Chemo hair loss can be fast and usually starts to fall out with the second round of chemo infusion. It can make your scalp sore (it reminded me of when I had my hair tied back too tight as a child and then it hurt when you took the bands out). Loosing your hair suddenly can make you feel very cold as a bald head losses heat very quickly.  You may also lose hair from all over your body, adding to the heat loss.

Often you will have had some kind of surgery which may make lifting your arms quite difficult. Tying scarves therefore might be too hard or tricky so a simple Bold Beanie to slip on easily to cover up for yourself and loved ones is just what's needed. 

Bold Beanies are made using the highest quality soft silky stretchy fabrics from the UK and Liberty of London.

These skull caps are designed to fit snugly on the head, but not tightly and will not slip around like a scarf. Wear a Bold Beanie as a liner under any scarf to stop it moving and provide more warmth, especially over ears if wanted.  No labels inside to irritate the scalp.

Bold Beanies cancer headwear are a staple of your chemo wardrobe in order to keep your head at a comfortable even temperature.

Wear one of these thin soft breathable beanies under any type of other hat (wooly, knitted, fleece) to provide a natural barrier for a sensitive scalp.  Everyone will be offered a wig (on the NHS...

I chatted recently to a customer who is having a new treatment for a brain tumour and I was astonished to hear how good this new treatment is working, its success rate and more importantly with no nasty side effects giving back 'quality of life' to many cancer patients. He loves his Bold Beanies hair loss hats as they are the most comfortable hat to wear over his patches (with a shaved head) and keep some normality and discretion. I have also hand-made some cord covers to co-ordinate his hats and back pack. Please contact me, Emilienne, directly via info@boldbeanies.co.uk...

Happy 11th Birthday my beautiful girl. 10 years since your first birthday and my second chemo where we sat and took this photo of us together. 10 years since I started to loose my hair with my chemotherapy treatment for Grade 3 advanced Breast Cancer, which eventually led to me starting to make Bold Beanies for fellow sufferers.  Lotte, I'm so incredibly proud of the wonderful, nice and caring person you have become and I'm proud to be your mummy. I'm so grateful for every singe day and snuggle we get to share together and for the way you tell...
