With the increasing number of women every year that undergo chemotherapy for breast cancer, it is probable that someone we know may have to deal with the side effect of complete hair loss, known as alopecia. As our population ages, it is also common for women to experience thinning hair due to thyroid problems and other medical conditions. In normal circumstances, simply having a bad hair day is aggravating, but hair loss compounds the devastating effects of greater health challenges.

A comfortable alternative to wigs and hairpieces are colorful head wraps, turbans and layered scarves, which can be worn indoors or out, from casual to formal looks. With the variety of colors and textures available, they can be even more flattering than your own hair.

Wraps and Turbans Flatter Your Face Shape

If you think you don´t look good in head wear, maybe you haven´t found the right style for your face shape. Just like choosing a hairstyle, your goal is to accentuate the positive and balance the shape of your face.

For all face shapes, first bring the edges of the piece around your natural hair line to cover the tops of your ears, and play with twisting, wrapping and tying the end in knots, bows or half bows (only one loop). Experiment with tying the knot on one side and then the other, with tail ends hanging down. Spread the fabric of the bow for maximum fullness, and position it in different areas around your head. What is your best look?

If the turban completely covers or replaces your hair, you can balance the look even more with earrings that are larger than you may normally wear.

What is Your Face Shape?

A quick trick is to stand in front of a mirror, smooth your hair away from your face and draw an outline of your reflection on the mirror with a soft eyeliner pencil or old lipstick.

1. Notice the overall length and width of your face.

2. Compare the width of your face in three places:

• Across your forehead just above your eyebrows

• Across the top of your cheekbones

• Across your jaw line and chin

An oval face is about 1 ½ times longer than it is wide and the most balanced shape. Whether or not you have hair loss, you can wear just about any style of head covering.

If the length and width of your face are fairly equal, you have a round face and will need to embellish the flat outline of the basic turban. Add height by layering with a twisted band or scarf. You can further soften lines with a bow, half bow or silk flower on one side just above your ear.

A square face is about the same width across the forehead and the jaw line. Add height with a twisted band as described above. To soften your jaw line, tie the band just behind your ear, with full ends flowing in front of your collarbone. Or tie a large bow above or behind your ear,

A heart-shaped face is widest across the forehead and/or cheekbones, with a small, narrow jaw line or chin. The edge of the wrap can be a little lower on your forehead, with the knot behind your ear and the tie ends hanging long in front or back. Scarf ends that are square or rounded will look better than pointed ones, which can exaggerate a pronounced chin. A full bow towards the top of your head will accentuate your eyes.

It is not shallow vanity to want to improve our appearance. As visual creatures, we decorate this outer shell to relate to others and display our need for connection. Even through illness, you will be more encouraged be around people if you know your unique beauty still reflects from the inside out. Being around those who love and support you is one of the best natural medicines you can find.
