ABOUT US
Every woman deserves to feel beautiful no matter the obstacles or circumstances. Allowing beauty and joy into our hearts help us to heal and be content.
As a working mum, I’m also always looking for ready-to-wear modest headgear that doesn’t require time pinning and fixing it in place. Something simple to put on yet stylish to wear.
Which woman doesn’t love a stylish turban/hat on those bad hair days?
Time and time again I see my patients struggling to find easily accessible headgear that is not only suited for their specials needs but is also stylish, comfortable and affordable.
Hence Heart Headgear was created.
With all the above in mind we wanted to create a product that would serve two purposes, offer an instant head gear solution for modest wear and a stylish yet comfortable product suited for anyone with a health condition where scalp sensitivity and comfort is a priority.
Hair loss due to cancer, chemotherapy, alopecia or other health issues can have a significant impact on your self-esteem, and we believe that the right headwear can increase your sense of self.
What makes our chemo headwear unique?
All our products are proudly made in South Africa by our local community using environmental friendly products.
We offer modern, stylish, good quality headwear: something that you could find in your favourite store.
Our chemo headwear is designed to be worn during hair loss. Our Cotton Lycra has been tested and has a SPF greater than 50. However, you should still ensure that you protect your scalp and skin by applying sunscreen when outdoors.
Our headwear design is uniquely sized to fit securely on most heads with little or no hair. When you have lost your hair due to something like chemotherapy, you also lose the hair around your natural hairline. Unlike ordinary hats, our styles are designed to cover your entire scalp, including areas near the hairline and the nape of your neck.
Some of our designs have enough volume/material on top that it could also be worn with hair tied up or a volumizer.
We took great care ensuring that our designs suited sensitive skins. Our chemo headwear items are designed so that the fabric in contact with your scalp is Cotton Lycra, where some styles have added Chiffon to add some flair to your new look.
Even though our cotton range has been made with sensitive heads/alopecia in mind, it can be worn by everyone!
Our modesty and premium collections will include other fabrics too.
We will constantly be expanding our collection to include new styles, colours and fabrics.
We will also be introducing a children’s range soon.
