Until faced with coping with hair loss, most people have never seen a specialist scarf or hat. Specialist headwear has been designed with particular features in mind to help hide and cover your scalp and hair line. They are normally available from wig suppliers, oncology units, web sites and some department stores.
There is nothing to say that you can’t wear regular headwear but, unlike everyday head wear, specialist wear has been made specifically for hair loss wearers.
Specialist headwear offer special benefits and features such as:• Designed to be extra secure and stay on without slipping or coming undone
• Cover the head and hair line to disguise hair loss
• Natural and organic fabrics for comfort and ease of wearing
• Can offer the illusion of hair such as with a fringe attached to a hat or scarf
• Shape your head,, for example added fabric to twist and shape round the head
• Offer complete cover of hair line, nape of neck and forehead
• Offer a good alternative to a wig
