Turban Plus The Abbey Cap in Ruffle Fabric Chemo Caps Cancer Hats for Women

so let me just put it out there, I have trichotillomania. for those who don't know, it means I pull my hair out. i know weird. Believe me, didn't chose this but i try to focus on recovery and having a sense of humor about it like the more i pull the more i look like my bald dad. Anyway, I only pull my head hair during high stress times. right now I am a stay at home mom of two girls ages 2 and 10 months so my stress is ridiculous thus i have a ginormous bald spot on top of my head.Therefore, having various head wraps, bandanas, hats and a wig or two is imperative not only for my self-esteem/hiding my baldness when going out in public but also to keep access to my hair to a minimum and reducing my pulling. bought two of these turbans from turban plus. this one and one in brown with gold flecks. I really like them. They are both light weight and stylish as a turban can be. they don't itch or make my head sweat which is a problem as itchy head is a trigger for me thus more pulling. only thing is they are a tad big for my miniscule head, however, the attatched elastic thing in the back can be doubled up like a pony tail holder around the fabric of the turban making it tighter. only reason i gave it 4 stars was due to the bunchinee in back from being big but doesn't look bad. does the trick and is cute/modern enough to wear out without hardly any quizzical/odd looks!

I have ordered several Abbey caps and love them. The ruffles give some movement and provide some fullness which I need. You may think the plain black is too boring but I like to add a lighter weight summer scarf and tie in the back to change the look and add interest. I can also change the look by wrapping the cap with decorative Halloween fabric or could use different fabric for a special occassion. Just because I have lost my hair to chemo doesn't mean I still don't want to look good and this helps me feel better about myself during a difficult time. Looks are important but they mean nothing if they don't feel good to wear. The cap is well made and the material used is perfect weight and doesn't scratch. The construction is so that there are no seems to hurt tender heads and is easy to put on and wear on days I don't feel my best. I received the cap in record speed in excellent shipping envelope.

I recently finished chemo therapy. Not all my hair fell out...just most of it. These caps are so soft and so easy fitting!! My sisters sent me several different caps and beanies for gifts and these are my favorite. They automatically adjust to fit due to the elastic in the back. The elastic is wide and covered so it doesn't pinch. The ruffles give it a little style and volume because heaven knows there's no hair under there helping fluff it up. The fabric is great because it covers my head well without retaining so much heat that I get sweaty (unlike a fleece cap). My sisters gave me two and I love them so much I purchased two more myself. I'm currently considering adding a couple more caps in different colors to the mix as I'm going to have another round of chemo so it will be some time before my hair recovers. :-)

Excellent in stretch it really wears well

After my hair fell out when I started my chemotherapy treatments, I needed some head coverings. I got the hot pink one and I love it! The color of this ivory one just doesn’t look as good on me, but I do really like the way this head covering has vents to help cool my head and the ruffles are so cute!!
