiencing scalp sensitivity. If this is an issue you may also wish to consider changing shampoos and using a gentler variety – we particularly like Green People’s Scent Free Shampoo. The reviews speak for themselves.
I hope you’ve found our gift ideas useful and Happy Christmas!
