MEET JANE! New to the Bold Beanies Hats collect we have a new product and print, the Jane Double-Sided Head Wrap. 

You can layer the Jane hair wrap over any Bold Beanie cancer cap but we have to say, it looks especially good wrapped around the Jane Bold Beanie. This striking and fashionable small floral and leaf print is a mix of red, petrol blue, blue, taupe, coral and blush on a soft warm black background.

We love this print so much we've decided to offer the reversible side in two colours to compliment the print. Both colours show a little when tied print side up, so you can choose bright red for a pop of colour or a more subtle taupe. As a reversible product you can wear this head wrap in any direction (plain colour at the top!) which gives you lots more wrapping style options, but also very cost effective, affordable hair loss solution. Especially when budget is tight or as a space saver when travelling for example. Many different looks, with just one headwear product!

Made using the very best quality fabric to the highest standards, this Jane reversible head wrap will be the perfect addition to any woman's chemotherapy or alopecia hair loss collection. The stretchy fabric allows you to tie to the side, back or top leaving little or long lengths hanging down depending on how you tie it and your mood... mix it up every day!

Veteran BBC Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen has said he has been diagnosed with bowel cancer.

The former BBC Breakfast host said he was undergoing chemotherapy after noticing "funny pains in my legs and in my back" whilst in Iraq last May.

Screening for bowel cancer in England is to start taking place aged 50, Public Health England said Last Year. April is bowel cancer awareness month and Bowen revealed his diagnosis to raise awareness of the disease.

Doctors initially believed the veteran journalist's pain was due to scarring from previous surgery, he told BBC Breakfast, the show which he presented alongside Sophie Raworth between 2000 and 2002.

"I had no symptoms - none of the classic bowel cancer symptoms. Nothing at all. But I thought I should get a test", he said.

He said he received a positive result and had a colonoscopy - a camera inserted into the colon to look for signs of cancer.

"It's not nearly as bad as it sounds - they give you lots of drugs," he said.

Surgeons found a tumour, which they removed, and he was currently having chemotherapy, he said.

A great interview by Lorriane with singer John Newman this morning about living with a brain tumour and raising awareness for Brain Cancer and asking us all join in with the 'Wear a Hat campaign' tomorrow #BrainTumourAwarenessMonth

I encourage everyone to listen to his humble encouraging and inspiring words, I was really impressed, especially as everyone can relate to his words at some point in their lives.

"A smooth sea never created a skilled sailor"

I've listed the signs of Brain Tumours in adults below and you can find out on the signs of brain tumours in babies, children and teens and about being HeadSmart here:

John Newman has topped the charts many times, but the singer reveals that despite his success, the pressure to produce hit songs made him fall out of love with music. His wife has been a driving force for him, encouraging him to enjoy the music and release the 'bangers' like his new single Feelings. He's also living with a brain tumour and is fronting the Wear A Hat Campaign to raise awareness of the symptoms of brain tumours.

The signs and symptoms of a brain tumour vary greatly and depend on the brain tumour's size, location and rate of growth.
