BB Blog — sleep cap

I had a really lovely online enquiry from a customer earlier asking about shipping our bold Beanies cancer hats to the USA. 

She was looking for stylish women’s headwear which was also comfortable as she’s having chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. I explained about our snug, coton beanie cancer hats and beautiful quality Liberty printed double sided head scarf made for comfort and ease after surgery. 

Having chemo, she’d lost her hair quickly and felt cold at night, like I did. Her bald scalp was extra sensitive, so she wanted cotton headwear as they are hypoallergenic and breathable. The skull caps for ladies are suitable for daywear and as a temperature controlling cancer sleep hat.

She ordered some soft cancer Beanies (plain colours and Liberty prints) and head scarves to be shipped to America and had a headwear bouquet sent to a friend as a thoughtful cancer gift also having chemotherapy in Ireland. She also ordered a graffiti greetings skull cap to be sent to America for her and her children to write on for her oncologist as he is a runner as thin breathable sweat wicking exercise beanie.

I really love hearing from my customers and good feedback about our pretty cancer headwear.

Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia is a Useful Resource When Searching for Information Online About Hair Loss. 

Hair loss, also known as alopecia or baldness, refers to a loss of hair from part of the head or body. Typically at least the head is involved. The severity of hair loss can vary from a small area to the entire body.

Typically inflammation or scarring is not present.  Hair loss in some people causes psychological distress. 

Common types include: male-pattern hair loss, female-pattern hair loss, Alopecia Areata, and a thinning of hair known as Telogen Effluvium. The cause of male-pattern hair loss is a combination of genetics and male hormones, the cause of female pattern hair loss is unclear, the cause of alopecia areata is autoimmune and the cause of Telogen Effluvium is typically a physically or psychologically stressful event. Telogen Effluvium is very common following pregnancy. 

Less common causes of hair loss without inflammation or scarring include the pulling out of hair, certain medications including chemotherapy, HIV/AIDS, Hypothyroidism and malnutrition including iron deficiency.  

Causes of Hair Loss that occurs with scarring or inflammation include fungal infection, lupus erythematosus, radiation therapy and Sarcoidosis.  Diagnosis of hair loss is partly based on the areas affected.

Treatment of pattern hair loss may simply involve accepting the condition. Interventions that can be tried include the medications minoxidil (or Finasteride ) and hair transplant surgery.  

Alopecia Areata may be treated by steroid injections in the affected area, but these need to be frequently repeated to be effective.  

Hair loss is a common problem. Pattern hair loss by age 50 affects about half of males and a quarter of females.  

About 2% of people develop Alopecia Areata at some point in time.
