Whatever the reason behind your permanent or temporary hair loss or thinning, losing your natural hair can have a major impact on your mental wellbeing.
While the high-quality wigs we so proudly supply certainly play their parts in helping wig wearers everywhere feel more self-assured, gaining the confidence to go wig-free is something entirely different as lifelong wig wearer and alopecia sufferer Emma Hickinbotham explains:
“I have been thinking for a few years that it would be nice to not wear my wig all the time and since getting involved with Alopecia UK and meeting lots of other people with alopecia who look great without a wig, I started to think it was an option for me. I had taken it off a few times on holiday safe in the knowledge no one would know me, but the first time I did that in a more familiar environment was when I was at a concert earlier this year with my daughter.”
Investing in a cover-up is one way to ease yourself into going wig-free. With autumn officially underway, wearing a stylish cover-up unlocks yet more benefits, with limited exposure to the elements and the ability to leave your wig at home (and tangle-free) embraced by many this season.
Whether you’re looking for a cover-up just for autumn or as a step towards going wig-free, we can help. Read on to discover just five of the fabulous cover-ups you should be wearing this autumn…
1. Paris Turban
Our Paris Turban doesn’t just deliver on style. In addition to being available in ultra-feminine cerise and two-tone purple twist, this turban is crafted using a blend of bamboo and Lycra.
While the Lycra is there to ensure a flexible fit, whatever the occasion, its 95% bamboo status is the key to comfort all year round. Bamboo provides the perfect, wig-free coverage, with super soft, antibacterial, antifungal, hypoallergenic, moisture wicking, thermo regulating and highly breathable qualities meaning it goes above and beyond other fabrics when used as headwear.
Bamboo is in fact three times more absorbent than cotton, and actively controls perspiration to keep you cool in hot weather and warm during the colder seasons.
2. Milan Hat
Another bamboo design that’s a bestseller in our headwear range is the Milan Hat. Available in a wide range of beautiful colours – including black, chocolate, cocoa, cream, latte, lilac, mocha, mustard, olive, purple, sage, turquoise and wine – this modern design is both breathable and beautiful. It also features a stylish buckle to add something different to your headwear look.
3. Mia Bandana
For a pop of colour in the drearier winter months, try our Mia Bandana for size. Choose from our vibrant abstract, peacock, pink paisley, pink roses and turquoise designs to find a cover-up you can rock all year round, wherever your adventure takes you.
4. Brooklyn Hat
For a classy colour and touchably soft texture, our Brooklyn Hat is a real winner. Whether opting for our amethyst, forest green or mink design, this stunning, 90% cotton velour cover-up offers plenty of comfort and style. It’s also ultra-lightweight and easy to wear as a result.
5. Maxi Scarf
You don’t have to leave those springtime vibes behind completely. Our bright and beautiful Maxi Scarf uses pretty florals to ensure a striking finish that works well during any season.
