It is the versatility of head scarves that make them an excellent choice for hair loss. They come in many colours and patterns, allowing you to match them with any outfit. You can also create different styles depending on the shape of your scarf. 

What is better: a rectangle scarf or a square scarf?

You will need a scarf of at least 28 x 28 inches to cover the entire head. Square head scarves are the easiest to work with and offer many styling options. You can, however, create more intricate head wraps or turbans with rectangular head scarves. In order to create the illusion of more volume, you may want to invest in this scarf. 

If you are worried about the scarf slipping or would like more fullness and volume, you should try out a 'scarf pad'. 

The scarf pad is a soft, terry cloth full cap that can be worn underneath a scarf or headband. It provides fullness and volume to the top of the head, giving the appearance of hair. With total hair loss, the scarf pad can create a flattering look for you and make you feel more confident. Additionally, it prevents your scarves from slipping when you tie them, making your scarves easier to tie and requiring fewer steps!
