There are days when the wig is the obvious choice, and days when it isn't. Days at home, hospital visits, early mornings, warm summers. On those days a turban isn't a fallback, it's a choice in its own right.
We stock headwear for exactly that reason – many of our customers use both and switch depending on the day.
What we have
- Pre-tied turbans. You pull them on like a hat. No tying in front of the mirror, nothing sliding during the day.
- Scarves to tie yourself. More variation, but they take a bit of technique. We're happy to show you two or three ways while you're here.
- Soft caps for the night. Cotton or bamboo, with no seam at the nape.
- Volume bands and curls to attach underneath. They give the outline of hair at the nape and temples, so it's less obvious that the head is bare beneath.
What matters in the choice
The fabric. With hair loss after treatment, skin and scalp are often more tender than usual. Soft cotton or bamboo won't chafe, while stiff viscose can feel like sandpaper.
The seams. A folded seam at the nape is the difference between a turban you forget about and one you think about all day.
How far down the forehead it sits. Too high feels unstable, too low gets unsteady at the brows. Hard to judge from a photo, easy to feel in person.
Turban and wig together
Many people wear a thin cap under the wig to take the edge off heat and stickiness, especially in the first weeks when the scalp is sensitive. It isn't an either-or – it's the same shelf in the shop.
Try them in person
Headwear is hard to buy from a photo. It takes five minutes to try a few, and you'll know straight away what feels like you.
