Don't let the name "babushka" scare you.  It may be the name for a Russian doll, and an endearing term for a baby, but in the case of  cancer headwear, it is a headscarf that is tied under the chin.  However, women are starting to wear babushkas in many other ways.  Similar to a turban, these versatile headscarves are a great alternative to chemotherapy wigs and scarves.  They can be worn several different ways; younger women tend to wear them more bandana-style, while older women prefer the turban, but it is all a personal preference.  To find out more about where to get a babushka and what they look like, read “Babushkas: The Latest Trend in Cancer Headwear.”

When women are losing their hair to chemotherapy, they often immediately think they will have to purchase a cancer wig.  This is not true, and many women forget about the option of buying a cancer head scarf.  There are lots of benefits to buying a head scarf over a cancer wig.  For example, in the summer your head scarf will let much more air near your scalp to cool you off, as opposed to a wig which will get hot and itchy.  It can be very hard to wear a head scarf at first because it’s something you are not used to, but when you look at them as a fashion statement instead of a cover-up for hair loss it is much easier.  To learn more about head scarves, read “The Benefits of Choosing a Head Scarf over a Cancer Wig.”
