There are many symptoms and side effects to cancer treatment that can affect your body and self-image, but none are more devastating to women than hair loss.  But despite feeling weak, different, less energetic than usual, and working through the uncertainty of your illness, many women find themselves looking for a way to feel good about the way the look.  If you are looking for a cancer headwear that will look fashionable without calling too much attention to your condition, then your ideal cancer headcover may be a scarf.  More and more women are opting for a selection of chemotherapy scarves, rather than wearing a wig, because they are much easier to wear and allow for a more personalized expression of their individual style.

Choosing a cancer scarf can be a little intimidating at first, so it helps if you choose more than one.  Look for one that won’t clash with your wardrobe, is comfortable, and doesn’t irritate your skin during treatment.  Chemotherapy scarves can be worn in many different ways, and many web sites will show you several different ways to tie them so you can try out a different look every day.

Wrapping your scarf may be a little difficult for the beginner, and some people get the hang of it faster when they can watch someone else do it first.  Look online for videos and how-to instructions, or ask someone in your cancer support group to show you how they wrap theirs.

Some women like to add accessories to their cancer scarves, such as a brooch or pin.  Not only do accessories make scarves more versatile and fun, they also tend to draw the eye away from the scarf itself by accentuating the fashion element of the headpiece.

However, you choose to wear your scarf, remember to have fun with it. Cancer scarves are a great way to look your best, which can have a tremendous impact on the way you feel.
