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 one side of 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. THE BANDANAS WE SELL ARE NOT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. 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. See our range of paisley bandana here .
Plain Bandana We stock 4 different sizes of cotton head scarf. All are 100% high thread count cotton and all are machine washable.
Our Triangle scarves are typically half bandana and measures approx 22 inches by 22 inches by 30 inches, which is the same size as our regular bandana when you fold them in half. Because they have less material, they are easier to tie and a little less bulky. Perfect for summer weight head wear. These also make better head wear for babies (less weight) and for dog collars. Many of our customers use them to cover tracheostomy / tracheotomy scars as they are lighter and can be worn many ways around the neck area. See our range of Triangle Bandana here.
Our Medium bandana measure approx 18 inches square and ideally suited for those of us with smaller heads, but who want a full bandana. Again, great for baby hats and pets. See our range of Medium Bandana here.
Our regular bandana measure approx 22 inches square, great for folding different ways to create different styles. See our range of regular bandana here.
Our large bandana measure approx 27 inches square, great for those with larger heads, more hair or more adventurous tying methods. See our range of larger bandana here.
Patterned Bandana Most of our patterned range is 100% cotton, but some are cotton mix. The cotton mix bandana are more colourful and will keep the colour/pattern longer due to the manmade fibre element of their makeup. We have split these bandanas into sections. See our Girly bandana range, that includes Betty Boop, fairies, rainbows and retro patterned styles. Our Biker range includes motorbike themes, skulls, flames, lots of black scarves AND scarves for lady bikers too. Our range of Camouflage bandanas range doesn't just stick to blending in with the background. We offer bright pink, orange and blue options to the usual desert and foliage styles. Our unusual bandana range includes animal prints, star and planet designs as well as checked and hobby themed scarves.
