Many of our customers buy head wear to cover hair loss caused by illness or alopecia. Here are some brief notes on the range of products we have available.
Paisley Bandana Classic style bandana with paisley pattern around the border and small paisley symbols dotted around the center, or with just a paisley patterned border have always been in style. The patterns is achieved on most bananas by screen printing onto the fabric. The ink used is raised and gives the bandana a rough feel on the printed side. This pattern also washes off in regular machine washing so hand washing in cool water is required. Because more starch is used to keep the bandana from bending during the printing process, these types will need a good wash and several rinses to get rid of excess starch that may irritate delicate scalp during or after chemotherapy.
Our paisley bandana scarves are double sided, which means the pattern is visible on both sides. The ink used is slightly different and actually goes deep into the fabric, making no uncomfortable raised or sharp surfaces. The pattern will not wash off in a washing machine, but will fade naturally (along with any strong colour, as all strong coloured 100% cotton garments do), slowly over many, many washes. Less starch is used and in some cases the bandana can be worn immediately without prior washing as they are soft enough not to irritate. |
