After researching head coverings for chemo patients, I am wondering how I will be able to keep putting my mask on and off, along with my glasses, when all the head coverings I see cover the ears as well. (Posted on 02/11/2021)

I have alopecia because of stress related to my husband's 3 years on Hospice. He passed away on Valentine's Day 2020, and my hair, although shade of gray, (previously, I had always had a dark brown) started to grow back. I was wearing wigs after my hair started to fall out. As it started to grow back, I was just going to embrace the gray, but now it has started to fall out again. I hate wearing a wig when I work out. What kind of headpiece/ bangs would you recommend that would breathe? (Posted on 01/25/2021)

Reply

We are so sorry to hear about your husband. Our heart goes out to you during this time. For working out, we would recommend one of our bamboo turbans. They wick away moisture, are breathable and are super soft on the head. Our Track Comfort Cap is one good option: https://www.headcovers.com/bamboo-track-comfort-cap/ (04/26/2022)

Not a comment, a question. My Mom is having brain surgery next week and when she is discharged from the hospital she wants a turbon. What is the best material for a turbon to be worn after surgery? (Posted on 08/27/2020)

Reply

We would recommend bamboo viscose, silk or cotton. Silk and cotton are natural fibers that provide a high degree of breathability while bamboo is silky soft and soothing on a sensitive scalp. (04/26/2022)

I love your products. However I wish you showed some models who wear glasses. Glasses change the look and some pictures or tips would help. (Posted on 08/15/2020)

I would like to know how to wash my cloth mask. I know it says 140 degrees for the water temp. but does that mean on the "hot" cycle in the washing machine or can this be done by hand? Also, can the cloth mask go in the dryer? Thank you! (Posted on 05/05/2020)

when I look at the same color on different wigs, the color can be very different on the swatch. I make sure to put in the number and name. It can be several shaded darker or lighter. Then I'm not sure I want that color . I've talked to a color consultant already. But the color photos are really throwing me. (Posted on 02/01/2018)

Reply

We would recommend going with the wig consultant's suggestion because colors can vary according to your screen. The very best way to find a hair color is for you to send us a hair swatch for matching. Please see our resource page on selecting a hair color for much more information. There are lots of ways we can help you to select the best option. (04/17/2019)
