Bold Beanies were designed by Emilienne many years ago whilst undergoing chemotherapy treatment for Stage 4 Breast Cancer when she wanted something super soft and comfortable to stay covered up in front on the family, keep warm but also stylish and pretty for a younger person going through cancer. 

These award winning cancer hats are made to exceptional high standards using the best quality cotton based stretchy fabric from Liberty Art Fabrics which is famous all over the world for quality and the best designs. Minimal seams and not irritating labels make for a comfortable beanie. The stretchy fabric allows the cap to fit snuggly but not tightly onto a bald sensitive scalp and stay put whilst you get on with your day or get a good nights rest. Not too hot or cold, the breathable fabric wicks away sweat and keeps the head at an even temperature. 

Will you go for a plain hat or get one customised with a name or slogan of your choice? Or choose from the wide range of beautiful pattered Liberty prints? 

Designed to be worn day or night, on their own or layered up under another beanie or head scarf... show us how you wear yours. Matching scarves and PICC line covers available now. 

Bold Beanies cotton chemotherapy hats are so soft and stretchy they fit snuggly, but not tightly onto a sensitive scalp for a good nights rest. They are made in the UK from luxury natural fabrics and the highest quality design construction. We ship worldwide.

I know from my own experience that finding something comfortable and breathable is hard and yet very important when suffering from hair loss, especially from cancer chemotherapy as you lose your hair suddenly and feel the cold or more permanent hair loss such as Alopecia. 

You can't wear a wig or scarf comfortably in bed and they slip about when you move. I ended up wearing woolly hats in bed, but these were itchy and often too hot... so I would take it off... and then find myself freezing cold, especially as I had my chemo during winter months and lived in a draughty house. But these soft hats are great for warmer weather too as they are temperature controlling and wick away sweat.

Macmillan Cancer Support off the following advice to those having chemotherapy. Bold Beanies are soft cotton stretchy thin breathable cancer sleep caps, perfect for wearing night or day to protect your hair and help with the distressing effects of hair loss.

It is important to look after your hair during and after cancer treatment:

• Wash your hair at least every two days.
• Use gentle hair products and non-medicated shampoo.
• If you are having radiotherapy, ask your radiotherapy team if you can use shampoo and which type is best.
• Only use conditioner on the middle and ends of your hair.
• When drying your hair with a towel, don’t rub hard.
• Use a brush with wide-spaced prongs or a wide-toothed comb.

• Wear a soft cap at night.
