Color Therapy With Tying Headwrap Scarves And Turbans For Cancer Hats, Chemo Hair Loss & Alopecia
Each year, thousands of women have chemo hair loss or alopecia from other medical treatments. And at some point in their lives, another 4.5 million people in the US will be affected with baldness from other causes.
With the other side effects of chemo, the stress of a chronic illness or alopecia, we need all the cheering up we can get. Our hair is such a significant part of our self image that sudden, complete hair loss often has a deep impact on our identity and confidence. What if we approached this change by using our favorite colors to our advantage?
For better or worse, color does influence our emotions, and the way each person perceives color is subjective. Bright colors that lift one person´s mood can be overwhelming or garish to someone else. Pastels that are soothing for one may be dreary for another.
As part of your self-expression, color communicates something about your personality. The effect of color in our lives can be mystical, psychological and even functional. During meditation, feelings of well being are enhanced with visualization of color that has specific meaning to the person. Deep breathing exercises that use a sense of color being directed at different areas of the body can help patients cope and better manage the stress and fear related to their illness.
Before you choose a cancer hat, tie a headwrap scarf or turban, here are 5 tips for selecting your best colors:
1. Grab a pad & pen. Go through your closet and make a list of the colors that look best on you. If you´re not sure, hold it near your face in front of the mirror.
2. Add to the list the colors that get you compliments whenever you wear them (even if you don´t own them right now).
3. List 1 color you purposely avoid wearing (you may or may own that color).
4. Write down one emotion you connect with each color, whether positive or negative. For example: red (exciting, irritating or?); blue (healing or boring?); black (sophisticated or gloomy?).
5. If you don´t own at least 3 colors that make you feel good, fill in your list with the colors you need to add to your wardrobe - and the positive feeling each one gives you.
You don´t have to buy a new wardrobe. An accessory, especially one worn near your face, can change the whole mood of your appearance. Is that gray sweater depressing? It can be a beautiful subtle background for a headwrap of fuchsia, purple, white, turquoise and/or black!
For those that unfortunate folks that are stuck with having to deal with their hair every day, dyeing it to match each outfit is not a sensible option. But without hair, you can look elegant with a scarf, turban headwrap or hat that is a proud statement of your colorful spirit.
