Head Scarves and Wraps for Cancer Patients

We recommend choosing a scarf made of natural fibers, such as cotton or silk to soothe sensitive skin. Pre-tied scarves are best who want a ready-to-go option, while flat scarves are best for those who want styling versatility. Another benefit of flat scarves is that they can be used after treatment, on the neck, as a headband and many other ways.

All of our scarves are designed with cancer patients, so they are all comfortable for chemotherapy. To find the best scarf for you, ask yourself the following questions: 

• Flat scarf or pre-tied? Flat scarves give you more versatility, but they need to be tied every time you wear them. Pre-tied scarves require little to no tying; they are easier, but offer less styling versatility.
• Which material? All of our materials are great for cancer patients, but personal needs and preferences come into play when picking which material is best for you. For example, if you want something with more body and volume but still soft, go with cotton. If you want something that is super soft with a more draped appearance, choose viscose or silk.

Yes, all of our materials— including pure silk, 100% cotton, viscose, and more—are soft, non-irritating, and skin friendly. These fabrics were designed and selected with cancer patients in mind, so they are ultra soft and soothing against the skin.

Tying a headscarf is simple and easy to do. Just fold your square scarf diagonally into a triangle, place the long edge of the triangle along the forehead, and tie the tails in the back into a square knot or bow. Learn lots of ways to tie your chemo scarf. Alternatively, if you buy a pre-tied headscarf, you will not need to tie your scarf at all!

Yes, these scarves can be worn during as well as after chemotherapy. In addition to tying on the head, there are many other ways to tie a square scarf: as a kerchief, a necklace, a hair tie, a headband, a kimono, and more. Styling versatility is virtually limitless.

Pretied scarves can also look very elegant and fashion-forward on the head once your hair grows back post-chemo.

To ensure the longevity of your cancer scarves, we recommend hand washing and laying flat to dry. Remove wrinkles with a hand held steamer or an iron on low heat.
