Headgear

I have lived in beanie hats, chuck ‘chemo beanie hat’ into google and loads will come up. I got some off Etsy, mostly, there’s a company on there DJC Boutique and they have a huge range of colours and patterns. I’ve even got going ‘out out’ beanies I have got a wig it it’s never been in my head once, I like it but I don’t know, I’ve never worn it x

Thanks Anna. I've got a stripey 1 from DJC it's lovely and their choice is amazing - very soft too!

I think I'd feel the same about a wig. I had an old aunty who used to take hers off to get the Yorkshire puds out of the oven - so I always think of her

Thank again

I agree Etsy has been great for me and particularly DJC. I decided against a wig. I couldn't see the point. There are lots of pretty beanies and headcoverings out there in every colour you could want

So true - massive choice and I love DJC.

Thanks ladies!

I just had a lot of different hats - beanies for indoors, woolen ones for outside, and the Peruvian style with pleats that I still wear now as it's so cosy over the ears!

I did get a couple of pre-knotted scarf/hats from chemo headwear online but only every wore those for all my appointments as they were cool enough to wear both indoors and out, I would have been far too hot wearing a hat and I had loads of hot flushes due to sudden menopause. All the other hats I can still wear if I want to, but those scarf ones look a lot like you're going through chemo so I keep meaning to donate them. I didn't mind that at all at the time - I was going through chemo and was never bothered by that.

I got a wig, but never wore it. It just didn't feel like me

Thanks that's great and confirms what I was thinking.

I've never fancied a wig and most people say they never wore theirs. Beanies seem to be the most popular and I know exactly what you mean about the headscarves.

Cheers
