Pre-Tied Head Covers

Important Tip for Chemotherapy Hair Care

During chemotherapy, it’s important not to shave your head completely. While you may choose to cut or buzz your hair to a #2, we recommend avoiding anything shorter. Shaving your head too close can cause discomfort and even lead to pain, as the scalp becomes very sensitive when hair begins to fall out.

Additionally, cutting your hair too short can result in the short strands becoming like Velcro, which increases the risk of irritation and even infection. To minimize discomfort and keep your scalp safe, aim for a length that’s no shorter than the size of a grain of rice.

Taking care of your scalp during this time is essential, so remember to be gentle and listen to your body’s needs.
When choosing a hat or cap for chemotherapy, we always recommend picking colours that brighten your face and lift your spirits—shades like pinks, corals, reds, creams, and cheerful prints are all great options. These colours can bring a lovely warmth to your cheeks and really enhance your natural glow.

Everyone tends to reach for black, and while it’s a popular choice, it can sometimes look a little harsh. If you love black, try going for black with a print to soften the look while still feeling like “you.”
