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

When my hair fell out for the second time as a result of long-term chemotherapy, I comforted myself by splurging a little on some slightly more pricey headgear. As you know if you've tried them, regular scarves tend to slip right off a bald head. I don't like wigs, since any I've tried have been hot, itchy, and refused to stay in place.I have been delighted with this selection. The online picture doesn't do it justice; the colors are more neutral than they seem in the picture, a very nice combination of tan, brown, and black; and the pattern is a combination of mottled spots with more open, stripey parts--a common enough "animal" or "jungle" type print. The material is silky in weight and texture, about the thickness of a nice scarf. It's slightly translucent, but because of the pattern, you can't actually see through it.It's nicely lightweight for summer wear, which worked well for me, since I lost my hair in the spring, though I think this cap would be fine for all but the coldest or wettest weather. It's extremely versatile to match up with different outfits. I've worn it with both solid colors and prints, and with both casual and more dressy outfits (for me that means nice tops and slacks, but it would be fine with dresses or skirts, I think). It can be worn with the little scalloped bit on the side, over the ear, or in the middle of the back, and I've been told it looks very cute. I've been complimented on it more than once, even by strangers! (As you know, close friends and family will say anything encouraging.)The cap fits snugly enough not to slip once you have it on; this is a very important feature if your head is completely bald, since that makes your head slippery. At the same time, the elastic section that keeps it snug is wide, maybe 3/4 inch, and flat, so there's no elastic cutting into you anywhere.I would highly recommend this cap in this pattern as a fun addition to any chemo patient's wardrobe, and definitely worth the price. My hair is growing back now, but I plan to keep the cap for "bad hair days."

These caps are pricey, however, they are beautiful. Please add more colors! I have all colors (plain) and wear them for dressy occasions. I was afraid the material content would be uncomfortable and make me sweat, but it’s VERY COMFORTABLE and when I do sweat, they dry out quickly. They are the nicest caps out there. I own about 100 various caps total, but these are my favorites!!!

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. :-)

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 bought about 6 of these in various colors and they all fit fine, look okay - especially when compared to other such products - but I really wish the fabric was softer and that there was a 'summer' vented version of this. It gets almost as hot as when wearing a wig, and makes my head sweat a lot. I love the sleep caps a wonderful volunteer at the center gave out - so incredibly soft and absorbent, but not really suited for outside the bedroom, sadly.But overall, this is the best of the lot as they say and the color/pattern selection is extensive. Maybe I missed the ones that are soft and vented. They are a bit pricey in my opinion but I guess that is what you have to accept among so many other things. I had this at a 4 until I began thinking about the price and feel of some of these caps.
