BB Blog — Chemo hat

A local Welsh friend unable to have cancer op in England faces extra stress during her cancer treatment talks to BBC 

A cancer patient was told in her hospital bed in England that she could not undergo surgery because she lived in Wales.

Lowri Mai Williams, 42, from Powys, had been referred to hospital in the Midlands for her cancer treatment in 2023.

But it was not until the last moment that she was informed the operation had been cancelled.

My main aim when starting Bold Beanies many years ago was to provide stylish, comfortable and 'easy to put on' headwear for cancer patients at an affordable price; giving women of all ages a choice to stay fashionable even through hair loss. We now make chemotherapy caps for men, teens and kids too!

Made on the borders of Wales and England, using the highest quality natural fabrics, beautiful Liberty Prints and fun designer patterns to create Bold Beanies cancer beanie hats and other headwear solutions for hair loss such as head wraps, bandanas a different types of head scarves.

What makes Bold Beanies bald head coverings for cancer patients having chemotherapy treatment so popular? Bold Beanies hats, head wraps and scarves mean there is one less thing to worry about. 

Bold Beanies caps are made using quality natural breathable fabrics with minimal seams and no labels inside to make them as comfy as possible. The thin stretchy cotton fabric allows them to fit snugly but not tightly onto a sore scalp and stay put. This and their temperature adjusting qualities is especially appreciated at night time when getting some sleep is challenge enough or as a base layer under other types of hats, headscarves or bandanas. 

Bold Beanies hats come in a variety of beautiful Liberty fabrics, fun prints and a wide range of plain colours. Headwear designs to suit all tastes, budget and help someone complete an outfit and feel a little more normal. Various sizings for women, men, teens and children. 

When you’re deep in chemo, sick like you never thought possible and can barely sit you’re so weak, having to think about your bald sore head is a struggle… You feel cold because you’ve lost your hair.

Your loved ones struggle to see you looking so ill. Bold Beanies are extremely simple to put on with no effort. Super soft and breathable and keep your head at an even temperature. They are made with minimal seams away from pressure points and made using quality cotton fabric with a little stretch to fit snuggly (but not tight) on a sensitive scalp so they stay put (scarves often slip around).
